Wuala slang update#
When it was done, I ran a few commands (somewhat redundant, but worth keeping together, and generally consistent with what appeared to be the best guidance) to update it as needed: sudo apt update On reboot, it said there were upgrades available. When the Lubuntu VM finished installing in VirtualBox, I rebooted the VM as it seemed to desire. Whatever the original issue was, it seemed to be entirely within VMware. The installation finished without any problems. In that process, I chose to create a VMDK rather than the default VDI file. There wasn’t an obvious solution.Īs a partial, temporary workaround, I shut down VMware and created the VM in VirtualBox instead. I ran searches to try to figure out the problem. At one point, the effort took over the host (Windows 10) system’s display - blacking it out and then resizing it to a much coarser resolution. It seemed the problem might be larger than just the Internet connection.
I tried changing the VM’s network settings I tried proceeding through the installation anyway and I also tried installing Lubuntu 21.10 instead. But since I had some other processes running and did not want to interrupt them, I tried some other approaches. The real solution, for me, was simply to reboot the host system. Apparently it was the specific reason why the VM did not satisfy installation requirements. That last line was highlighted in yellow. The system is not connected to the Internet. Installation can continue, but some features might be disabled. This computer does not satisfy some of the recommended requirements for installing Lubuntu 20.04 LTS. It said, “Welcome to the Lubuntu installer.” Then, a moment later, it said this: Its desktop offered an icon, “Install Lubuntu 20.04 LTS.” I double-clicked on that. Istvan Lam, CEO of Tresorit, has also written an interesting blog post detailing a little history of Wuala and the current consumer landscape in secure cloud storage.I was installing Lubuntu in a virtual machine (VM) in VMware Workstation Player. The startup has even developed a tool to help Wuala users transition to its service. Interestingly, the company is also recommending another cloud storage startup with an emphasis on security: Swiss-Hungarian startup Tresorit, which claims to one-up the likes of Dropbox and Box in terms of security and privacy because, similar to Wuala, it employs end-to-end encryption, meaning that you - and only you - have the “keys” needed to access your files.
Wuala slang mac#
The immediate advice to Wuala users is to back up their data stored on the service to a PC, Mac or another cloud storage offering, somewhat ironic considering that the idea of taking out a Wuala account in the first place is that you’d no longer need to worry about backups. Effective Sunday, 15 November 2015, the Wuala cloud service will terminate.

Full account service will continue through 30 September 2015, at which point all active accounts will shift to read-only mode.
In a blog post to customers, Wuala has just announced that it is to shut down.Įffective as of today, you will no longer be able to purchase storage or renew existing accounts. Philippe Spruch, founder and CEO of LaCie, said that the partnership would lead LaCie to transform from a hardware manufacturer to a “digital storage provider”. In fact, at the time the two companies talked up the deal as a “merger” rather than one acquiring the other.
A traditional hardware storage maker picking up an expert in cloud storage software. Despite exiting pretty early instead of scaling to become a leader in the space (in then somewhat typical European style), the deal made a lot of sense. Back in 2009, hardware storage company LaCie acquired Wualu, a Zurich-based startup and pioneer in peer-to-peer cloud storage.
