Ubuntu Guys !!! lets familize it

Here is some of the documentation for using “vi” editor for Ubuntu users

vi Editor

Here are some of the TERMINAL commands that you will need always to perform any task in linux,

su : Super User rights from within the terminal
sudo : super user run this command             [  “sudo su”  for ubuntu  ]
ls : list directory contents
ls -lis : list directory content is list view
cd : change directory
cd /dirname : jump change a directory
apt-get install : gets app from web and installs [NOTE from dannyboy: I would use aptitude, it keeps track of dependencies and when you uninstall stuff it takes the dependencies with it, apt-get DOESN’T do this!]
apt-get remove : uninstalls app [same here]
apt-get update : updates the DB [same here]
clear : clears screen
./filename : processes a install command
mkdir : creates a directory
chmod 777 dirname : resets access rights to directory [i don’t know what you mean by resets access right, chomd will make the dir readable, writable, and executable i thought?]
kill 999 : kills process at high level
reboot : reboots system
exit : exits from terminal or moves back a userlevel
make : comlies package code
make install : installs the compiled code
uname -r : gives you the kernel version
dir : will list all directories within your current location
cat filenamehere : will display it’s contents
pwd : will show you your current location (very important if you’re usincli ftp)
cp oldfilename newfilename : copies a file
mv oldfile newfile : will overwrite the oldfile with the newfile
chown usernamehere dirnamehere : changes the dir owner to whoever you put
chgrp groupnamehere dirnamehere : changes the group who owns the dir

man ls # will give you information about ls

tar -xf
Extracts the contents of most tar.** archives.

apt-cache search ****
Searches the apt database for packages with names or descriptions similar to ****

apt-cache show ****
Shows information on package ****, for example “apt-cache show unzip”.

df -h
Shows mounted filesystems and space usage infomation for them.

du -hs /path/to/directory/
Shows the size of the contents of the specified directory.

–>Having an & at the end of the command line sends this process to the background (you regain the prompt to type more commands). If you type a command followed by && and then another command (i.e. $command1 && command2) the second command will only be started when the first one is finished

Resetting Adobe CS5 suite trial period by yourself

1.) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
restart adobe cs5 trial delete PCD file

Adobe Common Files PCD Location

2.) Delete the file named “pcd”

3.) Open the “cache” folder

4.) Delete the file named “cache”

5.) Edit your “Hosts” file to prevent your Adobe CS5 programs from communicating with Adobe.

Editing your hosts file is a relatively easy task (See image below). Navigate to Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Windows -> System32 -> Drivers -> etc -> hosts. Or you can simply type “hosts” into the search bar when you are inside the folder “System32?.

You will need to change the security of the hosts file in order to edit it. Right click it, select properties and then select the security tab. You will need to grant regular users “Full Control” in order to edit this file.

WARNING: You should remove these full control privileges from the regular users group after editing the file for system security purposes.

Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com

This essentially tells your computer that when you attempt to navigate to either activate.adobe.com or practivate.adobe.com, rather than being directed to those addresses, your computer will loop that navigation back to itself, and your Adobe programs will fail to reach the adobe activation destination. “127.0.0.1? is your computers own loopback IP address.
edit windows hosts file for adobe activation

Click for full size

I’m actually not sure if that whole hosts file editing part is absolutely necessary, but it doesn’t seem like it could hurt. I’m not sure if Adobe attempts to keep track of trial users on their end.

Now the next time you open an Adobe CS5 program, you will be prompted to accept the license agreement and start a new trial.

Windows 7 Administrator

This is for Windows 7 users !!!!

In Windows 7,  we use an account that we had named as we like and so called Administrator. And when you create it, there will be all in total 3 User accounts in your computer. One is the account that you use, another is GUEST account which is disabled and last not the least is so called ADMINISTRATOR account which is a REAL administrator of your computer. This Admin.. Account has all privilege and is hidden.

So if you want to active this Account then just use some tricks to do it…..

heres one command to type in CMD in your computer to access to USER ACCOUNT Control

LUSRMG.MSC

This command lets to the location of where the setting of hidden is done for administration …. see a little bit there…and if you cann’t figure this out, just leave a comment .

I will help you out.

 

Actually, this isn’t for Noob users, Cause why the hell you need  Administrator privilege if you don’t know anything.
