Ubuntu - Absolute Begineer Command Line Reference

August 31, 2008

Came across this little gem.  Found it mentioned on a forum (the address of which I’ve now lost!), but it’s linked to here.  I’ll need to upload it somewhere so it’s not hotlinked (and in case that link disappears).

 (edit) - Here’s the link on my webspace.

VMWare borked

August 5, 2008

Hmmm.  I chucked on some stuff from Ubuntu Studio (in order to get something to join MP3s together - but that’s a story for another time).

I think is has stuffed my kernel and now VMWare console won’t start any more.

Following the destructions here where a bloke has a similar problem when running through vmware-config.pl, I’m going to have to muddle my way around and see how I go.  First off, I’m going to UNINSTALL all of these apps which got installed with the Studio package:  I was going to take a screenshot and post it up, but that eludes me currently and I’ll need to figure that out later….

Once I’ve got rid of some of that crap, I need to find out how to unbork my install…

 

 

 

BASH

Hmmm. Methinks it’s time to start delving into the scary world of the Command Line.

I’ve downloaded a quick-reference thing from here, direct link to the pdf here.

 

Time to start command-linin’

I’m scared, hold me….
