I had to update and upgrade the Ubuntu on my laptop. There are 2 well know options how you can do this.
Using the graphical GUI
# update-manager
Using the text command GUI
# type -a do-release-upgrade
do-release-upgrade is /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade
# dpkg -S /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade
update-manager-core: /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade
root@radexlaptop:/home/radoslaw# do-release-upgrade --help
Usage: do-release-upgrade [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is
possible
-p, --proposed Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader
from $distro-proposed
-m MODE, --mode=MODE Run in a special upgrade mode. Currently 'desktop' for
regular upgrades of a desktop system and 'server' for
server systems are supported.
-f FRONTEND, --frontend=FRONTEND
Run the specified frontend
-s, --sandbox Test upgrade with a sandbox aufs overlay
root@radexlaptop:/home/radoslaw# do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found

Linux trick with grep tool
Command line tools are like grep are very useful when working a lot with text files.
One unknown feature is the --color options which shows you in different colour the matching string grep found.
user@host:~$ egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

Which CPU for XenServer do I need
Citrix XenServer to be able to virtualise Windows OS need some support on the hardware site. You have to have a CPU which bring the "virtualisation feature". It's mean: Intel-VT or Amd-V.
To see if your processor is 64 bit, you can run the following command:
# egrep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
How you can check if your CPU has one of these necessary features:
# egrep --color '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

Small trick with a 'stat' tool in Linux
I used many times 'stat' tool to find out information about a physical file. Normally the output looks like that:
user@host:/tmp$ stat myfile.txt
File: `myfile.txt'
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file
Device: 802h/2050d Inode: 325124 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/radoslaw) Gid: ( 1000/radoslaw)
Access: 2009-11-04 16:15:07.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2009-11-04 16:15:07.000000000 +0100
Change: 2009-11-04 16:15:07.000000000 +0100
There is another very useful options, -f, that shows different information.
user@host:/tmp$ stat -f myfile.txt
File: "myfile.txt"
ID: a0fb1614334b9c81 Namelen: 255 Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096 Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 2460827 Free: 647809 Available: 522804
Inodes: Total: 625856 Free: 407715
In the output you can find a lot of file system related information, like the block size or file system name.
And When you want to find only the file system name you can run:
user@host:/tmp$ stat -f -c "%T" myfile.txt
ext2/ext3
user@host:/tmp$ stat myfile.txt

Linux, date tool trick
How many times did you have to get same date and do something with it. To calculate this dates is very annoying, unless you know a few tricks with date command :).
How to find quickly some dates:
$ date -d yesterday
$ date -d '2 days ago'
$ date -d '1 week ago'
$ date -d tomorrow
$ date -d '2 days'
$ date -d '1 week'
For example, when did you born:
$ date
Di 12 Aug 11:44:57 CEST 2008
$ date -d "11 days ago 7 month ago 28 years ago"
Di 1 Jan 10:43:49 CET 1980

Configuration Management and DB2 parameters
Configuration Management is one of the most important thing in problem and incident management. Even in a simple situation when our db server with important db's will totally demanded we will need some "secured", high tuned parameters for db, application or for the operating system.
To be able to collect this db parameters we can write some simple script which will do this for us. The most important thing in this script that we need to thing about are: looking and deadlock situation in the db.
For IBM db2 we can use following peace of code in Perl, which will use "uncommitted lock" during the connection with db to get the db parameters:

Linux, find tool trick
Many times when you are working with some application which create some lock/log/shared/record files you want to know what is happening for a sort time ago for example. The quick trick with the find tool allow you to find for example all files which ware created/changed for _xyz_ minutes ago.

Potential problems with "Write Back Caching"
For the modern hd drives there is something what can make some problems when the operating system crushed. It is also got to know for troubleshooting and tuning of os and application like data base for example.
Try it for your self:
# man hdparm
# man sdparm
To disable write cache execute:
#hdparm -W0 /dev/hdX | device
#sdparm --set WCE=0
To enable write cache execute:
#hdparm -W1 device
#sdparm --set WCE=1
# sdparm -a -e /dev/sda
# sdparm --page=ca --long /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ATA Hitachi HTS72201 DCDO
Direct access device specific parameters: WP=0 DPOFUA=0
Caching (SBC) [ca] mode page:
IC 0 Initiator control
ABPF 0 Abort pre-fetch
CAP 0 Caching analysis permitted
DISC 0 Discontinuity
SIZE 0 Size enable
WCE 1 Write cache enable
MF 0 Multiplication factor
RCD 0 Read cache disable
DRRP 0 Demand read retention priority
WRP 0 Write retention priority
DPTL 0 Disable pre-fetch transfer length
MIPF 0 Minimum pre-fetch
MAPF 0 Maximum pre-fetch
MAPFC 0 Maximum pre-fetch ceiling
FSW 0 Force sequential write
LBCSS 0 Logical block cache segment size
DRA 0 Disable read ahead
NV_DIS 0 Non-volatile cache disable
NCS 0 Number of cache segments
CSS 0 Cache segment size

So, to recover plain text data one can simply do a brute force grep of the
filesystem to find a unique string in the deleted file. My Fortran files all
contained a unique string, the name of a module I wrote called
“auxpf_filter.” Thus, using the following command I was able to eventually
find the files I needed.
