DO THINGS
- Time zone: cuba, or Latin American countries are listed like 'Americas/CountryName'
- Power Manager (otherwise it will dim after 120seconds): Keep screen from locking:
- Top-left menu > Settings > Power Manager > (fourth tab) Security > Automatically lock: Never, and uncheck []Lock screen when system is going to sleep
- in Power Settings, you have to click the top buttons for ‘plugged in’ and ‘on battery’ and do both
- Menu > Keyboard > Layout, unlock the Default settings and +add Spanish, and set a ‘Change layout option.' I selected Ctrl-shift to change language input
- Disable login screen. Didn't find a way.

INSTALL QEMU ON KALI
https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-qemu-guest-vm/
sudo apt update && sudo apt install virt-manager -y
Then (on next boot, although everything works on current session), maybe you get an Error starting domain. Requested operation is not valied. Network ‘default’ is not active.
(To fix do in Terminal
sudo virsh net-start default
But) to ensure ‘default’ starts after system reboot, do
sudo virsh net-autostart default
QEMU SHARED FOLDERS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE7_isunZA8 or his blog https://absprog.com/post/qemu-kvm-shared-folder
- First, in Terminal (in Host)
sudo apt install virtiofsd
- Turn off the VM
- Memory > (check) Enable Shared Memory
- Click Add Hardware > Filesystem. Driver: Virtiofs. Browse the folder on the Host Machine. Target Path: any name, it's just a label, and we'll pick ‘WhatYouCalledIt’
- Click ‘Finish’.
- Open the VM.
- Mount the shared folder inside the VM.
- First create a mount point anywhere. Just make a folder wherever you want it to be in the VM.
- Open /etc/fstab
- Add the following line at the end of that file:
WhatYouCalledIt /home/your_username/shared_folder(or whatever the folder is called in the VM, this is inside the VM) virtiofs defaults 0 0
- Then either reboot or do ‘sudo mount -a’
Example: SsharedFoldsRandomName /home/kali/SharedFolds/ virtiofs defaults 0 0

INSTALL PRINTER ON KALI (Ecotank L3250 (L3210 was similar and I put instructions on tttthis)
In the 'LINUX INSTALL 2025' folder, use gdebi to install lsb-compat_9.20161125_amd64 (hard to find online) and either both or one of epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.8.6-1_amd64.deb and epson-printer-utility_1.2.2-1_amd64.deb
Then click the Dragon > Printer, and add the printer (Generic or Epson? I did both in the mess of this install)
