The Docker daemon starts automatically.

Verify the installation.. with the following command...

sudo docker run hello-world

shivaraj@shivaraj-Aspire-A315-21:~$ sudo docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world 9db2ca6ccae0: Pull complete Digest: sha256:4b8ff392a12ed9ea17784bd3c9a8b1fa3299cac44aca35a85c90c5e3c7afacdc Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://hub.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/ shivaraj@shivaraj-Aspire-A315-21:~$

Installing phpMyAdmin in Ubuntu 16.04

phpMyAdmin is an open source tool used for the administration/management of MySQL or MariaDB with the use of a web browser. In addition to offering the capability to perform administration tasks such as creating, editing, or deleting databases, and managing users and permissions, phpMyAdmin provides a graphical user interface to do all of these tasks and more. Here, we are going to see how to install, up and run phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 16.04.

Install phpMyAdmin

Before you start installing phpmyadmin, install PHP, apache and MySql or similar Db..

Then.. Run following command .. to install phpMyadmin on your Ubuntu installation...

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt install phpmyadmin

Continue with typing Y once the installation prompts you with Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Like in the image below.

Now we are prompted with dialog selecting our web server, in our case we are selecting apache2 like shown below.

Select <Yes> as we just want a basic installation like shown below.

Now provide a password for phpMyAdmin to use. So that it can register with the MySQL database itself. (Need not to be the same as the MySQL root user)

Enter in the phpMyAdmin password you created in last step to confirm it as follows.

phpMyAdmin is now installed, but, still we have a few more things to do.

Testing phpMyAdmin

Now we will test phpMyAdmin! Open your favorite Web Browser..
and Navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

If you end up with a page that looks like one shown below... means, phpMyadmin was installed successfully on your system..

Now lets login, the default username for phpMyAdmin is root and the password is what you have entered while installing phpMyadmin... Enter as follows.

Username: root

Password: What you selected earlier

Select Go to login.

Installing ElasticSearch On ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04

Updated On DEC 2016: Installation Script In Method 2 updated for installation of elastic search 5.x

Elasticsearch is a highly scalable open-source full-text search and analytics engine build on top of Apache Lucene(A free and open-source information retrieval software library). It allows you to store, search, and analyze big volumes of data quickly and in near real time. It is generally used as the underlying engine/technology that powers applications that have complex search features and requirements.

Here we are going to see, How to install and setup elasticsearch on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 and 14.04..
Here I am going to show you two ways to install elasticsearch on Ubuntu Linux..

The first one is manual installation of elasticsearch.. You have to follow instructions one by one ..
The second one is an easy way, there we use shell-script to install the elasticsearch as it would take care of all things.. The script will install and setup elasticsearch for you..

Installation :

Method 1 :

First things first, Before we start to install elasticsearch, we need to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE).. because Elasticsearch itself written in the Java. (Elasticsearch requires Java 7 or higher).
This step shows you how to install OpenJDK-8.
First, update the list of available packages by running apt-get update.

sudo apt-get update

Then, install OpenJDK with the command:

For Ubuntu 16.04 :

sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

For Ubuntu 14.04 :

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:openjdk-r/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

To verify your JRE is installed and can be used, run the command: java -version

The result should look like this:

openjdk version "1.8.0_91" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

If You Have Already Installed Version of JAVA in Your System.. Please Set OpenJDK 8 as Default Version.. Otherwise you may encounter problems while starting elasticsearch.. You can configure multiple versions of java by running following command.. sudo update-alternatives --config java Now, select apropriate version of JAVA..
to verify the java version run.. java -version

Download and Install Elasticsearch :

Elasticsearch can be downloaded directly from official site as zip, tar.gz and deb

I will recommend.. Installing from zip or tar archive.. Because as far as I knew it is the best way to get Elasticsearch on Ubuntu ... from my experience the another way (installing from .deb) is very worst... has many nasty issues(tried on Ubuntu 16.04)..

