  • This discussion is 4 month old, but I will post the top comment (49 Upvotes) because it is not so easy to follow that archive link.

    I’m a KeePassXC maintainer. The Copilot PRs are a test drive to speed up the development process. For now, it’s just a playground and most of the PRs are simple fixes for existing issues with very limited reach. None of the PRs are merged without being reviewed, tested, and, if necessary, amended by a human developer. This is how it is now and how it will continue to be should we choose to go on with this. We prefer to be transparent about the use of AI, so we chose to go the PR route. We could have also done it locally and nobody would ever know. That’s probably how most projects work these days. We might publish a blog article soon with some more details.


  • No idea about most of your question, but I think you entered the wrong UUID. nvme0p1 is the name of the partition.

    Use blkid in the Terminal, the output will be something like:

    /dev/sda3: UUID="a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0ea90c96-1b56-4c51-b07a-02e09285f291"
    /dev/sr0: BLOCK_SIZE="2048" UUID="2020-10-22-14-30-30-00" LABEL="Ubuntu 20.10 amd64" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="PMBR"
    

    This is how a valid UUID looks like: a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351










  • I now delete all partition on /dev/sda/ but my data partition sda4. Adding the unallocated space from sda5 and sda6 was no problem, but the partitions left were problematic. They are only about 800 MB and gparted tried to prepend that by copying the whole 913GB. I canceled the operation which would have taken more than 4 hours and prayed to god. He didn’t listen but it worked anyway.

    Now after another grub-update the computer now boots directly into Linux, I have more free space and I got rid of the Windows bloat.

    Thank you so much!


    1. I made sure Linux boots with the other drives removed
    2. Removed the NVME drive with Linux Mint
    3. booted into Gparted Live
    4. deleted all partitions on /dev/sdb and created a new ext4
    5. Restarted, the PC directly boots into “Automatic Repair” Windows stuff, I guess that comes from /dev/sda. However yeah I have to go to boot menu, choose the NVME, and then I get to the grub menu where I can choose Linux Mint - annoying
    6. I mounted the new partition and edited fstab, which went well
    7. Run grub update, the sdb Windows entries are gone

    Now unfortunately I am still directly booting into the Windows repair mode. Before I directly booted into GRUB where I could choose or do nothing for some seconds to automatically boot into Linux. In BIOS the old Toshiba HDD is actually at boot order 1, but the Linux drive does not appear there.

    I will now make a backup of the already mounted data partition on sda (couple 100s of GB, but anyway) and try to remove the old partitions on that disk and merge them with data. It still stays NTFS, but I am too lazy at the moment to completely wipe it. Maybe something goes wrong with boasted anyway lol.

    Thanks so far!
