using VirtualBox

" use ssh -X sstein..@xxx to enable a visual client

• vboxgtk (start visual client)

create and start a VM from comandline:

• VBoxManage createvm --name ubuntu --register
• VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu --ostype ubuntu_64 --cpus 4
• VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu --memory 8000
• VBoxManage startvm ubuntu

other:

• options of ip-addressing/web access: NAT (Network Address Translation) or Bridge (see also this blog entry)
• downloading .iso archives/vm from OSGeo (use commands curl or wget -c), e.g.:

wget -c "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/osgeo-live/7.0/osgeo-live-7.0.iso?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fosgeo-live%2Ffiles%2F%2F7.0%2Fosgeo-live-7.0.iso%2Fdownload&ts=1384444616&use_mirror=ufpr"

• showing list of running VMs: VBoxManage list runningvms

a VM contains 3 files: .img + .vbox (an editable xml) + .vbox-prev

OpenTripPlanner

• start with "sh start-server.sh"; use "&" at the end to keep the process running
• make sure that winstone.jar is executable, with chmod 755
• define in the start-server.sh file also where the webapps folder is located (physical location), so winstone knows that
• define in the WEB-INF/classes/data-sources.xml file where the graph is stored (physical location) - the files is within /otp/webapps/opentripplanner-api-webapp.war (or: the deflated war folder)
• kill winstone server (or OTP) process: use

  ps aux | grep winstone

  to find the associated PID, and use kill pid

Unix / Linux / Ubuntu commands

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000623.htm

connect to server

• ssh stefan@136.159.xxx.xxx
• ssh sstein@146.155.xxx.xxx.
• pid
• (sudo) kill pid, e.g. kill 320
• top or: htop
• process
• "sudo shutdown now -h" or "sudo reboot"
• seeing system info: cat /etc/*-release + htop (needs to be installed first)
• grep: search for files in the folder /var/.../static/ that contain the string nav-pills with: grep -r -i "nav-pills" /var/www/geonode/static/
• find files/folders by name: find / -name game

user management commands

  • add new user sudo adduser newuser
  • grant a user sudo privileges: type sudo visudo then search for the line root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL.

  => Now copy and paste this line below, and replace in this new line root by the user's name

  • check in what groups the user is: id username
  • add an existing user "myuser" to group "hallogroup": usermod -a -G hallogroup myuser

• kill process: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/kill-process-in-linux-or-terminate-a-process-in-unix-or-linux-systems/
• configuration info: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-command-to-find-the-system-configuration-and-hardware-information/
• use of grep: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/
• used ports: netstat -a
• mac addresses: ifconfig -a
• usage of disk space (free disc space): df -h
• usage of memory/ram : htop or free -m
• directory size: du -h /home/cedeusdbbackupuser/
• creating an ISO file from a DVD: mount the DVD. If mounted under /dev/sr0 use: sudo cat /dev/sr0 > /home/ssteinig/example.iso

Installing lightweight XFCE Desktop GUI on Ubuntu Server

• use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to install XFCE client (see here).
• this will also install xauth, which allows remote window clients
• disable start of GUI-based login on system startup with Grub (taken from here):
  • Change (edit) in /etc/default/grub file: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
  • then do sudo update-grub
• start the desktop GUI session using startx
• end the desktop GUI session using "logout" button

Enabling Remote Desktop for Windows

got the info from here

• install XRDP: sudo apt-get install xrdp
• connect via Windows Remote Desktop using the IP etc.
• if not needed, switch off the remote desktop server using: sudo service xrdp stop

other stuff

• gdalinfo cgydem_fromgrid.tif
• if computer crashs: boot from a LiveDVD and the run fsck (see http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/08/fsck-command-examples/)
• compress:
  • files by using: zip newzipfile.zip fileToZip.obj
  • whole folders by using: tar -cvzf tarfilename.tgz /folder/to/compress
• uncompress:
  • zip files, using: unzip filename.zip,
  • bz2 files with: bunzip2 filename.bz2
  • tar files: tar -C / -xvzf tarfilename.tgz . Attention !!! This will restore the data exactly in the same place on the computer, and overwrite existing folders and files.
