Boot

add boot entry

• https://linuxconfig.org/booting-a-ms-windows-os-using-grub

• Boot to your Linux

• Open a Terminal window

• Type: sudo os-prober

• If the results identify a Windows 10 install, type sudo update-grub which will update the GRUB entries and add it

• Reboot your computer and test to see if Windows 10 is a new option to select.

remove boot entries

If you can boot into Linux in UEFI mode, use efibootmgr:

• efibootmgr or efibootmgr -v to list entries;
• efibootmgr -b XXXX -B to delete an entry by number.

If you can boot into Windows in UEFI mode, use bcdedit:

• bcdedit /enum firmware to list entries;
• bcdedit /delete {GUID} to delete an entry by its "identifier".

vmware screen resolution bug

sudo sh -c '(crontab -l; echo "@reboot sleep 5 && systemctl restart vmtoolsd") | sort -u | crontab -'

old, not working/necessary

• sudo pacman -S open-vm-tools

• sudo pacman -Su xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-video-vmware mesa gtk2 gtkmm

• sudo echo needs_root_rights=yes >>/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

• sudo systemctl enable vmtoolsd

• sudo systemctl start vmtoolsd

• Now, for instance if you've rebooted from the login screen and the resolution is not adapting (Or even after starting the vmtoolsd service nothing happens only then)type in sudo systemctl restart vmtoolsd

or create autostart desktop entry:

• nano /etc/xdg/autostart/restartVmtoolsd.desktop

  enter:

  [Desktop Entry]

Raspberry pi

configs

• use sudo raspi-config

• fix ip address

• edit sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

• reboot

mount exfat USB

• https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-exfat/

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse
sudo apt-get install exfat-utils

• the pi should detect and mount the exfat usb drive automatically

• check your mounted drives

  sudo cat /proc/mounts
  

• format drive to exFAT if needed: mkfs.exfat /dev/sd**

Mounting an exFAT Drive Manually from Terminal:

• Mounting an exFAT drive utilize the -t exfat argument to tell the mount command to recognize the file system as exFAT.

  To begin, we must first create a folder where we will mount our desired drives. Create this new exfat folder by running the following command on the Raspberry Pi.

  sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sd** /media/data1
  

auto mount on boot for exFAT drives

• identify the the disk (/dev/sdb1) first

  df -h #disk-free, displays available disk space
  

  Most external drives will be references under the /dev/sd** filesystem name.

• to find UUID and chek the type of drive (should be exFAT): sudo blkid /dev/sd**

• edit the fstab file via sudo nano /etc/fstab and add a line like:

  UUID=<uuid> /media/data1 exfat defaults,auto,umask=000,users,rw 0 0
  

linux mint (cinnemon)

• disable moveing windows with alt + mouse click(and hold)
  • System Settings -> Windows -> Behaviour -> Special key to move and resize windows

Updates

• check for updates dnf check-update
• summary of available updates dnf updateinfo or dnf updateinfo list
• upgrade all packages sudo dnf upgrade
• reboot afterwards sudo shutdown -r now

different locale

• to use a different local in a e.g. browser use: LANGUAGE=de_AT google-chrome

Shell

bash basics

default text editor

• for inline shell call: sudo EDITOR=nano crontab -e

• add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

  • export EDITOR=nano

• for default root editor, edit also /root/.bashrc or /root/.zshrc

echo "export VISUAL=nano\nexport EDITOR=nano" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export VISUAL=nano\nexport EDITOR=nano" >> ~/.zshrc

sudo sh -c "echo -e \"export VISUAL=nano\nexport EDITOR=nano\" >> ~/.bashrc"
sudo sh -c "echo -e \"export VISUAL=nano\nexport EDITOR=nano\" >> ~/.zshrc"

login message:

• for local user edit: nano ~/.profile
• for global: /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc (only for bash shell)

add for example:

#shell login message
echo -e "\n\n You are working on: \t\e[41m>>> subdomain.my-server.com <<<\e[49m\n\n"

custom shell prompt:

• for local user edit: nano ~/.profile
• for global: /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc (only for bash shell)

add for example:

#shell login message
alias PS1="\e[0;32m[\u@\h \w]\$ \e[0m"

• \u - user
• \h - host
• \w - current path

[test@ubuntu1 ~]$ <- in green

PS3 for select prompt

https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/09/bash-shell-take-control-of-ps1-ps2-ps3-ps4-and-prompt_command/

Terminal colors

• \e[0;32m

• \e[ – Begin color changes

• 0;32m – Specify the color code

• [\u@\h \W]\$ – This is the code for your normal BASH prompt (username@hostname Workingdirectory $)

