Terminal - Commands using sudo - 444 results
If you are an unlucky soul behind a corporate firewall you will likely find that downloading gpg keys is blocked. This is because the hkp protocol uses port 11371 by default to transfer the key.
By adding "hkp://" to the beginning of the hostname and ":80" to the end you are asking gpg to try using port 80 to connect (less likely to be blocked by a firewall). This relies on the remote server answering to requests over port 80.
Counts of messages by recipient, with frozen messages excluded.
Inner "ps...grep..." command searches for a process matching the specified .
"lsof -p lists all file descriptors owned by . Includes open files, sockets, devices, etc...
To do this, we?ll use nano to create a new configuration file called ?virtualbox.conf?. This file will go in the ?/etc/modules-load.d? directory, which contains files that need to be loaded when Arch boots up. Since adding a file to this directory requires administrative permissions, we?ll need to precede our command with ?sudo? once again.
When nano brings up the blank file, add these three lines to it:
vboxguest
vboxsf
vboxvideo
As usual, when you?re finished entering text in nano, type Control-X to exit to the command line, and answer ?y? for yes when you?re asked whether you want to save your work, and then hit ?Return? to accept the filename. At this point, reboot your machine for the Guest Additions to take effect.
Here you have to choose the correct kernel number, for example linux38.
If not success clean cache and try again

Warning: Instead of immediately updating as soon as updates are available, users must recognize that due to the nature of Arch's rolling release approach, an update may have unforeseen consequences. This means that it is not wise to update if, for example, one is about to deliver an important presentation. Rather, update during free time and be prepared to deal with any problems that may arise.
Pacman is a powerful package management tool, but it does not attempt to handle all corner cases. Read The Arch Way if this causes confusion. Users must be vigilant and take responsibility for maintaining their own system. When performing a system update, it is essential that users read all information output by pacman and use common sense. If a user-modified configuration file needs to be upgraded for a new version of a package, a .pacnew file will be created to avoid overwriting settings modified by the user. Pacman will prompt the user to merge them. These files require manual intervention from the user and it is good practice to handle them right after every package upgrade or removal. See Pacnew and Pacsave Files for more info.
Tip: Remember that pacman's output is logged in /var/log/pacman.log.
this command also can run the last command as root
what's more, sudo !-2 can run the second last command as root , and so on
Install the Linux kernel headers for currently running kernel version on Debian-based systems via apt-get
