Virtual Machines -- Part 2

Yesterday I left my computer running overnight in my second or maybe third attempt at installing Parrot OS on a virtual computer. The thing is, when I came this morning, it had failed. Again.

So after trying like one or two more times, I gave up and downloaded another version: the security version, since I was using the cloud version or something. This time, it not only booted up but went through the entire installation smoothly. Then, in the end, it said to restart the device to reload it. So I did.

And now, it asks me to install it again.

This blog wasn't originally meant for ranting, but that's all that I seem to be doing nowadays. Nothing seems to be working. I think that the last thing linux installation-related thing that actually worked was the installation of Ubuntu natively on an old computer. And that was after I tried hacking into it for hours with the command prompt.

The installation is currently at 6% and I'm trying not to pull my hair.

EDIT: The installation is now at 14%.

EDIT: IT RESTARTED AGAIN AND NOW I HAVE TO DO THE INSTALLATION A THIRD TIME AAAAAAAHAHAHGHGHHGHGHGHGH!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I think I'll just keep it on live mode or whatever you call it. I'm tired.

EDIT: NO! I MUST PERSEVERE! ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY WON'T SAVE MY FILES OTHERWISE BECAUSE IT'S ON LIVE MODE! I WILL PROBABLY FAIL ANYWAY!

EDIT: It failed. Trying again on another mode!

EDIT: It was weird and the screen was square and small. I couldn't click the install button. Oh, well, if I leave it on live mode but suspend it, my changes aren't lost. Good for now.

Where I've Been

Hey guys! Sorry for ghosting you all. (Even though literally no one reads this blog.) I've been busy with school and such things. Anyway, I've expanded my interest to include Linux and networking. I've also been taking apart old electronics, so I would say that I've been leaning more toward the hardware side of things lately.  Anyway, I'm a week away from finishing Python in Motion, an online course offered by Carleton University. Though I'm eager to receive my certificate, it was great going through that course, and I learned quite a bit.  Anyway, I'm hoping to start blogging about my projects soon. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, so it's a little hard to stick with one for long since I have a whole plethora of interests.

Dual Booting Ubuntu and Kali Linux

Remember that blog post I made about virtual machines? Well, turns out that wasn't enough.  Now I'm trying to dual-boot it. And for some reason, it's failing at the software selection like last time. Ugh.  (Later) Okay. So I deselected both the "Top 10 tools" and the "default tools" and now it works. Now I will have to install them manually but at least it's installing. Now I just hope that the boot loader will load when I turn it on like in Carleton University.  Oh, yeah. I have summer camp tomorrow.  (Later)  I just installed the GRUB boot loader so that I can choose OSes at the beginning, and had to choose my primary drive. I hope I chose the right one... There were only two options, and the other looked like my USB drive. (Later) It's booting into Ubuntu right now. Kali works and I hope that I didn't break Ubuntu. It's taking a long time to load. Oh, look, it just loaded, and my user shows up.  (FINALLY, AT THE END) It works!!!