• \e[0m – Exit color-change mode

The first number in the color code specifies the typeface:

• 0 – Normal
• 1 – Bold (bright)
• 2 – Dim
• 4 – Underlined

The second number indicates the color you want:

color	background	text
black	\e[0;40m	\e[0;30m
Red	\e[0;41m	\e[0;31m
Green	\e[0;42m	\e[0;32m
Brown	\e[0;43m	\e[0;33m
Blue	\e[0;44m	\e[0;34m

CLI tools

find, search, grep

find

use cases:

• find ./subfolder -name sample.txt - Search a file with specific name
• find ./subfolder -name *.txt - Search a file with pattern
• find ./GFG -name sample.txt -exec rm -i {} \; - find and delete a file with confirmation
• find ./subfolder -empty - Search for empty files and directories
• find ./subfolder -perm 664 - Search for file with entered permissions
• find ./ -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep 'some Phrase' {} \; - Search text within multiple files

more examples

find /path -name *.txt
find /path -type f -name test.txt
find /path -name failed*.* -type f
find /path -type f -not -name "*.html"
find / -name "file.txt" -size +4M
find /dev/ -type b -name "sda*"
find ./*file*

grep

grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...

• options
  • -B <numb> - show numb lines before match
  • -A <numb> - show numb lines after match
  • -i - ignore case distinctions in patterns and data
  • -r, --recursive - like --directories=recurse
  • -v, --invert-match - To display only the lines that do not match a search pattern
  • --exclude-dir=<foldername> - exclude folder from search
  • -n, --line-number - Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file.

examples

• grep -ir --exclude-dir=vendor skeleton . - find all occurences of "skeleton" in the current working dir
• grep -i "some string" path/**/files.log - search string in log files

sed

sed -i 's/SEARCH_REGEX/REPLACEMENT/g' INPUTFILE

• -i - By default, sed writes its output to the standard output. This option tells sed to edit files in place. If an extension is supplied (ex -i.bak), a backup of the original file is created.
• s - The substitute command, probably the most used command in sed.
• `/ / /`` - Delimiter character. It can be any character but usually the slash (/) character is used.
• SEARCH_REGEX - Normal string or a regular expression to search for.
• REPLACEMENT - The replacement string.
• g - Global replacement flag. By default, sed reads the file line by line and changes only the first occurrence of the SEARCH_REGEX on a line. When the replacement flag is provided, all occurrences are replaced.
• INPUTFILE - The name of the file on which you want to run the command.

Cronjob, tar, autostart, sudo, ln

• options:

  • -c Ein neues Archiv erzeugen.
  • -d Dateien im Archiv und im Dateisystem miteinander vergleichen.
  • -f Archiv in angegebene Datei schreiben / Daten aus angegebener Datei lesen. Diese Option muss die letzte sein, da die nachfolgende Zeichen als Datei interpretiert werden. Z.B. würde -cfv zu einer Fehlermeldung führen. Korrekt wäre -vcf.
  • -x Dateien aus einem Archiv extrahieren.

• create archive:

  • unzipped
    • tar -czf archiv.tar.gz file Create archiv.tar.gz

cli parameters/flags

• -c, --const - Constantly display the cursor position and line number on the statusbar. Note that this overrides -U.
• -U, --quickblank - Do quick statusbar blanking. Statusbar messages will disappear after 1 keystroke instead of 25. Note that -c overrides this.
• -S, --smooth - Enable smooth scrolling. Text will scroll line-by-line, instead of the usual chunk-by-chunk behavior.
• -m, --mouse - Enable mouse support, if available for your system. When enabled, mouse clicks can be used to place the cursor, set the mark (with a double click), and execute shortcuts. The mouse will work in the X Window System, and on the console when gpm is running.

## Make the Home key smarter: when Home is pressed anywhere but at the
## very beginning of non-whitespace characters on a line, the cursor
## will jump to that beginning (either forwards or backwards).  If the
## cursor is already at that position, it will jump to the true start
## of the line (the left edge).

Your tmux has two issues.

It cannot display 256 colors. To fix this, create ~/.tmux.conf with set -g default-terminal screen-256color in it and reboot your machine.

It cannot display non-ascii characters. To fix this, install and enable a UTF-8 locale in your OS and reboot your machine.

You can verify that you've fixed tmux by running the following command:

print -P -- '--> %F{70}\u276E\u276F%f <--'

basic

suspend and continue

• Ctrl - z suspend
• command fg to continue
