Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..." Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).

Discover host and url of media files (ex. flv, mp4, m4v..). It locate the urls of audio and video files so that they can be recorded.

Mac install ssh-copy-id From there on out, you would upload keys to a server like this: (make sure to double quote the full path to your key) ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" username@server or, if your SSH server uses a different port (often, they will require that the port be '2222' or some other nonsense: (note the double quotes on *both* the "/path/to/key" and "user@server -pXXXX"): ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" "username@server -pXXXX" ...where XXXX is the ssh port on that server

"That's it. Not much to see here. The first command writes any cache data that hasn't been written to the disk out to the disk. The second command tells the kernel to drop what's cached. Not much to it. This invalidates the write cache as well as the read cache, which is why we have the sync command first. Supposedly, it is possible to have some cached write data never make it to disk, so use it with caution, and NEVER do it on a production server. You could ... but why take the risk? As long as you are running a post 2.6.16 kernel,..." Source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3621283&postcount=1

On wired connections set 'eth0' instead of 'wlan0'

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.

There is no longer a need to add PGP keys for Ubuntu Launchpad PPA's. The add-apt-repository command creates a new file for the PPA in /etc/sources.list.d/ then adds the PPA's keys to the apt keyring automatically. No muss, no fuss.

Removes the package, 'packagename' in the example ,from your system. '-R' is the actual removal option, 'n' is for removing backup configuration files saved by pacman, and 's' is for removing the dependencies of the given package which are not required by other packages. pacman does not remove configuration files, etc. created by the package.

Some of us have both Macs *and* Linux machines — so it makes sense to know how to run this command on the former in the event that a botched reinstallation renders the latter unbootable.

This is useful for sending data between 2 computers that you have shell access to. Uses tar compression during transfer. Files are compressed & uncompressed automatically. Note the trailing dash on the listening side that makes netcat listen to stdin for data. on the listening side: sudo nc -lp 2022 | sudo tar -xvf - explanation: open netcat to -l listen on -p port 2022, take the data stream and pipe to tar -x extract, -v verbose, -f using file filename - means "stdin" on the sending side: tar -cvzf - ./*| nc -w 3 name_of_listening_host 2022 explanation: compress all files in current dir using tar -c create, -v verbose, -f using file, - filename - here means "stdout" because we're tar -c instead of tar -x, -w3 wait 3 seconds on stream termination and then end the connection to the listening host name_of_listening_host, on port 2022
