Starting page logo with full disk encryption
To change the grub starting page logo when using, as I currently do, Linux Mint (with LUKS encryption), you have to change it in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/mint-logo.
And then update your initramfs using
sudo update-initramfs -u
where the -u is there to tell it that we want to update an existing initramfs.
On Vim there’s a nice diffsplit view:
One can do a diff with diffsplit file2 and then you can copy or import changes from the one or the other with do and dp. Other usefull cmds:
]c - advance to the next block with differences
[c - reverse search for the previous block with differences
do (diff obtain) - bring changes from the other file to the current file
dp (diff put) - send changes from the current file to the other file
zo - unfold/unhide text
zc - refold/rehide text
zr - unfold both files completely
zm - fold both files completely
To get ^W on Powershell
Okay, this is not really a Linux tip, since it applies on Windows, but it’s to get the same behaviour as on Linux.
Just run the following:
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Ctrl+w -Function BackwardKillWord
And it will allow you to use Ctrl-w instead of Ctrl-Backspace to erase a whole word in the console.