Download the archive

cd && wget https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/zip/elasticsearch/2.3.5/elasticsearch-2.3.5.zip

The above command downloads the zip archive, make sure that you have unzip installed in your system... if don't have installed unzip in your system.. run the following command.. to install unzip

sudo apt-get install unzip

Now unzip/decompress the downloaded archive.. you can do this with command given below..

unzip elasticsearch-2.3.5.zip

Move Extracted/unzipped directory to /opt :

We don't want to pollute our home folder and make it ugly with too many folders apart from default one.. and moving elasticsearch to /opt directory will also make it available to other users in your system too..

If you already have directory named elasticsearch-* in your /opt directory you will/may encounter problems while trying to move our newly extracted folder into /opt . so better remove them before you move our new elasticsearch folder into /opt. to do this run following command.... sudo rm -r /opt/elasticsearch-2*

Now move newly extracted elasticsearch directory to /opt with following command..

sudo mv elasticsearch-2.3.5/ /opt/

Now your elasticsearch is ready to use, You can run it with following command..

/opt/elasticsearch-2.3.5/bin/elasticsearch

But it's so convenient, if we can able to start it from commandline.. by simply typing 'elasticsearch' .. just like normal system commands.. to do so.. we have to create a symbolic link for elasticsearch in /bin folder.. Run following commands....

First remove symbolic link if one already exists..

sudo rm /bin/elasticsearch

now.. create new symbolic link ...

sudo ln -s /opt/elasticsearch-2.3.5/bin/elasticsearch /bin/

That's it .. now you can start elasticsearch just by typing "elasticsearch" in your terminal window..

Now the other method (method 2) show you the easiest way of getting elasticsearch up and running on your Ubuntu installation..

Method 2 :

In this method ... You just need to run the following code ... the script will take care of remaining things..

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shivarajnaidu/UV-Shell-Scripts/master/ElasticSearch-Installation-Scripts/elasticsearch-installation-script-for-ubuntu.sh | bash -s

Update :

The installation script is updated to support installation of elasticsearch v5.x. If you want to install elasticsearch 5.x, just run above command with argument '5' (with out quotes).

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shivarajnaidu/UV-Shell-Scripts/master/ElasticSearch-Installation-Scripts/elasticsearch-installation-script-for-ubuntu.sh | bash -s 5

Test your Elasticsearch installation

Start elasticsearch by typing "elasticsearch" on your command-line..
Let's ensure that everything is working well... open terminal and Run following..

elasticsearch

Elasticsearch should now be running on port 9200. Do note that Elasticsearch takes some time to fully start, so running the curl command below or checking from browser immediately might fail. It shouldn't take longer than ten seconds to start responding, so if the below command fails, something else is likely wrong. Ensure the server is started by running

To test elasticsearch run following command in terminal..

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

or even you can check from your web browser by visiting http://localhost:9200

if elasticsearch works well.. You should see the following response..

shivaraj@shivaraj-A14RM0E:~$ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200' { "name" : "Suicide", "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "version" : { "number" : "2.3.5", "build_hash" : "90f439ff60a3c0f497f91663701e64ccd01edbb4", "build_timestamp" : "2016-07-27T10:36:52Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "5.5.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } shivaraj@shivaraj-A14RM0E:~$

Hi friends, If you found any issue or typo error, please feel free to report it.. You can either open an issue on github or you can also report it on our Facebook Page via message (www.fb.com/opensourceinside) .

How To Install/Enable RPM Fusion Repositories On Fedora , RHEL And CentOS

RPM Fusion is a software repository that offers various free or non-free add-on packages that do not ship with the original Fedora distribution. RPM Fusion contains various useful packages that are not included in the Fedora distribution just because they do not meet Fedora's free software requirements. In this post, I will explain how to set up RPM Fusion repository on Fedora or CentOS. Once RPM Fusion is enabled on your system, you can install any package available from the repository simply by using yum command. First of all, to check whether or not RPM Fusion is installed on your system, run the following command.

yum repolist | grep rpmfusion

If the above command does not produce any result, it means that RPM Fusion is not installed on your system. RPM Fusion maintains two separate repositories for free and non-free packages. You can selectively enable either or both repositories as you want.

