- amts 4y agoWhat's the point of mounting to another computer, if it is a laptop Ubuntu (with dual boot with Windows 8) and Ubuntu partition can be remounted with write permission in GRUB?
- amts 4y agoI am actually interested why a working Ubuntu 18 password, although with user apps/Desktop locked under passphrase, after a relatively long period of non-usage stopped working. It was a sort of simple password and entering it was easy, so probability of multiple incorrect attempts should have been low. Are there some default values of incorrect password attempts/periods of non-usage etc upon installation or anything else?
