LPI Certification Material

    At one time I really wanted to take the LPI certification but I feel my experience speaks for itself. However I do want to cover the material and refresh myself on some of the stuff that I don't use on a regular basis. I bolded the commands I use the least and reworded the description a little more to my liking. Most of the information is just examples I found and stuff I think would be covered.
Commands
  • declare - Use the declare command to set variable and functions attributes.
  • quota - displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
  • date  - display or set the time.
  • rpm - package manager. (I prefer debian)
  • xvidtune - tweaks the screen resolution.
  • nl - prints line numbers before each line in a file.
  • od  - dumps files in octal format.
  • su - option m is pretty useful, do not reset environment variables.
  • mkfs - “used to build a Linux file system on a device, usually a hard disk partition.”
  • XF86Config -the section concerned with fonts: The Files sections
  • XFree86 -config file is: /etc/X11/XF86Config
  • sed - edits the stream by filtering and transforming text.
  • dpkg - need to know difference from a --remove and the --purge action
  • tar, gzip, gunzip - just need to know all of these.
  • kbdmap - allows for setting key maps, used with command vidfont.
  • kill - kills a process!
  • mkdir - this should be very oblivious but it makes directories. where's touch makes files.
  • whereis - locates files by name, strips leading paths and single form extensions. Not ".min.js"
  • lsattr - list attributes on a file system, description of attributes at chattr.
  • make - a utility to maintain other programs.
  • xset - sets user preference to the x window utility.
  • alien - will convert rpm files to .deb packages.
  • xauth - edits authorizations information for x window utility.
  • proc - process information pseudo file system, mostly read only.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
