Just a list of handy commands for those who know what they are for but don't remember them (like me).
If you boot up and you have no Graphical interface:
| sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg |
Show partition table:
Modify fstab:
Modify xorg:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
|
Utility for displaying information about all PCI buses in the system and all devices connected to them:
Reconfigure display manager (e.g to get shutdown button in KDE after installing KDE on top of Gnome)
| sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm |
Set default browser (i.e if you want firefox to be default in Kubuntu or Swiftfox in Ubuntu etc.)
| sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser |
To get your theme working for root applications
| sudo ln -s ~/.themes/* /usr/share/themes |
To remove a program including dependencies and config files
| sudo apt-get --purge autoremove packagename |
Thanks to Dread Knight from Ubuntu forums I got a hand on a really cool sheet with Linux console commands. Its a very handy sheet to have around when you need to climb into the terminal. Download it here: Linux Commands ( 2007-08-23 03:34:24)
