Copying partition is straightforward. Made using gparted. Create bootable USB stick (Startup disk creator in Linux mint), boot from it. Assume we have following partitions: boot /sdb1 (don't really know how it works) root /sdb2 home /sdb3 Do sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ## if you have boot partition: # sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda Source of GRUB instructions
create a file .inputrc in your home directory and put there "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward set show-all-if-ambiguous on set completion-ignore-case on # display possible completions using different colors to indicate their file types set colored-stats On TAB: menu-complete Restart your terminal. Now you can autocomplete from history using Up and Down keys. Source

After installing ubuntu 14.04 I found hibernation was disabled. It was deleted from system menu at all. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-14-04/ Only Suspend option was there. Suspend didn’t work either. Computer couldn’t wake up. It actually woke up, but stayed freezed displaying wallpaper. Some googling and testing with other hibernation modules (tuxonice), swap settings gave no result. I decided to install mint Linux as it has hibernation option by default. In mint Linux the situation was the same except I hadn’t to enable hibernate option myself....