Set up RPM Fusion on Fedora

For Fedora 14 to Fedora 21 :

To enable the free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

To enable the non-free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

For Fedora 22 and later:

To enable the free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

To enable the non-free repository of RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'

Set up RPM Fusion on CentOS/RHEL

In order to install RPM fusion on CentOS, you first need to enable EPEL repository first. After that, proceed as follows to set up RPM Fusion on CentOS/RHEL.

To enable the free/non-free repositories of RPM Fusion on RHEL 6 or CentOS 6:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/6/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-1.noarch.rpm

To enable the free/non-free repositories of RPM Fusion on RHEL 5 or CentOS 5:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/5/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-5-1.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/updates/5/i386/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-5-1.noarch.rpm

Please Run sudo dnf check-update (for feedora 22 and later) and sudo yum update (for fedora older releases..and RHEL/CentOS) once after enabling RPM Fusion Repos.

How To Enable EPEL Repository on RHEL/CentOS

If you are using CentOS or RHEL, it is strongly recommended that you enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository on your system. EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is a volunteer-based community effort from the Fedora project to create a repository of high-quality add-on packages that complement the Fedora-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its compatible spinoffs, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux. Once you set up EPEL repository, you can use yum / dnf command to install software packages from EPEL repos.

EPEL provide lots of packages for CentOS / RHEL, It is not part of RedHat or CentOS but is designed to work with these major distributions. Please note that EPEL only provides free and open source software unencumbered by patents or any legal issues. In short you will not find mp3, dvd and music / media player under EPEL. However, you will find many programs related to networking, monitoring, sys admin, programming and so on.

You can get Non-free softwares by install/enable RPM Fusion repository on your Fedora/CentOS/RHEL or other derivative systems.

Now see How to enable it on various versions of RHEL/CentOS :

For RHEL7/CentOS 7

RHEL7/CentOS 7 users can install EPEL repos by running following command..

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

OR
Simply , by running..

sudo yum install epel-release.noarch

For RHEL6/CentOS 6

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

For RHEL5/CentOS 5

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-5.noarch.rpm

Some Important Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu Linux On Your System

Ubuntu Linux is one of the popular and most used Linux operating system backed by Canonical.

Requirements vary from person to person, depending upon whether the person is experienced Ubuntu user, a novice user, an artist or a programmer, but most of the things listed here are essential after a clean install of Ubuntu. Without wasting time anymore, let's have a look at must to do things after installing Ubuntu on your system.

1 . Change software sources and update your system:

First and foremost thing to do after installing Ubuntu is to change the software sources and add Canonical Partners in it. This will increase the number of applications and programs in your repository and you can easily install them via Software Center or command line.

Open Unity Dash (press Super/Windows key) and search for Software & Updates:

Open it and in Other Software tab, make sure that Canonical Partners is checked.

Or simply issue following command ... to do all the above things in single command..

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"

Doing this will update your repository. It takes some time in doing so. Once done, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command:

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

The above command will update your system.

2 . Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras for media codecs:

"Ubuntu restricted extras" is a package of several codecs that are not installed by default in Ubuntu system. The reason why these these codecs are not included by default is legal constraints in many countries. Canonical cannot include them by default but if you install these codecs, it is you who would be held responsible for the usage and not Ubuntu. Don't worry it's safe to install these codecs. With these codecs installed, you can play different media formats such as MP3, MP4, AVI and several other formats without any trouble. Install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

3 . Install VLC media player:

Let me confess, I cannot imagine using my personal computer without VLC media player. It's the best out there. It can download subtitles automatically, you can manually synchronize the subs, you can watch online videos with subtitles with VLC and now you can enable desktop notification for VLC in Ubuntu. Use the following command to install VLC:

sudo apt-get install vlc

4 . Play encrypted DVD in Ubuntu :

