1. To determine whether the rebuttal is necessary. If the scores are too low, just give up.

2. Summarize the questions from reviewers and rank them based on the importance.

3. Pick out the questions which call for experiments and conduct those experiments immediately.

4. When running experiments, draft the response file. Pay attention to the format of response file (e.g., limited characters or one page of pdf, URL allowed or not).

5. In the response file, try to cover all the questions if possible. Otherwise, igore the questions with least importance.

6. The tone of response file cannot be rude and offensive. Be cool and confident.

7. If the maximum number of characters is quite limited, there are many tricks to save space.

apt-get is built on dkpg without saving the deb file. apt-get can solve dependencies and existing software. Note that when using dkpg, dkpg can circumvent apt-get, so apt-get don’t know the software installed by dkpg.

more mature: aptitude (GUI)

aptitude install softname1
aptitude remove softname1

aptitude is also built on dkpg and more powerful than apt-get.

#!/bin/bash at the head of file indicates shell type

1. strict format

   For if [[ $input == "hello" ]], note that the space after [[ and before ]] is very strict, since [[]] can be used for matching regular expression

2. arguments

   • $@: stores all the arguments in a list of string
   • $*: stores all the arguments as a single string
   • $#: stores the number of arguments
   • shift: remove the first argument

When starting login or interative shells, certain files will be executed based on the following tables:

For bash:
login-y interactive-y: profile
login-y interactive-n: profile
login-n interactive-y: bashrc

For zsh:
login-y interactive-y: zshenv zprofile zshrc zlogin
login-y interactive-n: zshenv zprofile zlogin
login-n interactive-y: zshenv zshrc
login-n interactive-n: zshenv

You may fail to log in Ubuntu due to the following reasons:

1. /etc/environment or /etc/profile is modified to a wrong format: Just modify them back.

2. startX is used improperly: run sudo rm -r .Xauthority*

Tips: use Ctr+Alt+F1~6 corresponding to tty 1~6 to use command line

1. $sudo gedit /etc/default/locale

2. modify as follows,

   1 2	LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US:en"

3. $locale-gen -en_US:en

4. log out or reboot

For user-wide: ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc
For system-wide: /etc/profile

source ~/.bashrc or source /etc/profile can make the newly added (not the removed) environment variables for the current cmd window available immediately. However, you need to re-login to make them user-wide or system-wide.

Note that after you sudo su (not using sudo privilege), the environment variables will be lost. You need to re-login. Because sudo su will erase newly exported variables.

For permanent system-wide change even after sudo su, you should modify /etc/environment, which is not recommended. Because /etc/environment cannot recognize intermediate variable such as $JAVA_HOME. Sometimes misusing /etc/environment may result in your failure in login.

Not recommend running sudo su and then modifying ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc.

• crontab -l //list crontab

• crontab -r //remove crontab

• crontab -e //edit crontab

  • minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week cmd
  • each term can be a single number, e.g., 3, or a range, e.g., 3-6, or a set, e.g., 3,5,7, or interval, e.g., */10
  • for example, “ /10 * sh ~/cmd.sh” means executing cmd.sh every 10 minutes.

In windows, the function of contrab can be realized by using “task scheduler”.
