This problem has been bugging me for some time. I am currently running the XFCE spinoff of Fedora 42, and I have multiple workspaces set up. If I click a link on my workspace that has my e-mail client, it steals the browser my Browser-workspace, and moves it to my e-mail workspace. The fix? Pretty simple.
I encountered a server that did not have netcat or telnet installed, and I needed to check the connectivity against a server on a certain port. How did I solve this? There are multiple options!
I have an old iPhone that contains around 3-4000 images. For ages I have been wanting to transfer the images to my PC, and I did attempt it several times on Windows, with iTunes, and some other software. No such luck, as it either crashed or did not transfer all of the images. Needless to say the issue contributed to more of my hairs going grey. However! In Linux, it took me minutes!
I have a HP Elitebook 840 G7 that I use along with a HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2. Now, this has been working fine in Windows, but when I changed to Fedora, not so much. I had to plug in my HDMI cable directly to the laptop, and not the docking station. It just wasn't working. This is what I did to fix the issue.
I had an issue recently where I had to debug why a request to a website was taking such a long time. After a bit of searching around, I found the following bit of code:
I have been working with Linux for years, and I've always used screen when working in the terminal. I even wrote a small introduction to screen over 10 years ago.
So you can imagine my surprise when I at a very late point found out about tmux. It has completely changed the way I work, and boy do I love it.
I am hopefully going to take the second half of my RHCE exam this year, which is EX294. I have taken inspiration from and , and have decided to provide my own answers and explanations as I myself prepare for the exam.
I’ve also only used 4 VM’s in total, 1 controller and 3 nodes, and not 4 nodes as the practice exam suggests.
Here are the tips that I’ve found helpful so far:
I’ve been using vim as my editor of choice ever since I started learning Linux, and something that has been bothering me for a while is how vim handles pasting.
and the result:
It listens on all IPv4 interfaces, and binds to the port you specify, which in my case is 8080. The person on the other side will then be able to access the files in the directory from the outside by going to http://server1.example.com:8080, provided that your machine has the hostname server1.example.com, and that you have the port 8080 forwarded to the IP of server1.
For a while now I’ve been trying to set up VMware to work with multiple monitors, in a Linux guest. With some windowmanagers it works out of the box without any issue, such as with Unity. I never figured out how to do it with xmonad, and recently I switched to i3 just to try something new. The damn “Cycle multiple monitors” button didn’t work here either. When I tried it, a message popped up saying:
The virtual machine must have up-to-date VMware Tools installed and running.
