  • How to remove Ubuntu and put Windows back on?

  • How do I uninstall Ubuntu 11.04 from my computer

    1 answer



I have seen question like this but the answers were not what I was looking for.



On my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop, I want to install windows back, as I got the laptop off of a friend that switched it from windows to Ubuntu. But for some reason when I am installing windows it says that the hard drive has to be formatted to NTFS for windows to be installed. How do I do this?



Edit: This is NOT a duplicate. The answers on other pages are not actually giving correct instruction on what I want to do. When I go into the windows installer by changing boot order in BIOS, I get to "Where should windows be installed?" But when I click on my hard drive it says that windows can be installed because it is not in the NTFS format. What I want to know is how to change my hard drive to this NTFS format so windows can be installed onto it.

  • Create a unallocated place from gparted. Then you can convert it to Ntfs. Do you want to dual boot or want to install only windows?

  • The Windows installer can partition and format the disk for you, there should be no need to prepare it. If anything, boot from e.g. an Ubuntu live system and delete all partitions. Partition creation and especially formatting should be left for the installer.

  • No, when I am installing, it says pick a place to install windows (installing from usb), when I select my hard drive it says "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognized type."

  • This is a WINDOWS question. Installing and formatting to Windows has nothing to do with the current installed operating system. See a windows manual on how to do what you want.

pylint3 and pip3 broken

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I have tried sudo apt remove --purge on various packages. I get the same when I reinstall. I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work. My current workaround is to run pylint3 as root, which works, but is bad practice. pip3 $ pip3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0) ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 9, in <module> from pip import main File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.exceptions import InstallationError, CommandError, PipError File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/exceptions.py", line 6, ...

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
