Xubuntu 16.04

[Richard Thornton]

What happened to Xubuntu? Version 15.10 was really good; why change it?

Sorry I'm not the original poster Dave, but one thing I found that
changed across all the *buntus was the disk setup. I'm still using
14.04. For some odd reason 16.04 (USB key) cannot recognize my drive
setup. I've tried Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu MATE and they all fail
to see my SSD+HD. If I dd a 14.04 ISO to the key it has no problem
seeing the drives. It's bizarre. I'm not really using any strange
hardware: a Gigabyte motherboard, A8-5600K APU, 120GB SSD + 1TB WD
HDD. Bizarre that 14.04 sees it but 16.04 doesn't. That said I've been
lazy and haven't looked at the bug queue.

Can I ask what you think is wrong with 16.04
Personally I find it a lot better

Hi Charles,

Run 'sudo blkid' in a 16.04 terminal. The important information here
are the UUID codes, which fstab needs to permanently mount media devices
on bootup. It's possible to use the /dev drive assignments instead of
UUID in fstab ito identify the drives, but this is not recommended given
that /dev assignments can and will change.

Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Charles,

Just another thought. After using blkid, you might want to read
/etc/mtab. Grep each drive by /dev assignment for the full information
needed for /etc/fstab. You will still need to use UUID from blkid to
sufficiently assign drives in /etc/fstab.

Thanks
