Shared folders work poorly for any but the simplest cases.
See thread:

for some of the issues.
I have used NFS with OSS Virtualbox since...

ha, once you know how to properly formulate the question,
you may find the answer.

The solution is here:...

Today virtualbox upgraded from 5.2.18 to 5.2.32.

As part of this upgrade, the kernel drivers were deleted from all 4 kernels in my system,


then only rebuilt for the latest kernel:


So...

yes, about to, just wanted to see if you had any comment first.
Thanks for your help.
Answering your questions got us to the answer.

In fact that may be the answer.
Just checked the dependencies
Output of

aptitude show system76-driver



So, it seems an update to the system76 driver caused the install of the hwe kernel....

No, I did not have any problem
that caused me to manually install the hwe kernel.
Most of my problems get solved by coffee, not kernels.

This is...

However, if you manually control your fans, you need to watch the cpu temp.
I have had overheating shudowns on Kubuntu 14.04 running hte HWE kernel with the first version of the OryxPro.

Thanks for the fast response.

I installed the original 18.04, from the xubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso medium
though over time it has upgraded to 18.04.2.
From lsb_release -a

Replying late to this - just saw it.

I have a Apple 27" LED display (2560x 1440) connected to a Galago UltraPro (Galu1).

It is connected to the miniDP connector...

(thanks for moving this to the right place)

One key tip I forgot:

were missing many icons for kde programs,
so...

Actually in 18.04 it is now in the main repos,
though of course there is a slightly later vsn in a ppa.
I use the ppa version.

I moved from Dropbox to Syncthing in 2016, happy with it.

A pool of mostly long-time users disillusioned with KDE,
are looking to move from Kubuntu to Xubuntu.

For those such as myself who had been using...

great, thanks kazakore, a lot of useful information in the post.
But also quite complex: will get to it on the weekend.
Theming and window management are the only things I miss from kde in xfce.

no problem, I think openvpn is likely a simple case of running as a daemon or non-daemon process.
ufw was the greater mystery.
So I'll close this as solved.

ah, excellent, clear explanation. Thanks very much steeldriver.

What about openvpn: do you know the difference between running it as a program

2. I hate unreadable menus and ugly windows).
