Launch Windows Admin Tools from the Command Line

You can access admin tools in Windows consoles instead of from the Start menu. But you can also open these console from the command line if you know their .msc filenames. This can be especially useful if you log on to your admin workstation using a limited privilege account and use Runas command to perform admin tasks.

First we need to execute windows cmd, this is the shorcuts:

For normal prompt, follow these steps:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
WinKey+R
Input "cmd".
Enter
.
For elevated (administrator) prompt, follow these steps:

WinKey (Start Menu opens on the left-bottom corner)
Input "cmd".
Ctrl+Shift+Enter
------------------------------------------------------------------------

For reference, here's a list of admin tools with their associated .msc files. You can print this out and tape it on the wall beside your workstation until you memorize the ones you use most commonly.

Tips Install Java on Ubuntu using Apt-Get command

1)Installing default JRE/JDK

This is the recommended and easiest option. This will install OpenJDK 6 on Ubuntu 12.04 and earlier and on 12.10+ it will install OpenJDK 7.

Installing Java with apt-get is easy. First, update the package index:

sudo apt-get update

Then, check if Java is not already installed:

java -version

If it returns "The program java can be found in the following packages", Java hasn't been installed yet, so execute the following command:

sudo apt-get install default-jre

This will install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you instead need the Java Development Kit (JDK), which is usually needed to compile Java applications (for example Apache Ant, Apache Maven, Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA execute the following command:

sudo apt-get install default-jdk

That is everything that is needed to install Java.

2)Setting the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable

To set the JAVA_HOME environment variable, which is needed for some programs, first find out the path of your Java installation:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

usually the path should be in /usr/lib/jvm/

Copy the path from your preferred installation and then edit the file /etc/environment:

sudo nano /etc/environment

In this file, add the following line (replacing YOUR_PATH by the just copied path):

JAVA_HOME="YOUR_PATH"

That should be enough to set the environment variable. Now reload this file:

source /etc/environment

Test it by executing:

echo $JAVA_HOME

Console2: Awesome Windows Command Prompt replacement

Console2 is opensource, meaning that as long any developer around the world can work on it and it will never dead for a long time.

Download Console2 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/files/ and put it in c:\dev\utils and configure that location in the PATH.

Now I had the files extracted as in my PATH C:\dev\utils\Console2. A lot of features in console2 such as tabs, copy on select etc.

Configure it as you like or you all can follow the references setting in the link below.

Fix samsung error: E:failed to mount / efs (Invalid argument)

I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5100 with error E:failed to mount / efs (Invalid argument) whenever I run a wipe cache or wipe factory in recovery. I did stuck in a samsung logo. This looping is a common nightmare for a Samsung devices.

There is a fix for this error. Follow this steps:

Ready a ROM(I use Pac Man ROM) in your microSD and insert into device.

1) Download and flash official firmware for your phone using Odin.
2) Root and flash custom recovery(I use TWRP) using Odin
3) Install ADB on your computer(Usually by installing Samsung USB driver)
4) Boot into recovery mode(hold up+power button)
5) Connect phone to PC via USB Cable
6) In recovery mode Choose “mount and storage > mount /system”(In TWRP, just tick the 'system')
7) At PC, open ADB command window and type :

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/efs.img
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs

DON'T REBOOT YET, Now /efs is mounted don't unmount it.

Do a factory reset

Install your new rom, It should install without any errors

Boot your phone,  After it boots your signal notification most likely will be gray and internet or calls may not work. To fix just install gapps and it will be fixed.

If you don't have phone, try this:

Go back into recovery and get adb access. Then run this command:

sumke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3mkdir /efsmount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efsdd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096reboot

This command will create a generic EFS files on your device.
Now normally your device will reboot and it should pass Samsung logo.
Your device might display a screen with a yellow text (FactoryMode)

If your device display a annoying transparency black background which contains some info about your device (PDA, Phone, CSC, H/W, Camera, …) in yellow text … and lock screen is not working, mean that your device is in factory mode.

“Factory Mode” is enabled if the EFS partition is corrupted because of installing custom ROMs, bad Mods or downgrading your current system version or after you succeeded in fixing the EFS partition.

Follow this step to exit FactoryMode:

1) Install root browser
2) Go to Local > / Device > efs > FactoryApp and open factorymode as text in “ES Note Editor”
3) Change it from OFF to ON and save it
4) Open keystr as text in “ES Note Editor”, change it from OFF to ON and save it
5) Reboot

Alternative solution by using Terminal Emulator.
1) Install “Terminal Emulator“
2) Type :

su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

Finally! I manage to upgrade my current Ubuntu to latest Ubuntu 14.10

Very frustrated at first...finally manage to do it correctly. This is the step I do.

Do run all this command in order.

1. PREPARATION

sudo apt-get clean

or,

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get -f install
If the output is:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

That means it failed.

Next solution is to run:

sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade

All ok if output:
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

1. UPGRADE/INSTALLATION

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

Trust is not an option, you had to research the Truth to Trust

Inspire from Antitrust film. There is a lot of insspiring quotes that inspire me such as

"Human knowledge belongs to the world"

"Truth can be dangerous…Trust can be deadly"

"The answer's not in the box, it's in the band."

well, from me... "Trust is not an option, you had to research the Truth to Trust"

Assalamualaikum and enjoy my articles.
