 今天偷得些许空闲，竟把人人网的密码想了起来，登进去看看已然不同光景，只剩下自己的日志、部分相册和好友列表可以浏览，日志下的留言、留言板、曾经风靡一时的小游戏、甚至尺寸大一些的照片，似乎在后台都被删除了，本来想来坟场拾拾荒，收一些十年前的破烂，却发现日志都不允许被选中复制，甚至不能删除，彷佛听到网页在哀求，客官纵情看那彼岸花开繁茂，又何必要来贱怜此地最后几棵荒草？大厦轰塌，只剩的满地的瓦砾，别说开门迎客，就是网页跳转时不时弹跳出来的Exception也让人充满了在残砖破瓦中寻觅故土的感觉。不知道这些仅存的遗迹还能存在多久，或许我还会回去看看，或许我已忘记它的所在。

可能已经贴过这歌了

但时不时响起依旧应景

对不起她

Install Ubuntu 18.04 along Windows 10 on Dell Inspiron 3xxx

This is a log of my efforts to install Ubuntu 18.04 along Win10 on a Dell laptop.

It doesn't serve as a guide but more as a debugging log.

It started easy. Burn an ISO image using Rufus. Remember to select GPT (not MBR as the default) on later computer models.

Partitioning the hard drive following the steps in https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ .(Same as many other guides, no issues).

In the process, I have disabled BitLocker (at Windows search, type bitlocker and Turn Off encryption. This may take awhile depending on the number of files on the hard drive).

I also disabled Secure Boot. This is done in BIOS menu. It can be accessed at start-up by pressing F12->BIOS->Secure Boot.

If Secure Boot is deactivated but BitLocker remained on, the Windows booting sequence will halt and ask for Recovery Key. I didn't give it the key as I was afraid it might reactivate the functionalities that I just disabled.

 The first major problem is that there is no option to boot from a USB stick at the boot menu (after pressing F12). 

 The first working solution is found in the answer here by creating a booting option manual:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/726938/how-to-boot-from-a-usb-in-uefi-mode-on-a-dell-inspiron#
The names of the files in Step 5 are different for me. I tried both the file with all capitalized names worked for me. Also I had to make sure that it did not have Secure Boot.

The second major problem is that the installer cannot access the partition I recently created. An identical image is seen in the question here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1041305/ubuntu-16-04-cant-see-my-ssd-partitions-when-installing-alongside-windows-10

The solution is to follow the second approach in the first answer exactly as the post suggested.

Now we can return to the steps in https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ to finish the installation.

The last difference in my installation is that the default ubuntu booting option doesn't work. It leads to some kind of system recovery assistant because it can't find the boot files. So I again created a booting option manually, just like the steps in https://askubuntu.com/questions/726938/how-to-boot-from-a-usb-in-uefi-mode-on-a-dell-inspiron#, except that in Step 5.3, I chose another partition instead of FS0 and tried a booting file in the EFI directory. I think I selected the one starting with sh* since it is secure boot. 

I have not changed any settings in Windows back to what they were. So far my system hasn't crashed yet. I will follow up if I receive any surprises.

折子戏

 闹腾了几年的读书希望可以画个圈圈了

其实遗憾自然是有很多的

从一开始决定来读，到中间碌碌无为地乱撞，都让自己大跌眼镜

中间积攒的恶心，也千万不能带到接下来的工作中去了。

另外去年10月1号开始玩了个类似龙将的网游，竟然还不知不觉充了150刀进去，也是刚开始没有想到的。游戏的各种竞争机制设计的不错，不断吸引玩家砸钱竞技。

本来想慢慢当成养成类游戏来玩，认识了一些比我还热情的同胞，一起上头了一个月，春节后两个突然觉悟退坑了，带着我一起退，可惜我退的并不坚决，从周一开始，硬是拖到了保护费过期的周四。一半是战友离开的伤感，一半也是早该敲打的理智。

最近还开始关心一些理财，买了基金，就一泻千里，不过数目不大，就那样吧。

想想接下来会轻松几周，其实之前总觉得新技术自己还是应该学起来，还有新工具，所以也不能太松懈。

这个月还把《大宅门》、《倚天屠龙记》和《尘埃落定》都速刷了一遍，被二傻子少爷迷住了。
