Needed BitLocker recovery key
Needed BitLocker recovery key
Hey! I’ll get straight to the main issue. I’m trying to dual boot my laptop with Kubuntu but facing a few challenges. Here’s what’s happening:
1) The D drive can’t be accessed without the recovery password, so I’m worried about removing that protection.
2) After booting from Windows on Linux, the time settings change unexpectedly.
3) The scaling for my logging display manager (sddm) is stuck at 100%, but I need it set to 200%.
Anyone have suggestions or solutions for these problems? Thanks!
1: It seems BitLocker and dual booting might not work well together. You should right-click the drive in Windows and select "Manage BitLocker" to turn it off.
2: Timezone handling between Windows and Linux can cause issues with BIOS time. You can adjust settings in Linux to fix this problem. https://itsfoss.com/wrong-time-dual-boot/
3: For scaling, this is the most helpful resource I found, though I haven’t adjusted it myself. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#DPI_settings

Perhaps it's just because I'm primarily a Linux user, but I blame Windows for the problem, and there is a registry key you can set in Windows to use UTC, and it will "fix" the issue as well. Just another option.
