Line 1: Line 1:
 +====== Linux commands, tools and fixes ======
 +This is the place I jot down solutions or nice bash commands and tools.
  
 +==== Good tools ====
 +  * btop for view resources and killing processes
 +  * tldr for a short tl;dr version of manuals
 +  * mc (midnight commander) for CLI file management
 +
 +''sudo apt install btop tldr mc''
 +
 +**or**
 +
 +''sudo dnf install btop tldr mc''
 +
 +==== Disable Hibernate ====
 +In case Hibernate causes your computer to crash, disabling it will also remove the option from all menus.
 +
 +''sudo systemctl mask hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target''
 +
 +Use ''unmask'' to reenable and ''status'' to see if it's enabled.
 +
 +==== KDE Plasma accent border ====
 +Changing the border color makes it easier to identify current window. This is convinient if title bars are removed.
 +
 +  - Open ~/.config/kdeglobals with your favorite editor
 +  - Scroll down and find [WM] section
 +  - Append the followings to the section:
 +  - ''frame=61,174,233: set the border color of active window to RGB(61,174,233)''
 +  - ''inactiveFrame=239,240,241: set the border color of inactive window to RGB(239,240,241)''
 +
 +**Note:** the RGB values presented here are for the default Breeze theme
 +
 +**Note:** You might also need to set the border size larger than the theme's default: **System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations**. Large borders are nice.
 +
 +But honestly, better to use a good pre made Window Decoration:
 +  * Bart
 +  * Ned
 +
 +==== Better ls ====
 +  * Download [[https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/releases|lf]] from GitHub
 +  * ''usudo tar xf ~/Downloads/lf-linux-386.tar.gz --directory /usr/local/bin''
 +  * ''nano ~/.bashrc''
 +  * Add ''alias lsf="cd \"$(lf -print-last-dir)\""''
