Hi Seth,
Thank you for testing!
Indeed there is a boot check for the squashfs file, we need to figure
out how to update the checksum so the test does not fail.
About VBoxClient, I am able to reproduce, we should open a ticket for
this and investigate.
As you also pointed, we need to work on the documentation to switch to
the new LXQT application names.
Regards,
Angelos

Hi Angelos,
Some quick initial feedback. I'll see if I can resolve the issues, and if not
report the issues to trac.
Tested on:
- Windows 10 Pro
- Virtual Box 6.1.14
- VM with 4096 MB memory, 16 MB video memory, "Enable 3d Acceleration"
On start up the filesystem check reported "Errors found in 1 file", but
continued to start.
Once started the following error displays continuously (but the VM is still
usable):
"VBoxClient: Failure waiting for event: rc=VERR_INVALID_HANDLE"
"VBoxClient: Failed to get display change request: rc=VERR_INVALID_HANDLE"

I ran through the MapServer quickstart - good news is all worked without any
issues.
There are a few changes however to application names that could require lots of
updates to the Quickstarts.
For example Leafpad is no longer present (Featherpad is now available as the
text editor), and there are many references to Leafpad in the docs:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/search?q=leafpad
Should these all be updated? Will this have a knock-on effect for translations?
Similarly, "Terminal Emulator" is now named "QTerminal".
Regards,
Seth

Hi all,
This year, with the COVID-19 situation and FOSS4G getting canceled,
things have been quite slow in our release schedule.
On top of that, we had to deal with low level changes in the Ubuntu
build for 20.04 [1] that took us a while to resolve.
So, now, 3 months after we kicked off the development, we release the
first alpha version of OSGeoLive 14.0.
Please download [2], [3], test and report any issues found [4]. Change
log available at [5].
Best,
Angelos
