This section a starting point for notes on Linux packages, namely Debian and Ubuntu packages. Focus here is on userland software, and which packages are needed to set up various tools sets in a working Unix / Linux environment . . .



Document editing and assorted packages

^ Postfix



^ Linux packages for Raspberry Pi system




^ Logitech wireless devices and unifying receiver

Open source Ubuntu-available program `solaar` works. But why on 2017-12-09 did Mediawiki text seach for 'unify' fail to give any results on this wiki site?



^ sudo

Ted noting sudo manual page URL here, in order to revisit and read about sudo -e as well as sudo invoked with the -l and -v options. Also noting there is an environment variable sometimes set, variable named $SUDO_USER.



^ parted partition editor

Some excerpts from parted use on LFS volume . . .


(parted) print /dev/sdb                                                   
Model: ATA ST3160812AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system  Flags
 1      32.3kB  107MB   107MB   primary   ext4         boot
 2      107MB   7789MB  7682MB  extended
 5      107MB   7789MB  7682MB  logical   ext4

   .
   .
   .

Well one thing Ted noting is that parted cannot resize file systems, which are the structured data which overlay and live in partitions. The partition is one thing, mapped in a partition table somewhere on the physical disk or volume. The file system on a given partition is another thing, contained and bounded within that partition. Resizing the partition doesn't resize the file system. So which tool can deal with resizing a partition on which an ext4 file system exists? And then permit a next, independent step to resize the file system there? - TMH



^ GRUB2 - Grand Unified Boot Loader
