-Logging into Desktop GUI only gives a blank screen: 
-  * Tried updating VirtualBox Guest Additions to v5.2-5.2.24 but no change 
-  * Tried updating packages using commands below 
- 
-Use these commands to update packages, as it allows interactive use to answer questions: 
-<code> 
-sudo apt update 
-sudo apt upgrade 
-</code> 
- 
-Very slow using Ubuntu GUI now - check [[https://thomas.vanhoutte.be/miniblog/guide-speed-up-ubuntu-virtualbox/|Speeding up Ubuntu]] 
- 
-Installing mysql: 
- 
-<code> 
-sudo apt install mysql-client-core-5.7    
-sudo apt install mysql-server 
-sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation 
-</code> 
- 
-Then login like this: 
-  sudo mysql -u root -p 
-   
-Login with a non-root user like this: 
-  mysql -u username -p 
-   
-See notes at [[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-18-04]] for setting up a new user 
- 
-Other SQL commands/testing: 
- 
- 
-  CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; 
-  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; 
-  CREATE DATABASE dbname; 
-  SET PASSWORD FOR 'username'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password'); 
-   
-   
-To fix this locale error upon login: 
- 
-<code> 
--bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US) 
-</code> 
- 
-run the following: 
-   
-  sudo locale-gen en_US 
-  locale -a
