When Linux Hangs

Yes! Linux too hangs. By forcing a manual restart you can put your data at risk.

So when your desktop freezes you can use ATL+CTRL+BackSpace to restart X or GDM.

If that doesn't helps there are other important key sequences that can help you when your computer freezes. They prevent you from file system error during the crash. Also they gives some program to make emergency backup of unsaved work. They are called magic SysRq keys. Please note that they dont work on kernel panic.

To safely restart freezed system,

Press ALT+PrintScreen
While holding them press and release the following keys one by one.
R S E I U B

Please keep in mind that you need to press each key for 2-3 seconds.

These keys are the shortcut for:
Raw Sync tErminate kIll Unmount reBoot

To safely shutdown freezed system,

Press ALT+PrintScreen
While holding them press and release the following keys one by one.
R S E I U O

Please keep in mind that you need to press each key for 2-3 seconds.

These keys are the shortcut for:
Raw Sync tErminate kIll Unmount shutdOwn

There function is:
Raw take control of keyboard back from X
tErminate send SIGTERM to all processes, allowing them to terminate racefully
kIll send SIGKILL to all processes, forcing them to terminate immediately
Sync flush data to disk
Unmount remount all filesystems read-only

How to remove comments and blank lines from file

So often you need to remove comments and blank lines form configuration files.
You can do it in a very easy single step.

#grep -v ^$ file.conf | grep -v ^#

What it does is grep ^$ from your file. You must be saying I don't have any such character in my file. Actually those characters have their own meaning.

^ begging of the line
$ end of the line

So searching for ^$ means you are searching a blank line.
The -v option invert your search.
So #grep -v ^$ matches all the lines except the blank lines.

Again the pipe '|' sends those match to another grep command which matches any line begging with '#'. Then -v option again inverts the match giving you all the lines except comment and blank lines.

If you want the output in a file rather than screen then redirect it,
#grep -v ^$ file.conf | grep -v ^# > newfile

For more of the input/output and error redirection visit http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2008/06/devnull-2.html

device manager for Ubuntu

There are tools like lsusb, lspci, lspcmcia, lshw that provides wonderful information of your current hardware.

These tools are all command based and you wont find any wonderful GUI tools on the system menu.

If you want to see the details of your computer hardware in GUI mode then hardinfo is the program for you.



You can install it by:
sudo apt-get install hardinfo

Then launch application launcher by pressting ALT+F2 and typing hardinfo.

Thought the topic says this is not a device manager. It only displays information about the devices. So you can call it hardware information on Ubuntu.

Cacti on Freebsd

cacti is a very useful tool for monitoring your devices on network.

While there are many tutorials on installation and use of cacti this tutorial aims on providing just enough information to make installation work and graphing possible.

Cacti requires that the following software is installed on your system.

* RRDTool 1.0.49 or 1.2.x or greater
* MySQL 3.23 or greater, 4.1.x or 5.x or greater
* PHP 4.3.6 or greater, 5.x greater highly recommended for
advanced features
* A Web Server e.g. Apache

On you freebsd box
# cd /usr/ports/net/cacti
# make config
enable plugins
# make && make install

This will take care of all the packages it requires like

* apache
* rrdtool
* net-snmp
* php5-extensions
* php5 (With MySQL and SNMP Support)
* mysql server

To start snmp, apache and mysql in every reboot type
# echo 'snmpd_enable="YES"' >>/etc/rc.conf
# echo '/usr/local/libexec/mysqld --user=mysql &' >> /etc/rc.conf
# echo '/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start' >>/etc/rc.conf

To configure your snmp run the following command
# snmpconf

If you are installing mysql for the first time then
# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/db/mysql

For Apache 2.x
You should make sure that the following line is present in your httpd.conf file.

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache/libphp5.so

In httpd.conf itself

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php3.c>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

Or you can simply have

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Finally add these two lines

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Add an alias for your cacti.

For eg: if you have your cacti setup on /usr/local/share/cacti then add an alias with

Alias /cacti /usr/local/share/cacti

Alternatively you can configure symbolic link too.

Now configure Mysql
First set root password
# mysqladmin --user=root password newpassword
# mysqladmin --user=root --password reload

Create a database for cacti
# mysqladmin --user=root --password create cacti

Import the default cacti database
# mysql cacti
Create a mysql username and password for cacti
# mysql --user=root --password mysql
mysql> Grant all on cacti.* to 'cactiuser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

Edit the file include/config.php to reflect the current database changes.

Edit your crontab
# crontab -e
*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&
1

Open your browser and access http://thewebser/cacti

This completes the instllation.

Creating graph, graph template, host template and other useful stuffs will be covered in next part of the tutorial.
I have data template and graph template for
