[nmglug] Up and running

[Brian O'Keefe]

Hello All,

So all seems well with my 18.04 install except for one thing (maybe) and 
I'll bring that up at the meeting. But as Data said, "I am fully 
functional."

I installed the latest Debian as a VM in VBox then upgraded it to the 
next version, 10 or "Buster". Never got it to full screen mode even 
after installing guest additions and adding to grub file for correct 
screen resolution. I couldn't choose resolution in Display as the 
default, wrong, was the only choice. I then installed the next version, 
11- "Bullseye" but had the same problem. I then figured that the OS was 
way ahead of the repository versions of Guest Additions so I downloaded 
and added the newer version to the machine storage and voila! full 
screen mode of Debian Buster. It all seems stable enough for play time 
and the change log isn't too exciting. I'll show that VM at the meeting 
too if anyone is interested. Stayed with the two Debian repositories but 
can add non or semi proprietary stuff. Who knows

Brian
