I've just tried this on a 16.04, but it should work on older versions of Ubuntu as well.

(1) Download and install ActiveTcl Free Community Edition

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads

Download and extract the files, then cd into the extracted directory and run ./install.sh (with root permissions).

Free left-handed mouse

Quick, dirty and cheap way to get a left-handed mouse on Linux (tested on Ubuntu only).

Installation

Just place this function in your ~/.bash_aliases file:

# Left-handed mouse buttons

Recursive wget example

wget \
-e robots=off \
--force-directories \
--ignore-case \
--no-verbose \
--show-progress \

Downgrade Virtualbox guest additions in your virtual machine (Ubuntu 16.04)

Make sure your VM is running and ssh into it. From there, run the contents of downgrade-vbox-guest-additions.sh below.

Stop vagrant-vbguest automatic updates

From your host machine, if you have the vagrant-vbguest plugin installed, make sure you deactivate it for this specific VM. To do that, set auto_update to false in your Vagrantfile:

config.vbguest.auto_update = false

Export

Save all filters (msgFilterRules.dat files) in a zip file:

$ find .thunderbird/ -type f -name msgFilterRules.dat -print | zip thunderbird-filters -@

Import

Linux clean up /boot - remove old kernels

Easiest and safest

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

This command will usually keep the last 3 kernels in the partition, which is good in case anything goes wrong with the current kernel.
