How to edit/Modify/Delete Bookmarks in vinagre?


Vinagre bookmarks are stored in the file vinagre-bookmarks.xml file under /home//.local/share/vinagre directory.

As all the bookmarks are stored in single line be bit more cautious before editing, otherwise you will endup mess.
(I Recommend to keep a backup of the file before editing)

All the bookmarks are starts and ends with & xml node.  So as per your wish do edit/modify the Bookmarks.

Example entry in vinagre-bookmarks.xml file: <item><item><protocol>vnc</protocol><name>Asset-Mgmt-Client-1</name> <host>10.184.48.82</host><username></username><port>5915</port> <fullscreen>0</fullscreen><width>800</width><height>600</height> <view_only>0</view_only><scaling>0</scaling><keep_ratio>1</keep_ratio> <depth_profile>0</depth_profile><lossy_encoding>0</lossy_encoding></item>

How to resolve "no suitable module for running kernel found" error in virtualbox instalation in debian linux?

1. Check wheather you machine is installed with "linux-headers-, linux-image-"
by issueing the follwing command in terminal.

  $dpkg -l | grep linux

In my case my kernel version is "3.16.0-4-686-pae" so the output of the above command would be something like as follows, 


missing-linux-headers
Missing linux headers package







If you don't find any linux-headers or linux-images then you must install them first.

2. To find the your kernel version use the following command
  $uname -a

[ My output -> Linux hostname 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) i686 GNU/Linux ]

now install the required packages specified in step 1.
