Linux Systems Guides
  • Mount NFS from Truenas

    mkdir -p /media/rick/pool1
    
    chown -R rick:rick  /media/rick/pool1
    

    Add the automount to: /etc/fstab

    truenas.thecave:/mnt/pool1   /media/rick/pool1   nfs    user,auto    0   0
    

    Retstart Nautilus to see the share in files:

    killall nautilus
    

    For other shares, just repeat the same process under directory ‘media’ with the name of the share substituted

FreeBSD Notes
  • Unable to negotiate with 10.10.1.35 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

    While attempting ssh this error is generally due to mismatched versions of ssh, where an up to date version is attempting to access an older version

    Add the following to your command :

    The proper way:

    ssh -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss 10.10.1.35

    The cheap way:

    Example :

    ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss 10.10.1.35

    or ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss user@10.10.1.35

    This can be added to the ~/.ssh/config file

    Host my-server HostName 10.10.1.35 HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss

  • Screen recording can use webm as their format, it can be more simple to use a gif to embed into a website or forum, than adding scripts to host different video format.

    In this case I grabbed a screen record of the progress for writing zeros to a hard drive with dd

    Use ffmpeg to convert webm to gif:

    First create a pallet:

    Move into the directory which the webm is located, or type in the path

    Where ‘dd.webm’ is the screen recording

    ffmpeg -y -i dd.webm -vf palettegen palette.png

    Output:

    dd-ffmpeg.png

    Then convert the webm to gif:

    ffmpeg -y -i dd.webm -i palette.png -filter_complex paletteuse -r 10 dd.gif

    dd-webm-2.png

    This is what I ended up with, looks like any image of any alien on the interwebz, as if shot through a potato, some tweaking of the command is in my future. None the less.

  • Write zeros to all sectors

    Use the command ‘lsblk’ to find the drive you wish to erase

    I’m using ‘dd’ to erase things

    In this case I’m torching sdb

    Only use status=progress if you care it’s not necessary

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=12M status=progress

  • Remove old kernel images that are cluttering the system

    zstd-no-space-error.png

    Most of these errors are due to low or not enough space left in the root partition.

    If you are using a Debian flavor:

    sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

    zstd-error.png

    Inform grub whenever an old kernel is removed:

    update-grub

    update-grub.png

    Remove the un-used kernel config files:

    These will be the files pre cursed as ‘rc’ where installed kernels use ‘ii’

    … As well as files no longer used or required due to dependencies

    This command will detect, print, and remove left over cruft from previously installed packages or scripts, that have been removed or updated.

    sudo dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}')

    purge.png

    You can re-run the following to view the installed kernel(s):

    dpkg --list | grep linux-image

    installed-kernels.png
