Posting code in WordPress

You can use the HTML pre tags around the code in the Text mode (aka the source mode).

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Prints "Hello, World" to the terminal window.
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }

}

You can use the WordPress code tag. You can read about that at https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }

}

Installing Chrome on Lubuntu

Since Chrome provides a Debian package, you can do:

s@s-Lubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb 
[sudo] password for s:

That didn’t work since dpkg can’t install dependencies. So I tried using apt.

s@s-Lubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 google-chrome-stable : Depends: gconf-service
                        Depends: libgconf-2-4 (>= 3.2.5) but it is not installed
                        Depends: fonts-liberation but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Now using the –fix-broken option

Virtualbox and Windows 7 Sleep issues

I got Virtualbox Version 5.1.28 r117968 (Qt5.6.2), running in Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as a guest in Vb. Works great but doesn’t let Windows go to sleep after the sleep timeout. I can put Windows to sleep manually but Windows cannot go to sleep on its own when Ubuntu is running in Vb. Any clues on how to fix this? I like to save power and want Windows to go to sleep on its own if a user forgets to put it to sleep manually.

So I switched to Vmware Player and the sleep works fine. Even the volume keys work in the guest OS (Lubuntu).

Vmware tools installation from Vmware Player CD load didn’t work. You can check by doing this:
s@s-Lubuntu:~$ /etc/init.d/vmware-tools status
vmware-guestd is not running

So install open-vm-tools instead. Here is the command for that:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop

More on that command here:
