First check the kernel version, so we won’t delete the kernel image in use:

1

uname -r

List installed kernels:

1

dpkg --list 'linux-image*' | grep ^ii

Delete unnecessary kernels (replace the VERSION with kernel that should be removed):

1

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-VERSION

After old kernels are removed, you can remove packages that are not used anymore:

1

sudo apt-get autoremove

Finally update grub kernel list:

1

sudo update-grub

Implement a custom Variant type that can hold either string or int while satisfying the JSON Marshaler and Unmarshaler interfaces to support correct encoding/decoding of the values.

Sometimes the following error appears on Ubuntu Linux when building docker images for nodejs projects and the project includes privately scoped node packages.

1

An unexpected error occurred: Request failed "404 Not Found"

Initial workaround

The initial naive workaround we used was to manually change our DNS entry in /etc/resolv.conf to point to the local gateway.

/etc/resolv.conf

1 2	nameserver 10.0.0.1 search npm.ourdomain.com

Then manually stop the systemd-resolved service.

sudo service systemd-resolved stop

The latest btcd release build is from 2015. There is a nice description how to build it for Linux/Mac, but for Windows it’s suggested to download the latest binaries, which are 626 commits behind master as of February 2018. Fortunately, with Golang we can easily build binaries for Windows, and we can follow the steps of the Linux build process. The only issue I faced was a problem in the Glide dependency manager and that’s how this little post was born.

1. Download the latest (or desired) Go version

1

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz

2. Remove old installation

1

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go

3. Extract archive into /usr/local/go

1

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go-archive-filename.tar.gz

4. Test if everything is OK

1

go version

The docker prune command may be used with some docker objects like images, containers and volumes to free unused disk space.

Free space used by containers.

1

docker container prune

Free space used by volumes.

1

docker volume prune

In addition, you can use the docker system prune command to clean up multiple types of objects at once.

1

docker system prune -af

Run the following command in terminal:

1

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 25 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"

./emulator -list-avds

Nexus_5X_API_28_x86
Nexus_S_API_15
Pixel_2_XL_API_28
Pixel_API_27

Run the following command to start the emulator from terminal:

1

./emulator -avd Nexus_S_API_15 -gpu host

Check out the docs for more emulator commands and flags.

The location where android trace files are stored on Nexus 5X with Android 7.0 is

1

/sdcard/Android/data/com.domain.myapp/files/filename.trace

After using the os.Debug class to generate trace files for an app

1
2

Debug.startMethodTracing("mytracefile");
Debug.stopMethodTracing();

the file can be pulled from the stored location like

1

adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.domain.myapp/files/mytracefile.trace

Show all events happening in the phone. The command is very useful for debugging transitions between activities, background, Home button, launcher icon start, notification icon start, etc.

1

adb logcat -b events

Show current tasks and activities running on your connected device:

1

adb shell dumpsys activity
