I’ve just listened to Ubuntu-podcast S09-E08 on my new BQ.Aquaris M10 – it works a treat. Thanks, and keep up the good work
I’ve just enjoyed s09e08 and following the discussion about rebooting a laptop only to find it doesn’t, I thought I’d mention the excellent qemu -snapshot feature. I’ve previously written an article about using it to test server bootability: https://www.pither.com/simon/blog/2015/01/21/testing-new-boot-configuration but the same idea would work on a local machine – something along the lines of (if using an x86_64 laptop):
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda /dev/sda -snapshot -boot c
Thanks for the great podcast.
