About CKAN Sample Dataset

You can use "ckan seed" to create sample datasets e.g. ckan seed basic , which creates two datasets:  annakarenina warandpeace BUT, after you delete the two datasets, either via  User Interface  OR  CLI:  ckan dataset delete annakarenina   ckan dataset purge  annakarenina   You cannot run the "ckan seed basic" again to regenerate the two datasets.  Why? Since there are two records still in table "group" and 5 records created in table "user" (They are created by "ckan seed basic" ). Remove those records and then you can run the "ckan seed basic"  again.

Share folder in VirtualBox

I'd been creating a shared folder in VirtualBox guest (Lubuntu) in a Ubuntu host. While the folder path I entered is a symbolic link, it just NOT work at all. So, always remember the "Folder Path" has to be a REAL PATH, no symbolic link !!
