I just installed Virtual BOX to run linux labs. I am running into the issue, when I download Ubuntu or Kali .ISO or .OVA file extensions these files appear as if they were PDF files - so VM does not recognize them. Any suggestions towards correcting this scenario is appreciated.
View of a .OVA download
I am not sure about .ova files but you can try downloading the Ubuntu ISO file from here.
Also, are you correctly using the ISO file in Virtual box by going to the VM -> Settings -> Storage and then clicking on the disk icon besides controller, that should open the file explorer and give you the option to add the ISO file.
Sorry I can't use comments just yet, (which is where I think this should be) however, if you're using windows 10, there's Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short. Its extremely simple to install and may be able to accomplish your needs. Lots of great features if you have the latest dev build of windows 10 like reading ext4 filesystem's and making them available to windows.
As for the original issue, I'm not sure I 100% understand what you mean by opening them as PDFs, but it sounds like maybe its a matter of changing the default program for those file extensions in your windows settings. Have you tried right click->open with on the files in question ?
Had not seen the picture at first... Yes this is a default program issue. You can do as I suggested with right click, or go to settings->Apps->default Apps->choose default apps by file type

apologies in advance in case someone answers this already (but looks like have tried everything)
Just build my first pc recently:
AMD® Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor
ASUS Prime X570-P ATX Motherboard
burn Ubuntu to USB from my MacBook and it's all working fine. ( Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS )
The problem is that I wanna install Windows 10 into PC also.
Have done partition on SSD (have just one SSD + HDD).
But no matter what I try can't seems to install everything right.
It's one of these:
Or pc just can't find my flash drive ( probably something is wrong with the way I burn iso to it)
Or if it does found it I get an error somewhere in the middle of installing, that there is no file for the next step or something like that. ( iso downloaded from Microsoft official page)
I have tried it with various programs (on ios and ubuntu) or even a command line. Even changing settings in BIOS to boot any external drive.
The easy way is to format your Ubuntu partition and install Windows first. Then the Ubuntu installer will automatically detect Windows and and you should be fine.
The hard way is to keep Ubuntu and install Windows. Then you will need to restore grub (Ubuntu's boot loader).
You have to run and install both OS with in (U)EFI mode and adjust some settings in UEFI. This could be the reason for the flashdrive not being found. If you have used tools like Rufus for creation of the bootable USB drive it could also be broken. It is enough to format the flashdrive with FAT32 and copy the contents of the ISO into its root.
Maybe this and this will help

How do I access an external hard drive through bash-on-Ubuntu-on-windows. It doesn't seem to appear in either /media, /mnt or /dev, which seem the common places that people say to look for them in Ubuntu systems.
Note: the hard drive is HFS+ formatted: I use Paragon's HFS+ for windows and have already done an apt-get install hfsprogs which I think should allow the Linux part to read the HFS+ format. I have also tried with normal USB sticks, no of which seemed to appear anywhere.
The drive does appear in /cygdrive in cygwin, but when I navigate to cygdrive in bash it doesn't appear. Clearly it is not properly mounted there, but is some form of symbolical link that bash cannot see.
I'm not really sure if this is a Linux or a Windows issue, but there doesn't seem to be anything from Microsoft about it, though I realise it is early days for them.
The Ubuntu on Windows on the current build (Build 14393, a.k.a. anniversary update) doesn't support accessing external drive. This feature is on their backlog for future consideration.

I'm attempting to download wget because a provisioner I am using can't retrieve certain information without it (naturally this issue doesn't come up at work but at work, I have a Mac, at home, I have a 64bit windows 10 machine). I have tried the wget.exe files from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and SourceForge but no luck. Are there any current issues with wget on Windows 10, if not does anyone have any ideas what my issues may be?
eternallybored build will crash when you are downloading a large file.
This can be avoided by disabling LFH (Low Fragmentation Heap) by GlobalFlag registry.
GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols.
It works great for me on win 10
Screenshot
I use it on Windows 10 without issue. Don't know which version it is. The digital signature in the properties says March 19, 2015. I have it in a folder on the c drive called ab and I use:
c:\ab\wget --no-check-certificate https://myURL -O c:\ab\Save_Name.txt
and it saves the file as Save_Name.txt

Getting this output: http://pastebin.com/PzQULCtx
Trying to run program called Chess Position Trainer with Wine on my Mac. I have tried VMs but they make the program run way too slow. A friend suggested Wine but I'm having trouble getting to running. I made a prefix with WineBottler to create the app. When I click on the .exe it bounces on my dock for a bit and then closes. When I try to run it through my terminal it gives me that above output. Tried googling this issue but not gleaning anything from my search. Any ideas?
You need to find the location of the Wine installation by running the program directly, one of the optional File paths is the location of the Wine or for mac you should be using the new version WineBottler which is now trademarked for Mac OS X and included Wine and Winebottler. Once you run the program directly your .exe will be in the system files in the same way Windows would store the files under Wine-1.7/Program Files. You might want to reinstall so that you have an easily accessible folder. Make sure to delete all Wine Folders first if you do so. Right now I'm trying to get serial bus and internet functionality within my applications and the new version includes a list of optional services called winetricks that can be applied from the menu, but right now I'm staring at a seemingly hung DOT NET 3.5 SP1 which I'm probably going to let run all day because if it's installing service packs, I've seen those take weeks on old Windows computers.

A friend of mine is showing me how to use the shell (on my mac) and I used ls -a to look at all of the files in my home directory and there are a few that I'm wondering if they're garbage.
The ones that seem non-native to the computer (I'm running Mountain Lion)
.cups
.drjava
.nbprofiler
.netbeans
.profile
I googled netbeans (and "cups" unsuccessfully) and it seems like netbeans is an IDE, but I never installed it and it's not on my computer. I'm just curious if some of these files are garbage that piggybacked here on other downloads. Thanks for any knowledge you guys might have of this!
All of the files that you mentioned are part of Mac OS X already. Cups is to manage printers, netbeans is an IDE, drjava is for writing java applications, nbprofiler is to uncover memory leaks, and .profile can be used to set up aliases that act as shortcuts to commands. It is an optional file which tells the system which commands to run when the user whose profile file it is logs in. Hope this helped!
