So, problems various (initially self inflicted, with help from HP recovery software) meant a new desktop unit (I won't bore you with the details).
I now know about how it's a nuisance to install a linux distro onto UEFI devices. My brother has configured this to put Kubuntu 18.10 on it (/boot, OS and swap on the SSD, and the /home on the HDD). So happily trying to work out what else it is that I've lost with the disaster of the previous desktop unit.
The worst is likely to be re-ripping about 500 CD's worth of music (yes, I know, I should have had it backed up etc - that's now planned, I'll do that to an external SSD in a housing).
This is likely (to my way of thinking) if I could put all the music in one place, but have both users set up so we can both access it for the music we want to listen to, maybe put on an mp3 player etc - I believe this shouldn't be a problem but I'm not sure of how to achieve this.
I presume that I need a "global" location (directory or whatever I'm supposed to call it ?) so that I can put all the ripped music there. Then I need to work out how to point either user at it ?
Any ideas or suggestions very much appreciated...
