How to
1) untar files:
|
1 |
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz |
2) create desktop shortcut:
|
1 |
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop |
3) switch g++ compilers (assuming you have more than one)
|
1 |
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc |
4) shutdown from terminal
|
1 |
shutdown -h now |
5) find the ubuntu version
|
1 |
lsb_release -a |
6) Switching workspaces
While most Ubuntu users may know that ctrl+arrows is a quick way to navigate through the different workspaces, fewer may know that ctrl+shift+arrows is also transferring the currently active window to the new workspace.
7) Move files recursively
Lets suppose we want to move all files with *.bin suffix from the current directory to a different one (e.g. ../Results/). The following command does the trick
|
1 |
find $PWD -name '*.bin' -exec mv {} ../Results/ \; |
