Dear students,
Please consider updating the packages of the VM (see below). We believe that it can resolve several issues that were reported to us and at the end of the day, it's a good practice fo any computer system, especially with respect to security.
If you get the error "Certificate Verify Failed" in Part 5 (the part about security ;) ), it was confirmed to us that it can be resolved by updating the packages.
To update all packages, type in a terminal:
sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y autoremove
Then restart the VM.
Once you've done this procedure at least once, future updates can be performed by simply clicking on "Update" in the "Software updater" window that pops once in a while in the VM. In doubt, use the full command above.
Have a nice weekend,
Ludovic
