I've implemented a Vagrantfile to set up a (mostly) functional Ubuntu 24.04 desktop environment for testing

Buo-Ren_Lin · October 30, 2024, 11:43am

This implementation optimizes the boot speed and fixes several issues that may occur while building a similar test VM:

Disable features that are not useful in the virtual machine use case (suspend, user authentications, and lock screens).
Workaround known bugs in the VirtualBox guest drivers.
Reduced boot time by optimizing VM configurations.
Improved default console size and aspect ratio.
Suppress unnecessary input-capturing warning user interfaces.
Include common Vagrantfile template configuration for further customizations.

I would like to express our gratitude to Yoshimasa Niwa, who implemented and published the original implementation.

Feel free to check it out!

Hi there! So, unlike snap, this is a Desktop item, so I’m moving it to the Desktop category.

Thanks!

Oh wow, this looks awesome at first glance. I’ve never used Vagrant before, I’ll have to check it out when I find the time!
