1. Building from source (with python)

cd software
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D BUILD_WITH_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_path> ..
sudo make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<install_path>/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=<install_path>/lib/python3.11/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Ports

To kill everything listening to a port: sudo fuser -k 2121/tcp

Profile

Create a hidden file called .bashrc in your home folder and add aliases for different commands as:

alias something='ssh -Y uder@server.com'

So something will always execute the command ssh -Y uder@server.com.

Screen

Server

ssh -Y user@10.50.17.66 # login
ssh -N -f -L localhost:8889:localhost:8889 user@address # tunneling

Login to server using private key:

  1. Create a private-public ssh key pair.
  2. Your private key should be inside the folder ~/.ssh/
  3. Change permission of the folder: sudo chmod -R 700 ~/.ssh
  4. Then log in: ssh -Y username@server

Users and Groups

Check permissions of a folder ls -ld foldername
See all users of a group grep groupname /etc/group
Give a user write permission to a folder using acl setfacl -m u:username:rwx foldername
Change owner group of a folder chown -R :groupname foldername
Change owner user of a folder chown username: foldername
Change permissions of a folder chmod -R u+w foldername / chmod -R 770 foldername
sudo adduser username
sudo deluser username
sudo addgroup groupname
sudo delgroup groupname
sudo adduser username groupname
getent passwd | cut -d: -f1
getent group

Storage

sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb /media/plato/

GPU

sudo apt autoremove nvidia* --purge
sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall
sudo /usr/local/cuda-X.Y/bin/cuda-uninstall
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
lspci | grep -e VGA
ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
reboot
nvidia-smi

IP setting

ip link
sudo nano /etc/netplan/*.yaml

Create the yaml file the following way:

# This is the network config written by 'subiquity'