Enable encrypted DVD playback in Ubuntu using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

5 . Install rar ,unrar and 7zip:

To avoid error like "There is no command installed for RAR archive files" or "There is an error occured while opening RAR archive files" install RAR and 7zip using the following command:

sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip

6 . Improve battery life and reduce overheating:

Overheating of laptops is a common issue, not only in Ubuntu but in any operating systems. Overheating also affects the battery life. Until Ubuntu 12.10, Jupiter was the best tool to reduce overheating, but since its development has stopped, you can use TLP or CPUFREQ instead of Jupiter. Install TLP using the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linrunner/tlp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw && sudo tlp start

See How To Reduse Power Consuption and Overheating in Linux systems

7 . Tweak Unity and Gnome:

Not satisfied with the default looks of Ubuntu? You can always tweak it. Ubuntu System Settings gives you plenty of option for tweaking, Unity Tweak Tool and Gnome Tweak Tool (for Gnome users) are excellent tools to tweak the appearance to any extent.

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool gnome-tweak-tool

8 . Install Google Chrome

Google Chrome is not only one of the more popular, fastest, and most reliable browsers available, but it also includes a pre-packed and fully patched version of Adobe Flash and a huge array of extensions and apps.

If Your using 64 bit OS :

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

If your using 32 bit :

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

9 . Install Sublime Text & Atom Text Editor:

Sublime Text is a cross-platform text editor with a Python application programming interface (API). It natively supports many programming languages and markup languages, and its functionality can be extended by users with plugins, typically community-built and maintained under free-software licenses

Installation :

See How to install latest version of sublime text 3 in Ubuntu

And Atom Text Editor is a another nice and feature rich cross platform open source text editor, developed by GitHub. Atom is a desktop application built using web technologies. Atom is based on Electron (formerly known as Atom Shell), a framework that enables cross-platform desktop applications using Chromium and Node.js. It can also be used as an IDE.

Installation :

See , How to install Atom text editor on Ubuntu.

10 . Install Image Applications

If you are a photography enthusiast and you want to handle and manipulate images on Ubuntu, probably you want to install the following imaging programs:

1. GIMP (alternative for Adobe Photoshop)
2. Darktable
3. Rawtherapee
4. Pinta
5. Shotwell
6. Inkscape (alternative for Adobe Illustrator)
7. Digikam

This applications can be installed from Software Center or all at once by using the following command line on Terminal:

sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-plugin-registry gimp-data-extras darktable rawtherapee pinta shotwell inkscape

11 . Install Brasero(Disk Burning Program) :

Ubuntu Is Everywhere - Infographic

This infographic shows the reach of Ubuntu from International Space Station to your laptop

This is according to Canonical, which is celebrating the upcoming Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release

Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating system and distribution for personal computers, smartphones and network servers. It uses Unity as its default user interface. It is based on free software and named after the Southern African philosophy of ubuntu (literally, “human-ness”), which often is translated as “humanity towards others” or “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”.

The popularity of Ubuntu is such that it is used on International space station and is behind the world’s largest supercomputer. It runs the servers of popular online services like Netflix, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, Dropbox, PayPal, Wikipedia, and Instagram, in Google, Tesla, George Hotz, and Uber cars. It is also employed at Bloomberg, Weta Digital and Walmart.The Brigham Young University is using Ubuntu to control the Mars Rover.

To celebrate the forthcoming Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, due for release later this month, on April 21, Canonical took the time to put together a very nice infographic, showing the world how popular Ubuntu is across the world.

“To celebrate our upcoming 16.04 LTS we wanted to shine a bit of light on how many people in the world actually use Ubuntu,” said Alexia Emmanoulopoulou, Demand Generation Marketing Manager, Canonical. “The reality is, hundreds of millions of PCs, servers, devices, virtual machines, and containers have booted Ubuntu to date and are in use!”

