is there a cheatsheet for linux commands to save your system?
- by Asaf
I've recently lost my window options, had to somehow manipulate my way to Xchat and ask some people how do I get it back (it was metacity --replace, and after I decided to stop the command and run it in background the X was completely useless so I had to do killall -u user).
And that was after the internet connection stopped working for some reason (might've been the ISP)
..The thing is, after using linux a long time, I still get the feeling
that on dire situations, I don't know the good tricks (stuff like metacity --replace)
I feel like a really need like a "rescue" cheatsheet for things like
"how to save the X no matter what without pressing reset" and
"how to reset the system to "normal state""
"how to connect to the internet through the command line"
"how to monitor what the X is doing"
(using ubuntu linux 10.04 btw)
