No idea about most of your question, but I think you entered the wrong UUUD. nvme0p1 is the name of the partition.

Use to blkid in the Terminal the output will be something like:

/dev/sda3: UUID="a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0ea90c96-1b56-4c51-b07a-02e09285f291"
/dev/sr0: BLOCK_SIZE="2048" UUID="2020-10-22-14-30-30-00" LABEL="Ubuntu 20.10 amd64" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="PMBR"

This is how a valid UUID looks like: a7d71686-0a65-4402-b6e6-b58430ef8351

Can you elaborate on this topic? Are we just speaking about a web player?

No particular reason. I don’t really have much experiences with web apps. I don’t like the idea of putting every functionality into my Browser and I like it simple.

Sounds interesting. If I understood correctly, it’s about 5 bucks a month for remote access and tidal/Quboz integration? Also I need to set it up on a server or raspberry pi? Could be a bit overkill for just a music player…

Is it good, can you recommend it? And most important, does it have dark mode?

So you say music streaming is taking the same enshittification route as streaming in general? That sucks to hear :/ I really want to switch, but I am only paying like 5€ in a Spotify family… so if it’s just too hard it may be not worth it. However Spotify is fucking annoying me, it always plays the same shitty music and doesn’t learn at all from my taste

It was me guys! I got the poll last week and I am pretty sure my Linux Mint 22.2 pushed it over 3% !!!

Also, I am surprised canceling the NTFS slide mid-copy didn’t break anything lol

Me too. After hitting cancel, a new “Force cancel” button appeared, but I luckily waited it out. Gparted reversed all actions it did and also copied back the couple of MB it already shifted over, when it finally told me it succeeded. So I guess the data is fine, but yeah I backed it up before anyway. Thanks for your write up, even if it came a but too late ;)

I now delete all partition on /dev/sda/ but my data partition sda4. Adding the unallocated space from sda5 and sda6 was no problem, but the partitions left were problematic. They are only about 800 MB and gparted tried to prepend that by copying the whole 913GB. I canceled the operation which would have taken more than 4 hours and prayed to god. He didn’t listen but it worked anyway.

Now after another grub-update the computer now boots directly into Linux, I have more free space and I got rid of the Windows bloat.

Thank you so much!

0. I made sure Linux boots with the other drives removed
1. Removed the NVME drive with Linux Mint
2. booted into Gparted Live
3. deleted all partitions on /dev/sdb and created a new ext4
4. Restarted, the PC directly boots into “Automatic Repair” Windows stuff, I guess that comes from /dev/sda. However yeah I have to go to boot menu, choose the NVME, and then I get to the grub menu where I can choose Linux Mint - annoying
5. I mounted the new partition and edited fstab, which went well
6. Run grub update, the sdb Windows entries are gone

Now unfortunately I am still directly booting into the Windows repair mode. Before I directly booted into GRUB where I could choose or do nothing for some seconds to automatically boot into Linux. In BIOS the old Toshiba HDD is actually at boot order 1, but the Linux drive does not appear there.

I will now make a backup of the already mounted data partition on sda (couple 100s of GB, but anyway) and try to remove the old partitions on that disk and merge them with data. It still stays NTFS, but I am too lazy at the moment to completely wipe it. Maybe something goes wrong with boasted anyway lol.

Thanks so far!

So you are saying I can just easily format the disk dev/sdb? If I want to disconnect the other 2 disks before, I have to boot into a gparted live USB stick, right? What about all those Microsoft Windows Recovery partitions on the Toshiba disk, do you know where I come from? Can I just remove them and merge them with the biggest partition using the inbuilt partitioning tool? Thanks :)