Test Drive Linux With Nothing But A Flash Drive

Maybe you've heard about Linux and are intrigued by it. So intrigued that you want to give it a try. But you might not know where to begin.

You've probably done a bit of research online and have run across terms like dual booting and virtualization. Those terms might mean nothing to you, and you're definitely not ready to sacrifice the operating system that you're currently using to give Linux a try. So what can you do ?

If you have a USB flash drive lying around, you can test drive Linux by creating a live USB. It's a USB flash drive that contains an operating system that can start from the flash drive. It doesn't take much technical ability to create one. Let's take a look at how to do that and how to run Linux using a live USB.

What you'll need

Aside from a desktop or laptop computer, you'll need:

• A blank USB flash drive - preferably one that has a capacity of 4 GB or more.
• An ISO image (an archive of the contents of a hard disk) of the Linux distribution that you want to try. More about this in a moment.
• An application called Unetbootin, an open source tool, cross platform tool that creates a live USB. You don't need to be running Linux to use it.

Now See...

How To Create Live USB(bootable USB) using Unetbootin : #

Plug your flash drive into a USB port on your computer and then fire up Unetbootin.

Remember the ISO image that was mentioned a few moments ago? There are two ways you can get one: either by downloading it from the website of the Linux distribution that you want to try, or by having Unetbootin download it for you. To do that latter, click Select Distribution at the top of the window, choose the distribution that you want to download, and then click Select Version to select the version of the distribution that you want to try.

Or , you can download the distribution yourself. Usually, the Linux distributions that I want to try aren't in the list. If you go the second route, click Disk image and then click the button to search for the .iso file that you downloaded.

Notice the Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only) option? If you're testing Ubuntu or one of its derivatives (like Lubuntu or Xubuntu), you can set aside a few megabytes of space on your flash drive to save files like web browser bookmarks or documents that you create. When you load Ubuntu from the flash drive again, you can reuse those files.

Once the ISO image is loaded, click OK. It takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to 10 minutes for Unetbootin to create the live USB.

Testing out the live USB

This is the point where you have to embrace your inner geek a bit. Not too much, but you will be taking a peek into the innards of your computer by going into the BIOS. Your computer's BIOS starts various bits of hardware and controls where the computer's operating system starts, or boots, from.

The BIOS usually looks for the operating system in this order (or something like it): hard drive, then CD-ROM or DVD drive, and then an external drive. You'll want to change that order so that the external drive (in this case, your live USB) is the one that the BIOS checks first.

To do that, restart your computer with the flash drive plugged into a USB port. When you see the message Press F2 to enter setup, do just that. On some computers, the key might be F10.

In the BIOS, use the right arrow key on your keyboard to navigate to the Boot menu. You'll see a list of drives on your computer. Use the down arrow key on your keyboard to navigate to the item labeled USB HDD and then move that item to the top of the list.

Once you've done that, press F10 to save the changes. (Note : Keys mentioned in this post for BIOS might be slightly different for computers from different manufacturers . so check out them.) You'll be kicked out of the BIOS and your computer will start up. After a short amount of time, you'll be presented with a menu listing the options for starting the Linux distribution you're trying out. Select Run without installing (or the menu item closest to it).

Once the desktop loads, you can connect to a wireless or wired network, browse the web, and give the pre-installed software a whirl. You can also check to see if, for example, your printer or scanner works with the Linux distribution you're testing. If you really, really want to you can also fiddle at the command line.

What to expect

Depending on the Linux distribution you're testing and the speed of the flash drive you're using, the operating system might take longer to load and it might run a bit slower than it would if it was installed on your hard drive.

As well, you'll only have the basic software that the Linux distribution packs out of the box. You generally get a web browser, a word processor, a text editor, a media player, an image viewer, and a set of utilities. That should be enough to give you a feel for what it's like to use Linux.

If you decide that you like using Linux, you can install it from the flash drive by double clicking on the installer.
