https://askubuntu.com/questions/491104/all-folders-and-files-in-sd-card-and-usb-drive-appearing-as-locked , trying first with the SDHC drive (sda or sdb or sdc) which you can find with:

fdisk -l

The command

sudo mount --options remount,rw /dev/sdb

Might have to do it not by dev/sda or sdb, but instead by mountpoint https://askubuntu.com/questions/213889/microsd-card-is-set-to-read-only-state-how-can-i-write-data-on-it

sudo mount --options remount,rw /media/username/mountpointofsdcard

But after those attempts, it still said "error taking ownership of filesystem on read-only file system udisk-error-quark", so I tried to reformat it (the files were readable but the disk had become read-only).

lsblk

to view media. Let's say your flashdrive is in 'sda'

fdisk /dev/sda

to wipe it. Enter d for delete, then n for new partition, then p for primary, and hit enter to accept the defaults and type YES

lsblk 

to look again. Now you have a sda1

cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1

to encrypt it. Select a password for it

cryptsetup open /dev/sda1 drive

to open it and name it, for the time being, 'drive'. Enter the same password you gave it

lsblk

and you should see 'drive' there

mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/drive

to make a filesystem on it (because it doesn't have one yet). it'll auto be on mapper. It'll take some seconds or a minute

mount /dev/mapper/drive /mnt/

to mount it (to mnt for the time being)

# BEFORE YOU RUN THE SCRIPT, you need to make it executable. Open a Terminal in the same folder as this file, and do:
# chmod +x setup_script.sh
Now you can run the script using the following command:
# ./setup_script.sh

# the backslash (\) at the end of each line indicates that the command continues on the next line. This makes the script more readable and avoids syntax errors.

X1 Carbon sucks:

• no sd slot, not SD or microSD. Nothing.
• didn't come with touch screen
• kind of buggy with screenlocks. Have to restart a lot.
• comes with Thinkpad Startup BIOS which has a lot of options you need to turn off (including a lot of Windows things)
• doesn't seem too much faster for most tasks. Video render is like 3 or 4x faster, which seems to reflect the same PCbenchmark score difference.

X1 Good:

• smaller and lighter
• larger screen, kind of squarer

OS

Had to use 22.4 Kali because 22.3 didn't have drivers for wifi. 22.4 was fine though. However, on 22.4 Virtualbox work right away, but did work eventually (QEMU did work but can't share folders with Windows and didn't figure out how to share with LinuxGuest).
