Xinit's precedence order after invoked with startx

Part I

"If you log in in text mode then start a GUI session with xinit or with the wrapper script startx, then xinit does the following things:

  • Start an X server (typically through the script /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc).
  • Usually run some scripts in /etc/X11 (typically /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc), depending on how it's set up.
  • Run ~/.xinitrc, if it exists. If it doesn't exist, run a default client (traditionally xterm).
  • Once ~/.xinitrc terminates, kill the X server.

If you log in in graphical mode on an X display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm, lightdm, …), traditionally, what is executed after you log in is some scripts in /etc/X11 then ~/.xsession.

How to make Windows 7 USB flash install media from Linux?

How to make Windows 7 USB flash install media from Linux?

StackOverflow

  • Install ms-sys - if it is not in your repositories, get it here. Or alternatively, make sure lilo is installed (but do not run the liloconfig step on your local box if e.g. Grub is installed there!)
  • Check what device your USB media is assigned - here we will assume it is /dev/sdb. Delete all partitions, create a new one taking up all the space, set type to NTFS (7), and remember to set it bootable:
# cfdisk /dev/sdb
or fdisk /dev/sdb (partition type 7, and bootable flag)

simplify the output of iw scan
# Based off this answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/17880517/1172409
# Ideally one wouldn't parse the output of iw scan (it may be subject to change),
# but dealing with learning libnl which iw uses seems overly complicated - more so than updating this in case iw does change.
# A few things that could be improved:
# Better padding solution for prettier pretty printing.
# Sort APs based off signal strength from best to worst.
# Usage - iw must be run as root (suggestion: add as an alias in bashrc):
# iw wlp8s0 scan | awk -f scan.awk
