Quicken behaved itself fine from the start, but I had to revisit the setup of some of my keyboard shortcuts. Then I set up Quicken and moved a compressed copy of the data file via a thumb drive. I re-downloaded and properly installed Parallels Tools, got it configured right. Tech support alerted me to my problem though not the exact solution. Overall, I think the help file for installing Mojave via Parallels was the easiest to execute. I did have a problem and used the 24/7 live tech support on Sunday afternoon. I decided that the cost of paying for Parallels was worth it. That in turn allowed me to set up Quicken Mac 2007 16.2.4 (build 25.686.100). I went with Parallels to host my virtual machine running Mojave. Notice the desktop is higher in resolution and display settings exhibit the full range of resolutions to choose from.Today I finally set up my new iMac running Catalina. Select "Try Ubuntu" so a live instance of Ubuntu is booted up. The Ubuntu install iso contains the Gparted app which can be launched after the image boots to the desktop. Have run into issues even with that process in the past that would sometimes break something.īelow is a screen shot of what my Ubuntu desktop looked like after using the Ubuntu install iso to expand my primary Linux partition. I do this frequently, even when updating Ubuntu with a new Linux kernel for instance. NOTE: I copied the VM file and renamed it as a backup before making changes with Gparted to the original VM.xrandr did not if I used the Gparted Live iso. "xrandr" command line output in a terminal window displayed the same resolution values as before making my changes with Gparted.Voila! Once I logged in to the desktop, I was able to adequately resize the resolution of the Ubuntu VM desktop by stretching the window with the mouse or by changing to a familiar high resolution in Ubuntu display settings.In the VM settings options, I changed the startup disk back to the VM hard drive and restarted the Ubuntu VM.I applied the changes I made, closed Gparted and shutdown Ubuntu.Once I got to the Ubuntu desktop and opened the Gparted GUI app, I first turned the swap partition OFF to UNLOCK the partitions and I performed the changes I wanted to make.This made the difference that resolved my Ubuntu desktop resolution issue. Instead of using the Gparted LiveCD iso to change my Linux partitions, I booted from the Ubuntu 14.04.4 install iso selecting the live instance which loaded the familiar Ubuntu desktop.Also notice the display settings exhibiting very low resolutions to choose from. Notice the black space above and below the desktop. VM OS: Linux Ubuntu 14.04.4 4.2.0-34-generic 64bitīelow is a screen shot of what my Ubuntu desktop looked like after using the Gparted LiveCD iso to expand my primary Linux partition.Host OS: MacOSX El Capitan Version 10.11.3.Hardware: iMac (27-in, Late 2012) 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 24 GB DDR3, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB.Then I'll answer again a bit later with some screenshot images illustrating the uniqueness of the problem. However upon subsequently rebooting into Ubuntu from the VM hard drive, I lost the ability to RESIZE my Ubuntu desktop in VM Fusion to any RESOLUTION like I was able to prior to running Gparted.ĬAVEAT: I believe I solved a unique chain of annoying problems to resolve my issue and want to share immediately with a short "text only" answer. ISSUE: I'm operating Ubuntu Linux 14.04.4 in VM Fusion on my iMac and successfully used the latest Gparted LiveCD ISO to allocate more disk space to my main Linux partition.
