Linux Noob Reference

Grub not working after Windows 10 installation

Had to do this to recover a forgotten password on an old laptop

After booting, at the Lilo prompt type:

linux single init=/bin/bash rw


And then:
passwd

This worked for me..

Mount share on linux bash:
First create a mount point:
sudo mkdir /MOUNTPOINT
Then mount as follows:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=USERNAME //IP_NUMBER/SHARENAME /MOUNTPOINT

System Information:
To retrieve system information like model and make enter:
dmidecode -t1
Might need sudo

RAM Information:
less /proc/meminfo

groups %username%f.e.groups root

On the source machine:
Step 1.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C %user%@%target% Enter a passphrase if you want, it is not necessary
Step 2.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh %user%@%target% 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

Authorized Keys file on target machine
.ssh/authorized_keys is a file on the target machine and should be mode 600.
