I have a VirtualBox VM running Xenial. I want to share some folders with my host OS, but use the native filesystem for build artifacts due to running MySQL with InnoDB and some config I cannot change with the build. I tried setting up OverlayFS with the following command (running as root):

@Seth After you applied desktop-icons tag it was used 9 times. I just applied it 10 times more and now it is used 90 times. My wrist is sore so from mouse clicks I quit now...LOL.
I'm having a similar problem to this : Route everything through VPN except SSH on Port 22
But following those tips ended up locking me out of my server for good. I have a private OpenVPN server, to which I'm trying to connect to through another VPS. I only have access to both of these through ss...
I'd like to make screen brightness lower on low battery. There's no such options in power settings. Alternatively, I may set the system to shut down in such situation, but that's undesired. Is there any kind of script or bash command that I could use to set lower screen brightness on low battery?
So I was reviewing, and this answer had to be reviewed.
I added a comment explaining that this didn't solve the hot corner part of the question and was probably better as a comment on the OP, and it told me I failed the audit.
It became clear it was a popular answer, but in my limited view I wo...

I use Ubuntu 18.04.2 with VNC connection from Windows. I see most of the menu options and items in folders without its icons, as follows:

@DKBose Yeah I think it's safe but I'm more inclined towards not recommending using that. I must have sent a link of question that I answered in the past? As soon as I add that PPA and run apt update && apt upgrade, 37 packages needs to be upgraded for which I'm sure they are from Pop's repository.
Those packages are generally modified as per Pop's theme, I guess. If you are interested these are the packages that would be affected on my machine running bionic. If you look closely some have pop0 in their version name.
@Kulfy I remember that being my experience as well. So I backed off from installing anything from that ppa and removed the ppa as well. I think that answer could lead to trouble.
Quick Question: Whenever I add a PPA, to which servers/domains Ubuntu tries to connect and requests information? Actually I'm having problems in adding PPA since last night. I am sure that it's connection issue. I am trying to contact my ISP and register a complaint regarding that. launchpad.net is working fine here.
Some one has asked a question where he wants to use Pivot Table To solve his problem. He has provided some data but I have some questions about that to send him the right solution. So if I can send e mail or can write to him about my doubts, then I will proceed further for the answer.
@HarshadAmichandVegda I'm not sure about the other contact details but since the question is on SU and you have enough reputation to comment, why don't you start commenting on the question and ask for your doubts? If your conversation goes long, don't worry you'll see "moved to chat" dialog which would create a room for you and questioner.
In Ubuntu 12.04 (or above), how do I set the GRUB time and the default OS (that I see at boot time) as I'm dual-booting Windows (7/8) and Ubuntu (12.04 or above)?
@Tooniis If you're talking about specific UEFI firmware settings: these depend on the brand and model of laptop so if you have an Acer, I can help you with that too.

@Fabby Yesterday I was having a boot-repair on one of my system, and unable to add yannubuntu. Today I was trying to add Pop!_OS's repository. But both failed.

my problem is not the ability to boot into Ubuntu. I am able to do it either by the Shift+Restart in Windows method, or by holding down the power and volume up buttons until it opens a boot list. What I am trying to do is to make it boot into grub by default so I don't have to get to the boot list to do it.
How can I disable all installed display managers in ubuntu (18.10) without removing them? In my case gdm3 and sddm are installed and I tried:
sudo systemctl disable sddm -f
sudo systemctl disable gdm3 -f
However after reboot gdm3 started again.

Apparently an answer I wrote was deleted (by others).
Is there a way to retrieve a deleted answer? (I would like to
