Kali Linux Copy And Paste Problem:
So I've been having this problem so much its became a huge pain, it gets aggravating having to type out such long sentences from my host computer without being able to copy and paste from it, I've tried everything I could find online and I mean everything and none of the solutions seemed to work, I even tried downloading Kali Linux on a Virtual Machine instead of a Virtual Box (Which was a nightmare to setup for me) and it along with a bunch of other features didn't work either (Probably because I'm not good with setting it up), but I didn't care because I mainly wanted it to work on my Virtual Box, I noticed something today though after I reinstalled Kali Linux for my Virtual Box (I figured reinstalling it would do the trick) and it kind of did, at least until i did "sudo apt-get upgrade" then the copy and paste feature stopped working, I've spent awhile dealing with this but I'm fed up, please do your best and leave some ideas, anything, I really just want this to work. Thanks.
Other Infromation:
• I'm running the latest version of Oracle V Virtual Box 64-Bit: 6.1.4 https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.4/VirtualBox-6.1.4-136177-Win.exe
• I've downloaded Kali Linux Virtual Box 64-Bit: Version 2020.1 https://images.offensive-security.com/virtual-images/kali-linux-2020.1-vbox-amd64.ova
• I'm running **Windows 10 Latest Version*
Copy & paste is broken in the Guest Additions 6.1.4 r136177. Either downgrade the Guest Additions or install
the 6.1.5 test build of the Guest Additions.

I made a mistake during the installation of Debian 11. My plan was to run Debian next to Win10 by using Grub2 but installed Debian high secure LVM which overwrote my notebook's complete Harddisk. I am completely new to Linux so as you can imagine I struggle hard because I only have a "DOS-style-Terminal". The Debian 11 .iso ist only 3xx mb large and I wonder if i am able to install Gnome from the given Terminal. Some sources mentioned Gnome could be part of the .iso .Is it true? Do I have a chance to process? If not I concidered to add a folder on the bootable USB stick, add something like "gnome.deb" and try to progress this way. I dont have internet in my Asus Vivobook model M712D because of missing"RTW88......" which makes my situation even worse but can access the internet by my Smartphone. In the end I want to install vscode to progress at www.freecodecamp.org using Debian instead of Kali for advanced Linux learning and future operations. I am sure this is a topic to discuss, I cant imagine I am the only one struggling on this issue. Many Windows user gets prevented from using linux by this issue .
The small size of the image indicates that you probably used the Network Install image. This minimal image does not feature desktop environments. Your options are:
Download an image that features a desktop environment (complete installation image, see here) and reinstall Debian using this image.
Install the desktop environment yourself. To do that, you could try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install task-gnome-desktop. This, however requires an internet connection.

What's the difference between
1.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to KDE or direct installing kubuntu
2.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to XFCE or direct installing xubuntu
3.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to LXDE or direct installing lubuntu
4.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to mate or direct installing Ubuntu mate
5.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to gnome or direct installing gubuntu
Please help... I am confused..
They're all Ubuntu-based distros with different tweaks. Each distro runs on the same Linux kernel, so they're the really same for most intents and purposes. The obvious difference, as you have stated, is the desktop manager installed on each one, so a different look and feel. However, each of them also comes with different packages pre-installed. Each distro may ship with different video viewers, photo viewers, email clients, photo editors, and so on.
Each one will also consume different amounts of RAM, CPU, and power.
For more information, this post has very good tables and graphs to compare the distros: http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com/2014/11/ubuntu-1410-vs-kubuntu-1410-vs-xubuntu.html
This question should probably be asked on https://askubuntu.com/ but i'll answer it anyway. When installing Ubuntu you are greeted with a unity desktop meaning that all the unity package dependencies have been installed. If you were to install KDE on ubuntu (which is totally fine) you would still be left with unity desktop installed on your system. This is not ideal for computers with low storage or resources which is why different flavours of ubuntu have been released, aka kubuntu, ubuntu MATE. When installed these operating systems will only include the packages needed to run their own desktop (among other things like apt)

