You need to add that to all 3 autostart files (one in each directory). Notice how similar it looks to the script in instruction 1? #VIRTUALBOX 4.2.16 ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK INSTALL#There are 3 folders in Lubuntu 13.04 for different install types they are:Įach of those 3 folders has a text file called autostart.Įdit each of those autostart files and add this to the -output default -primary -mode 640x480 You need to edit some files in: /etc/xdg/lxsession/ Now we need to force the normal X-windows and window managers:.You need to tell lightdm to run that script when it starts:.I created that script while I was elevated to root privilege using: sudo su I did a: chmod 775 vga.sh on that Bash 4 script. I called that vga.sh and put that in: /usr/share/ It is possible on your system that ‘default’ should be something else but let’s hope not. Xrandr -output default -primary -mode 640x480 You need to create a Bash 4 script that looks like this:.I am not going to completely hand hold with this…if you need that let me know: I noticed that the vi(m) editor in my copy of lubuntu is acting strange on this install so I am using nano. So xrandr can set the X-Windows screen resolution from the command prompt. With LXTerminal in the GUI the text is really tiny so I changed the font size to 12 point. Under ‘Preferences’ in ‘Monitor Settings’ I reduced the installation from 1024x768 screen resolution to 640x480.Ĭhromium is still usable (you’ll be scrolling a lot if you don’t adjust the zoom). With Chromium (Internet browser) I consumed 20MB more of physical RAM. With AbiWord (word processor) I consumed a mere additional 7MB of physical RAM. Running ‘Task Manager’ shows 150MB of the 512MB of physical RAM in use during the updates. Java/OpenJDK is not installed by default, but you do get sed and awk (so Java would consume space). I got Perl 5.14.2 and Python 2.7.4 by default just doing the install and no GCC (so that would consume space). Now that Lubuntu is installed without much modification or tweaking…Īt this point it wants to install about 140MB of updates to the 13.04 release (so that will consume space). The guided partitioning left about 42% of the remaining 3.5GB (that’s about 1.4GB free).Ĭhromium works with NAT to my wireless card to my cellular phone hot spot immediately. Therefore I can boot to that virtual CD-ROM by pressing F12 in the Oracle VirtualBox boot screen (BIOS).Īfter installing Lubuntu the guided partitioning put about 500MB of the 4GB virtual drive space into a swap partition. ![]() #VIRTUALBOX 4.2.16 ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX EXTENSION PACK ISO#In my testing outlined below I have created 4GB of virtual internal storage (looks like a hard drive to Lubuntu) and I have mounted the ISO linked above as a virtual machine CD-ROM drive via Oracle VirtualBox. In one case you are installing from the USB flash drive to an internal storage device (so the USB flash drive contains the ISO that would normally be a ‘LiveCD’) in the other Lubuntu runs on the USB drive and there probably is no internal storage (Lubuntu is actually installed on the USB flash drive).Ĭlick the button for “PC 32bit Standard image disk” or use Torrent. Just in case you mean that you don’t just want to install from the USB flash drive, but actually want to use the USB flash drive as the Lubuntu drive, you need to Google the directions for pendrive Lubuntu. If you do mean a plug-In USB flash drive Google the directions to install Lubuntu from a USB flash drive (you can still use the ISO below if you substitute it). I can’t be sure when you say ‘flash drive’ if you mean a plug-in USB flash drive. However the ISO is much larger and this install will take longer. I have yet to have to type a single command at a prompt. So currently I am using the ‘Lubuntu i386 (Intel 386) Alternate Install’ ISO that installs from a TUI, with ext4 file system, guided partitioning, 512MB of RAM onto a 4GB fixed size VMDK virtual disk. I was able to install the frugle hard drive installation by setting a kernel parameter at boot, going directly to a prompt without X-Windows and then doing this a way that from the 1990s might be the normal but that’s a bit too much to lay on you as a student. ![]() I had some interesting issues getting it to install and clearly the process for installing without booting into the GUI mode of the ‘LiveCD’ needs a bit of work. I gave the virtual machine 512MB of my RAM and 4GB of storage on my SATA SSD. I tried installing PuppyLinux in an Oracle VirtualBox VM on my RedHat 6 Workstation Lenovo T61 laptop. However, I don’t have any other monitor that I can use to change the setting to. For everyone who has asked about me not being able to get 640X480 resolution to work, I’m sure I can if I had a bigger monitor to change the settings to in the first place. ![]()
