Good evening, I believe Stan is correct. I built this system 4+ years ago. At that time, it was my understanding that to get a windows-7 and Fedora dual-boot system, I had to install windows-7 first. I think that at that time, windows-7 did not support UEFI. Though I did not explicitly make it so, the windows-7 install made this a non-UEFI (old BIOS?) system. My sense is that that in turn forced the Fedora install to use the old BIOS. I don't recall having any choice in that. My sense is that for me to now try to convert this home system to UEFI would mean a total re-install of both Fedora and windows-7. (Am I correct?) Remembering how much trouble I had with this 4+ years ago, and being a home user, not a sys-admin, I fear such a conversion would take days, and wouldn't really gain me anything. Questions: When doing my windows patches and scans today, windows automatically downloaded and installed a new device driver for the new hard drive. Do I need to do that in Fedora? Did Fedora automatically do that already? How do I check? I saw no indication of vmlinuz crashes in the "journalctl -b" output. I also haven't seen any more vmlinuz crash messages. I'll keep watching. I'll be doing the weekly "dnf upgrade" tomorrow; maybe that will fix any problems that do exist. What log file shows me all attempts to sign in to this system regardless whether they're local or remote, and regardless whether they were successful or not? And where is that log file? Bill, here's my fdisk output: --------------- -bash.1[~]: fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xfde8da65 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 1859026943 1858820096 886.4G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 1859026944 1860050943 1024000 500M 83 Linux /dev/sda4 1860050944 3907029167 2046978224 976.1G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1860052992 1876436991 16384000 7.8G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 1876439040 1981296639 104857600 50G 83 Linux /dev/sda7 1981298688 3907028991 1925730304 918.3G 83 Linux -bash.2[~]: --------------- sda2 is the windows partition, sda6 is the Linux partition, sda7 is Linux "/home". thanks, Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
