Assistance is welcome in verifying that the settings on this wiki page match those we are using in {{project_name_short}} source code. This ensures that no settings have been forgotten. If interested, click on Expand on the right.
In {{project_name_short}} source code, examine {{Code2|build-steps.d/2500_create-vbox-vm}} for the functions general_setup and workstation_specific. Apply any missing settings from {{Code2|build-steps.d/2500_create-vbox-vm}}. It is also sensible to drop the "sudo -u $USERNAME" setting.
