Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Installation of WattOS R10 in VirtualBox
« on: November 10, 2016, 12:02:33 PM »
Thanks a lot for the solution. I had another way of doing it but yours is better because it stays with the official repos. I added a PPA for VLC and I downloaded a tarball from the official site of LibreOffice. I extracted what was in the tarball. I changed the directory to go in the DEBS folder and I used dpkg -i for all the .deb files in the DEBS folder.
VLC and LibreOffice are now installed and run fine.
But for a newbie I have serious doubts.
Anyway I'm going to edit the post as solved.
Best regards,

VLC and LibreOffice are very common programs and plenty of people would like to have them installed. On Lubuntu 16.10 these programs are not installed by default but if you install them either with the cli or with Synaptic there are no problems at all.
So if a newbie is interested in those programs and has WattOS as his OS he is going to be frustrated. This is not ideal. The programs people frequently want to install should be available without any problem. I can understand and accept you are unable to install a rare or weird program but not the two aforementioned.
Now, if you spend time on Google there is a solution for both of them but you cannot ask a newbie to do that. "Simple" programs should be simple to install.
What do you think ?

Hello !
I had several problems trying to install WattOS R10 in VirtualBox. The graphic drivers went wrong and this was resolved by CTRL right + F1 followed by CTRL right + F7. I always had the message that the installer had crashed and the message of the bug report was that it was not an Ubuntu package. I checked the MD5 sums and they matched. I then tried to reinstall immediately WattOS after the bug report and when the screen asking me what install I would do I had the choice of installing WattOS next to Ubuntu 16.04 !!! I opted for that one and then the window announcing that the installation completed successfully became frozen. I had to power off the virtual machine and then I could reboot and it went OK.
I think the scripts included in the iso should be revised. There are too many bugs and I am convinced that a newbie would not be able to cope with these problems.
Otherwise it is light and has enough stuff for the people who are mainly surfing on the web.
I send you a text file of /var/log/installer/debug in attachment.
Best regards,
Pourpier 
SOLVED  :)
