The official "minimum" space requirements for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & Ubuntu 17.10 show 25GB of free hard drive space. You probably will want to add some cushion to that so that you don't run into trouble with your SSD -- especially since both Ubuntu and Win10 will increase in size.



Assuming you have 25GB free on the SSD plus some cushion (I'd recommend ~40GB+ free space on the SSD before moving forward), then when you boot to an Ubuntu Live USB stick and step through the installation process, you'll have the opportunity to make choices about where everything gets installed and how.

  • Thanks for the information but maybe I couldn't express myself clearly. Can I add 'cushions' to my HDD and run Ubuntu with 25GB on the SSD for faster boots? Since my SDD is 128 GB I can not have a 40+ GB partition

  • You will probably want more than 25GB of free space on the SSD to install and run Ubuntu there for fast booting of a "typical" desktop installation of Ubuntu. If you'd like to avoid having to set up a partition as large as the one I recommended, you can refer to the article linked in a previous comment by @karel to see if a different Ubuntu configuration makes sense. Of course you can try a 25GB partition at first if that's all you have. It should work for a while.

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...
