Ubuntu18.04 system installation and prerequisite software installation guide

Introduction

This weekend was relatively idle, so I decided to reinstall the system on my old laptop at home. Because I plan to use this computer to write code (also because the configuration of this computer is outdated, it will be slower to install win10), so I installed Ubuntu 18.04.

Double click to run rufuns directly. Set partition type MBR, file system FAT32, cluster size 8192 bytes. (Pictured)

Click Start to make a boot disk. When the status progress bar is full, click Close, and the boot disk creation is complete.

Set startup items

First, turn off the quick startup under the win system. Turning on the quick startup may cause the U disk not to be recognized.

Turn off method: Control Panel--->Hardware and Sound--->Power Options--->Select the function of the power button--->Change the currently unavailable settings--->Turn off the quick start

Then turn off the computer, insert the U disk, and quickly press F2 when booting (different computers have different keys to enter the BIOS, most of which are F2 for Lenovo) to enter the BIOS settings.

After entering the BIOS settings, switch to the third tab Security (security options), and set Secure Boot to Disabled. Then find boot-USB boot-Enable to enable USB device boot. F10 to save and exit.

After the setting is complete, restart the computer, press and hold F12 to enter the Boot Manager when booting, and select the U disk to start.

Then enter the interface below and select Install Ubuntu.

First make some basic settings

(1) Set language (Simplified Chinese is the third from last)

(2) Keyboard layout (Chinese)

(3) Wireless network (just find and connect to your network)

(4) Update options (I am a single Ubuntu system, so I use normal installation)

(5) Installation type (other options, manual partitioning)

(6) Zoning plan (for reference)

(7) Select the time zone (click on the time zone location)

(8) Create user name

(9) Install the system software (this step is the longest time-consuming, just wait patiently)

The dialog box that pops up after the installation is successful.

So far, the Ubuntu system has been successfully installed on your computer. Now start to install some necessary software.
