HELPFUL LINK ABOUT SETTING UP THE VIRTUAL BOX

Below is the useful link about setting up the vmware so that you can access the external devices connected to the host in the vmware.
I have included my screenshots of windows in virtual box. my external devices are clearly shown under the network folder. This enables me to have access to the files when I am running virtual box. I installed windows in vm so that i can run domore software for plc programming, so far no problem. If anyone knows any plc program software for linux, please feel free to leave a comment below.!!

INCREASING THE SPACE/VOLUME FOR /ROOT PARTITION ON MANJARO

So today when I wanted to install a video editor, I failed because I ran out of memory space on /root partition. I have separate partitions just in case i want to change the distro, I can change without a hustle, without affecting my personal files. Below are the steps on how I followed:

1. I created a bootable disk [manjaro]

2. I booted into live mode. 

3. Opened gparted 

4. Shrinked my home partition (it had more space) got the space i wanted by resizing it.

Note: take note the side where your /root partition is before shrinking. 

5. After shrinking I had unallocated space on my left, that's where my /root was, then I increased the /root partition by resizing it. It took some time, about an hour plus to finish. 

6. Finally I rebooted and everything was poky without tempering with my grub!. 

(I was running manjaro)
