How to set proxy in Ubuntu terminal

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://blog.rahuljain.org/2012/05/how-to-set-proxy-in-ubuntu-terminal.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Using GREP
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    grep to search inside files in the same directory
    grep -nrw '.' -e "Input"

Installing Ubuntu (Credits: https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~aamod/ubuntu/install.html#repo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You can either install Ubuntu by downloading the ISO file and creating a bootable device and create a disk partition, OR you can download the Windows Installer and install directly from windows.

    If you have another operating system already, it would be nice to backup your files (just in case). If in case you you blow up you Windows while trying to install Ubuntu (happened to me the first time I tried), you can download Windows from IIT Bombay's MS Store, if your from IIT Bombay. If your not from IIT Bombay, then God help you!

    You then also need to set up proxy settings if you are within the IIT Bombay network and repository settings if you need to install softwares and packages fast:

* Ubuntu Proxy Settings (Credits: https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~aamod/ubuntu/install.html#repo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following is the way to get Ubuntu working under IITB proxy with apt-line installation
Ubuntu 11.04 and below, go to network proxy.

proxy either netmon.iitb.ac.in port 80 or www.aero.iitb.ac.in port 8081 for all protocols.

In exclusion list, add *.iitb.ac.in and 10.0.0.0/8.
Apply system wide

For Ubuntu 11.10 and above, go to Network from the dash. Network Proxy should be under it. Set proxy as above.

Now some files have to be edited:

Open terminal.
Type
sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf /etc/environment /etc/wgetrc
This will open 3 files in gedit
      
If you are using aero proxy, P=http://www.aero.iitb.ac.in:8081/ . If you are using netmon, P=http://ldapusername:ldappassword@netmon.iitb.ac.in:80/. Use HTTP protocol only. No https://.... or ftp://....

        The /etc/apt/apt.conf should look like

        Acquire::http::proxy "P";
        Acquire::https::proxy "P";

        #### P is from previous step
        #### Notice: No FTP proxy
                   

        For /etc/environment,

        #### Something about PATH variable here

        http_proxy=P
        https_proxy=P
        ftp_proxy=P
                   
       
For /etc/wgetrc, Uncomment the proxy lines and replace the values by value of P. Uncomment the line use_proxy=on
       
Save files, restart Terminal and you are done!!!


* Ubuntu Repository Settings (Credits: https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~aamod/ubuntu/install.html#repo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To use IITB apt software repositories in ubuntu, follow the steps:

        Make sure you have no FTP proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf file. If you have followed proxy instructions from this wiki, you don't need to do anything.
        Make a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list if you want to.
        Open Terminal.
        Type & hit enter

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

        A file will open in gedit. Replace all the contents by

        ######### Warning: Instead of maverick, use the name of your distribution in following lines
        # For 12.04, its 'precise'

        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick main restricted
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick main restricted

        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates main restricted
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates main restricted

        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick universe
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick universe
        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates universe
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates universe

        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick multiverse
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick multiverse
        deb ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates multiverse
        deb-src ftp://ftp.iitb.ac.in/os/ubuntu/archives/ maverick-updates multiverse
                   

        Save the file.
        Run sudo apt-get update in Terminal. You are done.
        Now you can install softwares from IITB repositories. They are very fast as compared to HTTP repositories.

Tar in terminal

        Ignore the error
            mount: block device /home/vineeshvs/software_installations/SPEC/cpu2006-1.2.iso is write-protected, mounting read-only

TEXiLA, give it a shot...

LaTeX : From the mistakes I made 

Use label after caption so that reference to figure will come correctly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

correct

\begin{figure}[here]

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{../images/ex_circuit.png}

Use \noindent if the text is not aligned to left

Using bibtex?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should do the compilation as follows (so that citations will come correctly)

pdflatex -> bibtex ->pdflatex -> pdflatex
