The Ubuntu update is still in progress.

     It is taking longer than it should have first because it wanted more memory than it had, and second because in my attempt to fix that I actually read the manual for virsh, and it said that the default unit was kilobytes and not thinking I thought ah 4096kb = 4gb, actually 4096mb = 4gb so I think you can probably deduce what happened.

     So I exploded it trying to make modern Linux run in 4MB, (ain’t gonna happen) and had to run dpkg –configure -a, and that blew up because of some missing dependencies, which have been resolved so it’s running now but going to take a while.

     A reboot will still be necessary when it is all done and in the meantime there are probably some things not working.
