Cheatsheet

Python

  • f'{0x0c180606:032b}'

VNC

  • Server side: Start server on certain port with certain geometry: vncserver :66 -geometry 1920x1080

  • Client side: for safety, use SSH tunnel.

    • -p 22: ssh port is 22
    • -L 7777:localhost:5966: Forward localhost’s 7777 to server’s 5966 ``` Step 1) ssh -p 22 -v -C -L 7777:localhost:5966 root@yourserver.com

Step 2) Use VNC client to establish connection with localhost:7777 ```

virsh

  • Pass commands to QEMU in the virsh bash: ```

qemu-monitor-command guest_os_id –hmp “info cpus”

```

Markdown

tmux

bash

  • Show current git branch in PS1: ```bash parse_git_branch() { git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e ‘/[]/d’ -e ‘s/ .*/ git:(\1)/’ }

PS1=”[\e[32m][\u@\h: \W\e[33m]$(parse_git_branch)[\033[32m]][\e[00m] $ ” ```

  • Forward man pages to vim: bash vman() { man $* | col -b | vim -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist' -; } alias man="vman"

Git

git log --pretty="%C(Yellow)%h %C(auto)%d (%C(Green)%cr%C(reset))%x09 %C(Cyan)%an: %C(reset)%s" --date=short --graph

QEMU

  • Run standalone kernel: ```bash

Create a new directory to store the serial output from printk().

OUTPUT_DIR=”test-output” if [ -e $OUTPUT_DIR ]; then if [ -f $OUTPUT_DIR ]; then echo “ERROR: $OUTPUT_DIR is not a directly” exit 1 fi else mkdir -p $OUTPUT_DIR fi

KERNEL=”arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage” KERNEL_PARAM=”console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200” SERIAL=”-serial file:OUTPUT_DIR/ttyS0 -serial file:OUTPUT_DIR/ttyS1”

# -cpu Haswell,+tsc,+sse,+xsave,+aes,+avx,+erms,+pdpe1gb,+pge \

Above -cpu option may not work with some kernels.

qemu-system-x86_64 -s \ -nographic \ -kernel KERNEL -append "KERNEL_PARAM” \ -no-reboot \ -d int,cpu_reset -D $OUTPUT_DIR/qemu.log \ $SERIAL \ -m 16G \ -monitor stdio \ -smp cpus=24,cores=12,threads=2,sockets=2 \ -numa node,cpus=0-11,mem=8G,nodeid=0 \ -numa node,cpus=12-23,mem=8G,nodeid=1 ```

Avoid Typing SSH Password

  • Generate keys: ssh-keygen -t rsa
  • Copy to remote: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@remotehost -p 22

GRUB2 on Ubuntu

  • Nothing like grubby?! Shame on you.
  • Step I: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep menuentry menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 4.16.0' --class ubuntu ... menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 4.9.92' --class ubuntu ...
  • Step II: Open /etc/default/grub, change
    • GRUB_DEFAULT=”Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.16.0”
    • GRUB_DEFAULT=”Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.9.92”
  • Step III: sudo update-grub
