SOME TIPS IN LINUX

•   Show full path for all files in current directory

find . -type f 

• Samba: Ubuntu 'net usershare' returned error 255

Solution:

1. Open up a terminal (press ctrl + alt + t)
2. Type in gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
3. Type in your password (if needed)
4. Search for the [Global] section (press ctrl + f and type in global)
5. Add the following line: "usershare owner only = false"

•  Adding application into "Open with..." list

  Find and use any text editor to open the file "abc.desktop" where "abc" is the name corresponding with your application. Add "%F" at the line "Exec=...".
  Here is an example: [Desktop Entry]
Name=Sublime text 2
Comment=The most powerful text editor
Exec=sublime %F
Icon=/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/256x256/sublime_text.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
[New Window Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=sublime -n
