VM

I had a bit of a problem with Vmware Workstation when trying to install Ubuntu Server Edition. I had tried to do a few things which required administrator rights so I issued the sudo command and I was told unceremoniously that I had no administrator's rights and that I was not in the sudoers list. I would be reported, it told me; very disconcerting to be sure.

I did not know what to do so I figured I must have missed the part about administrator's username and password so I deleted the VM I had just installed. I did not know how to do that and I did not want to just delete it for fear of leaving traces of it behind. I googled about removing VMs and sure enough it was there. Press f9 to bring up the sidebar, right click on the erring virtual machine and "delete". Easy as pie. And I went through the whole rigmarole again and I waited until the install process finished. Sure enough, I had butted in before everything was done and I got shut out of root rights.

Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway.
