Ubuntu usefull tips

Alexey Bokov — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:03:38 +0000

Ubuntu doesn’t asking for login after boot up ( may happen after unexpected shutdown ) :
press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login in terminal mode and use fsck to fix it

Add user short memo :[root@my-box ~]# useradd -g users -u 560 tuser [root@my-box ~]# passwd tuser
ps. sudo will be required in not-root case

Proper access rights for .ssh files :chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts

List all files in folder sorted by size : find . -type f -exec du -k "{}" \; | sort -n

How to help economy – receipt from Marc Faber

Alexey Bokov — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:30:17 +0000

Marc Faber comments on USA economy : The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer/Software it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I’ve been doing my part .
He made this conclusion in his monthly bulletin in June 2008, but for those who wants to help economy this receipt is very timely for today also
