Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package snapd is not available, but is referred to by another package.

is only available from another source
E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate

Then you need to follow following steps:

1. sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref

4. snap version

File Sharing in Linuxmint

File sharing in Linux is quite easy if we follow the proper steps. Without taking time just follow the following steps. This steps is followed in Linuxmint but as possible you can use the same way in another distro as well.

First of all install the samba and its related packages. When you enter '*' on the end then it includes all related packages from the library.

$    sudo apt install samba*

Then enable samba in firewall

$    sudo ufw allow Samba

Create the client Id password

$    sudo useradd suman

$    sudo passwd Suman@123

When you add the user on your pc then it is for the local use. You need to provide the sharing password on shamba. It can be anything you wish. You just need to register desirable password and to to so  just Add Samba Sharing password using this command.

$    sudo smbpasswd -a suman

then enter the password for 'suman'.

> Now or any time just right click the folder you wish to share and click the sharing option.

> Switch on the option Share this folder.

>Now you can open the folder using smb://<IP address> in linux and \\<ipaddress> on windows.

Work is done. enjoy the sharing..

Android on Virtual Box

Installing android on PC is really helpful on some case when you are testing app or any reason you want to run the app. If you need more than one device along with the device you have on your hand is create a virtual device. It would be the best way to run the app.

To solve this problem you can create a virtual device on your pc using the virtual box. You can download the android x86 os on your pc or virtual box to make this happen.

Just follow the few steps to create it.

1. Download the Disk image from THIS LINK. this will take you to the  URL https://www.android-x86.org/
2. Then Download the Virtual Box using THIS LINK or https://www.virtualbox.org/
3. Then Create a Virtual Machine using Followings:
   Name: Android (anything you wish)
   Machine Folder: (Leave default)
   Type: Linux
   Version: Other 64-bit
   
4. Then Link the image file on the machine as you start
   
   
5. Give put desirable amount of RAM. I think 4096 MB is enough for 4GB.
6. Create a virtual Hard Disk
7. Then Choose the Hard Disk File type as VDI (Virtual Box Disk Image)
   
   
8. Storage on physical hard disk 'Dynamically allocated'
9. File location and size around 32 GB

Now the time has come to run the Virtual device,

Go to settings and adjust the followings,

• SYSTEM 
• Motherboard
• Pointing Device> PS/2 Mouse
• Processor
• Processor(s) : 4
• DISPLAY
• Screen
• Video Memory: 128 MB
• Graphics Controller: VBoxVGA
• Acceleration: Tik the Enable 3D acceleration

Then Click OK and save it.

Next, Load the Downloaded iso file and run the machine.

As the machine runs the Go to Advance Option.

> Advance Option

    >Auto _Installation-Auto Install to specified Hard disk 

        >Auto Installer Option (YES)

            >Run Android-X86

If you have a fucing Fate then a black screen with console# may appear or it will stuck then you need to close the virtual box and Power off the machine.

Start the Machine again and Go to Advance Option and Boot from the Local drive.

    >Hovering the first option press 'e'

then replace this line 

grub edit> kernel /android-9.0-r2.kernel force root=/de/ram0 S><dev/ram0 SRC=/android-9.0-r2

into

grub edit> kernel /android-9.0-r2.kernel nomdeset xforcevesa root=/de/ram0 S><dev/ram0 SRC=/android-9.0-r2

Then press enter and press 'b'

Now your machine is ready to run.
