I’ve uploaded a short video showing the Ubuntu installer in action. This should serve as a general reference for most Linux installation processes, since the steps are similar across distributions. Use it alongside the instructions in the article for extra clarity.
I had a screen capture as well for the manual partitioning process using the Ubuntu installer; however, I forgot to export that capture from the live USB before rebooting.
My new Ubuntu 24.04 LTS+ESM install is ready for the next 8 years and 6 months of use:
Some screenshots (still tweaking, but it’s basically a more polished clone of my previous Gnome setup):
Temp wallpaper.
Sharing select /home/ folders between 2 distros
Symlinked /home/hydn/
for Ubuntu so I can continue with files in Kali home dir:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/kali-home
UUID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx /mnt/kali-home ext4 rw,relatime,x-systemd.device-timeout=5s 0 2
Then
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo mount -a
findmnt /mnt/kali-home #to test
Create the symlinks:
ln -s /mnt/kali-home/home/hydn/Documents ~/Documents
ln -s /mnt/kali-home/home/hydn/Downloads ~/Downloads
ln -s /mnt/kali-home/home/hydn/Pictures ~/Pictures
ln -s /mnt/kali-home/home/hydn/git ~/git
ln -s /mnt/kali-home/home/hydn/4trash ~/4trash
This works, which helps keep workflow sync’d:
The rest of the workflow files are stored on Google Drive and Dropbox.
Access to existing files on Kali natively and also able to save there:
I’ll adjust or report back any issues or tweaks as I use this.
