Migrate a dual-boot (Windows 11 + Ubuntu 22.04) Surface Pro 6 to a new Surface Pro 9

Both Surface Pro 6 and Surface Pro 9 have 520 TB SSD hard drives.

Goal: Use Clonezilla to copy/image 3 Ubuntu partitions of the old Surface Pro 6 (/dev/nvme0n1p4, /dev/nvme0n1p5, /dev/nvme0n1p7) to the new Surface Pro 9 system.

The Surface Pro 9 Windows system was set up with the Windows 11 that came with the new computer. I only wanted to clone the Ubuntu 22.04 to avoid setting up the development environment again.

1. On old Surface Pro 6:

    Clonezilla:

• Press Power + Volume Down button to start from the USB. Choose large VGA + to RAM option.
• Selected /dev/nvme0n1p4, /dev/nvme0n1p5, /dev/nvme0n1p7 to clone and saved to a 2TB HDD.

2. On new Surface Pro 9:

• Windows 11: EaseUS Partition Master Free tool to shrink the SSD to allocate 200500 MB free space for Ubuntu.
• Power+VolumeDown boot from the Boot Repair Disk. Use GParted tool to create 3 partitions: /dev/nvme0n1p5 (ex4, 1024 MB), /dev/nvme0n1p6 (ex4), /dev/nvme0n1p7 (linux-swap, 20480 MB).
• Edit the saved backup/image on the 2TB HDD. Change all files names: *p4* -> *p5*, *p5* -> *p6* and the parts file content to: nvme0n1p5, nvme0n1p6, nvme0n1p7

 

Clonezilla:

• Start from USB
• Follow the instructions of Clonezilla to restore 3 partitions.

 

Boot Repair Disk:

• Boot from the USB 
• Follow the instructions to repair the boot

• Windows 11: Start PowerShell in Admin mode and run: bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

• Reboot and the Grub selection menu should show. Choose Ubuntu as the option to start the system.
• The Ubuntu system won't start. Reboot and enter the recovery mode. In the recovery mode:
• sudo apt remove lightdm
• nmtui to connect to the WIF
• sudo apt install gdm3
• sudo reboot
• The dualboot should be set up successfully now.

使用TUN模式：

dns:

  enable: true

  enhanced-mode: fake-ip

  nameserver:

    - 8.8.8.8

    - 8.8.4.4

  fallback: []

  fake-ip-filter:

    - +.stun.*.*

    - +.stun.*.*.*

    - +.stun.*.*.*.*

    - +.stun.*.*.*.*.*

    - +.stun.playstation.net

    - xbox.*.*.microsoft.com

    - "*.*.xboxlive.com"

    - "*.msftncsi.com"

    - "*.msftconnecttest.com"

    - WORKGROUP

tun:

  enable: true

  stack: system

  auto-route: true

  auto-detect-interface: true

  dns-hijack:

    - any:53

用TUN模式要把文件C:\Program Files\Clash.for.Windows-0.20.11-win\resources\static\files\win\x64\clash-win64.exe加到防火墙 允许的应用(搜索允许。。。）

(不推荐使用System Proxy模式，如果用了的话：) bypass setting (在Clash app settings里面设置，不是配置文件！！)

Setup OpenVPN server on AWS 翻墙

GFW可以很容易检测到OpenVPN，封锁端口，一般只能用一天就不能用了。所以这种办法还是不要用了。应该使用trojan：GitHub - trojan-gfw/trojan: An unidentifiable mechanism that helps you bypass GFW.

1. Find a region that's close to you. Launch an EC2 machine, search for an OpenVPN image from the market place. Choose the Bring Your Own License option

2. Mostly follow this site: How to create a free VPN server on AWS | by Israel Aminu | Towards Data Science

3. After you can login to the Admin page, make the following changes:

1) In the VPN Settings, Routing, Should VPN clients have access to private subnets (non-public networks on the server side)? -> Yes using Routing

2) DNS Settings, Have clients use specific DNS servers. Yes, Primary DNS Server->8.8.8.8, Secondary DNS Server->8.8.4.4

3) Change Server Network Settings, VPN Server | Hostname or IP Address: -> public IP address of the server 

 

4. Unlimited hack: ✔️ Remove restrictions from OpenVPN Access Server | RuCore.NET - English Version or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wp3h1VBJUY7eaLuUtMewbP1iS-tEGNbf/view?usp=sharing  

 

Firefox: weird characters showing for some fonts on the SharePoint websites.

If the webpage shows weird characters for some icons with Firefox, it means some fonts couldn't be downloaded successfully. Use the following steps to fix:

Go into about:config and change network.http.referer.defaultPolicy and network.http.referer.defaultPolicy.pbmode from 2 ( strict-origin-when-cross-origin ) to 3 ( no-referrer-when-downgrade , used to be the old default ) 

Windows Virtual Desktop / Session / Workspace

 This program was made for people who are using Windows 10's built-in Virtual Desktops, but who don't like the default key-binding, don't like how you can't cycle through your desktops (If you are on your last one you don't want to hotkey over to the first one 8 times), and don't like not knowing what desktop # they are on.
