(Get the code!)
Yes there is an existing Ubuntu install but that's beside the point.
The Installation Type menu used to look like the following URL and still should.
https:/
How else can someone re-install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but keep their /home personal files.
Unless of course you want to make newbies pick "Something Else" the recreate all partitions BUT /home.
I think that would be a mistake.
This Problem has happened to someone on the Ubuntu sub-reddit:
https:/
I didn't initially want to test this myself to see if he was right.
Then I decided to try a USB Ubuntu Install myself on one of my Existing Ubuntu 22.04.2 Desktop systems.
Booted the USB and picked Install Ubuntu
When I got the the "Installation Type" menu ...
He was right... those First 3 options are now missing even though the disk I would be installing TO already
had Ubuntu 22.04.2 on it.
All I had on my screen as options were:
- Erase disk and Install Ubuntu
- Something Else
So anyone that has an existing Ubuntu installation but hoses something up and wants to just reinstall Ubuntu but keep their existing /home personal files looks out of luck.
That can't be right?
