The Swap Partition isn't needed for newer versions of Ubuntu as a Swap File will be used automatically. There are some edge cases where a swap partition may be beneficial.
BRAVO!!!! I spent hours upon hours trying to get past the create partition section of the installation. All the research and reading did nothing more than confuse me. I can't believe how hard and cryptic others describe this install which always led to failure. Your video is very simple to follow and my install worked without flaw
Big thanks to Abstract Programmer for the helpful Ubuntu installation video! It's my first time giving this system a fair chance, and your video made it much more approachable. Greetings from Piura - Peru!
Thank god you had a tutorial on this, I literally sat there in front of my screen wondering where I even went wrong. Good luck on your channel, and thanks for the tutorial -- it was all I need since last 2 days.
you can be sure that you only got 54k so far because either people don't know exactly how to search for this solution (took me almost an hour) or because indexers sometimes prioritize older content, because your video is the most intuitive I've found. thank you.
Thanks! For me, I wanted to install Ubuntu on some free space on a secondary drive on my Windows desktop. I just didn't follow the delete steps in the video's instructions. The drive was the only one in my system with free space, so it was easy to identify - I could even use the 'Device for boot loader installation' to quickly create the ESP. Still had to manually input the Swap and root.
My background started with DOS 3.0 and all of it's variances. To Windows 3.0 with a ram drive to expand internal memory. To Windows 10, my laptop did not qualify for Windows 11. I'm a virgin to Ubuntu, so your Instructional video was spot on ( Excellent ). Thank You!
I was having same problem. Pero hice lo siguiente. 1. Una vez dentro con la version de prueba, procedi a formatear la particion donde queria instalar Ubuntu. 2. Segui los pasos del video. 3. Lo intente muchas veces, pudieron ser 6 veces, hasta que por fin aparecio el boton de siguiente (next). 4. Luego, seguia el proceso pero no lo finalizaba (lo intente otras seis veces). 5. Finalmente en uno de esos intentos por fin se instalo perfectamente. I hope that you get succeful in this procces.
It happened to me too. Fixed it by going through the process without setting any internet connection and skipping the third party software installation.
Im installing it on an external ssd and it crashed after I did everything and clicked install. I went to try again and it no longer has the “install alongside windows” button. Hopefully it did not nuke my Windows
The problem I'm having is that my computer uses UFS and apparently you need additional drivers to boot from UFS, but I have no clue how to do any of that
as I have a main partition and inside that i have ubuntu 20.04 LTS and my complete data can I install 22.04 along side without creating new partition? or if I can create new partition by deleting previous one as you did in the video will my data be erased? Requesting answer!
My laptop has 16gb ssd space that i was able to make partition can i install ubantu in that. Everyone say that you need 25 gb but my ssd allowed me to only take 16gb. Please help
I'm failing to install ubuntu. I have a disk were i created a partition fat32 were i copied all the ISO files and boot with EFI, then i try to install ubuntu in the same disk on the remaining space... is this the cause of the failed instalation? I saw online people doing that if they dont have a usb, they create a partition for it and boot from it... but in my case it complains about some type of loop in mount devices or something...
Thank you so much for this video. One question: I'm wondering why the data partition and the user files are in the same / partition. Before I thought that user files should be stored in an Ext 4 /home partition. (not sure, never done it, but I thought it was possible to reinstall the OS without changing the home partition. Is there a reason fo this?
That's a good question and your thinking is absolutely in the correct direction. I talk about it a bit more here: ruclips.net/video/Pvl3fYusplg/видео.html But generally speaking, you can separate the user files from the OS files - but you don't have to. No "better" option here.
I'm rookie and wanna try ubuntu but I'm stuck in installation part. 1. How if I choose erase disk, will it delete all my drive e.g C, D? I'm excited to install ubuntu but I am afraid to choose installation 😢
i tried the Same and Now I cannot go bacxk to windows??? what Exactly happened??? I was hoping it will work as dual boot but Did it actually flashed my Windows???
I upated on my old laptop from windows 10 to ubuntu 24, after i erase all windows stuff, ubuntu print out a error saying i need to reboot, after reboot i got a screen For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller Check Cable Connection, plz help, i dont know what to do
And partition for home??? Your video is bad because if I have old information from ubuntu 22 in home, when I going to update to ubuntu 24, I will lost my old information from ubuntu 22 in home!!!
I think the person like me. Who is watch on youtube how to install Ubuntu first time. Want to know how to install. In partition side which I only found different then window.. which I what to learn to create partition. I could not understand anything. You did not explain why we creating swap VFAt and what it do? No proper explaination. You just give order do this and it will work for you as it work for me.
linux is kind of complicated. depending on the distro, they change the name of things, so it may be different on other distros and flavors. but basically the swap is a space you set up to be a virtual memory, so that the system uses it to store date about the stuff you have open while using your pc - so that it won't occupy so much physical memory -, then deletes it after you finish the application.
i did this, got error and now i lost my windows. thanks man. so now im stuck in BIOS. what now? how to get back windows? ok when i deleted the partitions, thats where it went wrong. i needed to reinstall windows so you just cost me many hours
Boot/efi 1 gb root create after auto create Swap 4-8gb depends U Root 50 gb enough User 25 gb application Opt 25 gb application Home 100 gb or more applications config or data Daily development user perfect,,,, Gaming or application coding or user ... ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I almost lost my mind trying to do this via documentation.
Your guide is perfectly formatted. Keep it up. Thank you!
I do agree 😉
Perfect!😊
When I tried this, and created the Ext4 partition, the utility also created a 1.13 GB FAT32 partition before it mounted as /boot/efi.
For me the installation with an unmounted and unused VFAT failed. Only after mounting it at /boot/efi installation worked.
I believe that's because you didn't have a 'grub' yet, which is the same as the bootloader on windows.
I'm getting the same thing. Did that work for you?