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm new to LXC and I may have some problems getting the right idea of how the things should work. The thing is I'm trying to start a previously download vagrant-lxc box that holds an Ubuntu 12.04 x32. My development PC is running Ubuntu 13.10 x64 and lxc 1.0.0.alpha1 installed from the Ubuntu official repositories.
When I run vagrant up --provider=lxc I'm always getting
There was an error executing ["sudo", "lxc-create",
"--template", "vagrant-tmp-lxc-test_default-1393431786",
"--name", "lxc-test_default-1393431786",
"-f", "/home/ccvera/.vagrant.d/boxes/lxc-ubuntu-12.04/lxc/lxc.conf",
"--", "--tarball", "/home/ccvera/.vagrant.d/boxes/lxc-ubuntu-12.04/lxc/rootfs.tar.gz",
"--auth-key", "/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.3.5/keys/vagrant.pub"]
I might be making a dumb error here so my questions are:
Is there any problem running a box of x32 container inside a x64 host using LXC?
Is there any problem running a box with a different Ubuntu version (Kernel version) that the host machine does? In may case (Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 2.6) vs Ubuntu 13.10 (kernel 3.11))
In the case that 1, 2 do not apply, then, how can I figure out what's the problem? prepending VAGRANT_LOG=DEBUG didn't make the trick, it just shows the above errors many times.
In the case that 1 or 2 do apply, then, how can I overcome the situation?, I need fast and well performance on test virtual machines, (so I think I need containers), but it is not feasible to me that the developers should have the same OS as the testing VMs
Updating to newer versions of lxc and vagrant-lxc did the trick.
And after some reading is seems that x32 box runs under x64 host kernel so it becomes on a x64 box, that's the idea of containers.

I am a Windows 7 user and now I want to use linux. However I am beginner for linux. Currently I have linux mint in a usb and load it from there. The problem is, it doesn't save stuff like everytime I have to enter my wifi password, or change the default search to google, etc etc. Now I am thinking of installing ubuntu alongside windows. Now after googling a little I realized that I can do it in 2 ways: Using a windows installer, or Using something called a virtual box. My question is, which option should I choose and why? What is a virtual box anyway? Also, is this the right link? I need the 64 bit version. Shall I choose the first one?
virtual box allows you to run an OS over the one you are currently working in. You must download virtual box for windows those links are for linux,ubuntu etc.. You might wanna use http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.3.6/VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-Win.exe link instead.
The issue with a virtual machine is that it is running your native OS and another "virtual" OS; as you can imagine, this can be slow. Booting up your virtual OS also takes longer seeing as you functionally need to boot two OSs rather than one.
In terms of dual booting (installing an OS alongside your native OS -- in this case Windows), the resultant OS typically will run faster and won't be bogged down as much. If you have a lot of RAM you might not notice the speed loss though. That being said, it is much easier to install multiple virtual machines than it is to install multiple OSs; your hard drive won't be chaotically partitioned since virtual machines don't need separate partitions.

I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04.2 LTE. I have a lunovo ideapad with windows 8. I have followed all necessary steps flawlessly, and even factory reset my laptop to make this smoother. I get this error when trying to boot and install ubuntu. I also get it if i try to run ubuntu without installing. Also I tried re-downloading ubuntu, and remounting on my usb with the universal usb installer.
Is this error due to my computer, or the ubs/unbuntu? There was another option in the boot menu. It was check disk for error. I do not know if it was checking disk as in the iso disk or my hard drive, but a ubuntu lunch screen appeared and it was looking into some ubuntu files (on the usb), when it was done it said there was 2 errors. It did not say what kind or if it repaired it , or how to repair it. It only gave me the option to exit, then lunovo boot screen appeared and it stayed in a attempting to repair loop for quite a awhile so I gave up on that and shut down.
I would ask this in ask ubuntu, but I do not have enough "respect points" to upload an image.
Major respect to anyone who can help me out, I have been to get ubuntu for 2 days now, and I hit a dead end.
This error message can appears in those cases:
1. Your hardware it not compatible, usually ACPI issue. Try to boot with additional options: "noapic" and/or "acpi=off". You should be able to set parameters in "Other options" [F6 key].
2. Your RAM is broken. Check it in "Test memory" option.
