Notes about Lubuntu 22.04 LTS
VirtualBox Setup
I usually run my Linux boxes as VirtualBox guests.
Kernel 5.15 requires VirtualBox 6.1.28 or better.
- Display > Video Memory > 128 MB
- View > Auto-resize Guest Display > enabled
Install VirtualBox guest additions:
# Install software required to compile additions sudo apt install -y gcc make # mount additions CD # VirtualBox Menu > Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image ... cd /media/jani/VBox_GAs_6.1.34 sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run sudo reboot
Give an user access to shared folders:
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf <USER> # logout required
BE EXTRA CAREFUL TO USE -A FLAG OR YOU'LL REMOVE THE USER FROM THE SUDO GROUP. YOU CAN ADD IT BACK ONLY IN RECOVERY MODE, BUT THAT'S A BIT HARD TO BOOT IN VIRTUALBOX.
apt
# upgrade all installed packages sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable sudo apt upgrade
snap
# list all updateable packages snap refresh --list # update all updateable packages sudo snap refresh
Alternatives System
update-alternatives --display <LINK_GROUP> update-alternatives --list <LINK_GROUP> sudo update-alternatives --config <LINK_GROUP>
AWK
Lubuntu has mawk
by default (i.e. awk
points to mawk
). Install GNU AWK manually:
sudo apt install gawk
This also sets the default awk
to gawk
. Use alternatives system to change the default.