Did you change the mount point to /boot/efi for the esp ?
This partition you done it's for MBR / GPT ?

How to encrypt _/home_ partition during installation? I was able to do this under Ubuntu 18.04-22.04, but unfortunately not under Ubuntu 24.04.
Great tutorial, clear and concise. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
I wished to thank you for this video.Most of the internet is full of outdated guides but yours wasn't so thanks a lot
You're welcome!
I love your content sir, you helped me to install the Ubuntu os in the system which was stopped due to Bit Locker problems
Glad to hear that
I saved this video, I love this simple and fast explanation! ✨✨✨
Thanks for the feedback!
Good guidance, here. Thank you for your time to share!
Thank you for your comment
It's showing System program problem detected.. Any solution?
It happened to me too. Fixed it by going through the process without setting any internet connection and skipping the third party software installation.
Im installing it on an external ssd and it crashed after I did everything and clicked install. I went to try again and it no longer has the “install alongside windows” button. Hopefully it did not nuke my Windows
Will this take care of any hidden partitions like on a system with a pre-install version of windows, etc. ?
The problem I'm having is that my computer uses UFS and apparently you need additional drivers to boot from UFS, but I have no clue how to do any of that
One great thing about this video…
Straight forward!!! THANKS !
Thank you for your comment👍
Thanks!! this is what i needed to fix my installation problem

And if I don't have the VFAT option, can I choose fat32 instead?
Me too I didn’t find it what should i do ?

I want to make sure none of my perosnal data on the computer js lost while installing linux. Will this help with that?
has anyone got the partition error while trying to install 24?
No
You might be using bios instead of uefi.
Me
No
yeeeeaaaahhh
GOATED explanation
Thank you for your feedback
Thanks for the walkthrough
You helped me get Ubuntu installed!
Take care, 🙏🏼
Great to hear!👍
I'm rookie and wanna try ubuntu but I'm stuck in installation part.
1. How if I choose erase disk, will it delete all my drive e.g C, D?
I'm excited to install ubuntu but I am afraid to choose installation 😢
Windows ‘drives’ can be installed on separate disks or on one common disk. If you erase a disk, all the drives on it will be deleted
is it necessary to create home partition or not?
Thank you it did work for me after searching all over
Glad I could help
Hats off to you Sir !
🙏
Thank you, this was quite useful.
Glad to hear!
i tried the Same and Now I cannot go bacxk to windows??? what Exactly happened??? I was hoping it will work as dual boot but Did it actually flashed my Windows???
Isn't your windows opening
Many Thanks for you! You are awesome!❤
Thanks for your support and kind words!👍
I am trying to install 24 in dual booted PC with Ubuntu 20 and windows,
I want to erase 20 but retain user files is this possible
The VFAT partition is not mounted on any device and, after starting the system, it is available for use as a separate disk. This is not correct.
Hi. I have the same problem. How did you solve it?
@okojana11, use another guide
I'm at windows 7 and want to install linux mint but i want to keep all my personal data and only replace the os
Please guild me through it... 😢
i have problem with setting /boot/efi as first partiton of disk
You are a life saver

If I remove partion by pressing - key what will happen to the data inside it? will it get deleted or not?

I believe that has something to do with the boot priority. try changing it in your BIOS again.
It worked the tutorial, thank you so much
Glad to hear that!
that was very helpful. thank you
Glad to hear that!
can you/someone/anyone make a video about how to install linux with manual partitions on an ssd please? i want an esp, root, swap and home.
It's the same process for an ssd...
thank you sir ,this information is very use full
Glad to hear that
I guess there is no need for a /home partition ?
only if you want to separate the system files from your documents. otherwise, the system uses the rest of the space as an internal /home
