using Ubuntu
using Ubuntu copy files from your local host to a server scp PATHNAME_HERE target-host:/PATHNAME_THERE scp -rp user1@host1:/filepath1 user2@host2:/filepath2 if you can not get "apt-get" done, that may be because your selected ubuntu mirror server is down. So what you need to do is change the mirror server. Go to: System->Administration->Update Manager->Settings->Ubuntu Software->Download from, and check the active mirror servers and choose one. search files for some contents in a certain directory find . -type f|xargs grep -e "content" find file-path file-type | xargs grep "content" to see if some application has been installed or not command: $ type <package-name> command: $ apt-cache policy <package-name> setup sharing folder between Ubuntu(guest) and MacOS(host) using VirtualBox step 1: on your host OS, go to VirtualBox -> machine -> settings -> Shared Folders, add the folder, say folder1, you want to share with you...
