I added xorg, openbox and lxqt, and latter mate to my ubuntu 18.04 vagrant box to create lighweight gui experience. After restarting box, VirtualBox window popped up with invite to select a user and enter a password but there is no user to choose (by default all vagrant boxes have a vagrant user)
I can add another user, but would prefer to use the 'vagrant' user, as some software is installed in his home dir /home/vagrant
How to log in as vagrant via GUI?
I would like to scp some large files from my lubuntu laptop to windows desktop. The ip address retrieved with ip -a command however only allows me connect from the laptop to itself. Router or modem is Technicolor tg558v, provider Carrytel (probably Bell reseller). Probably dynamic ip.
Workarounds that I am aware. I know I can buy a portable drive but would prefer a free solution. Fallback I am aware is Google Drive which is fine to pass smaller files (below 15G) or file chunks, but hope that scp or rsync could be faster/more convenient. Model/router is technicolor, both have wifi albeit slower than wired connection.
Is there a way to increase the amount of inotify watchers without having admin privileges?
In worst case, with apt-get?
I am not admin, but have sudo apt-get install permissions.
Is it possible to install perl to /usr/local/bin without full sudo permissions
namely only sudo apt install ... being allowed.
I have a DVD with a software, using /usr/local/bin/perl in shebang, variables, paths etc. Yet on my machine perl is in /usr/bin .
I am not admin on my machine. I asked IT to
to create copy or link to perl file ( sudo ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl) yet it might take time. Is there other way?
I have no admin/sudo permissions but allowed to install soft using standard package manager apt .
Perl 5.22 but close version would probably do, Ubuntu 16.04
Update 1. As recommended in answers I run a replace on a copy of the soft. I though installed and used designated text replacement command rpl. Still curios are there other solution e.g. is it possible to compile perl into .deb package that I can installs into desired folder with apt install.
Update 2. IT helpdesk created links for me, can run scripts now.
