1) Log in to the system as the root user.
2) Create a normal user account using the useradd command.

# useradd <USERNAME>

3) Set a password for the new user using the passwd command.

# passwd USERNAME
Changing password for user USERNAME.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

4) Uncomment in file /etc/sudoers :

### Do not uncomment this line# Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL

5) Add the user you created to the wheel group using the usermod command.

Ubuntu Autocompletion
http://askubuntu.com/questions/352121/bash-auto-completion-with-xubuntu-and-xrdp-from-windows

I'm using Xubuntu and connecting over RemoteDesktop with Windows 7.
Everything works fine, but the auto_completion in my bash doesn't work. Solution:

You may find that this is a more general issue with interception of the Tab key under remote XFCE4 sessions, rather than a problem with bash completion itself.
I had a similar issue running XFCE4 over VNC and the workaround for me was to edit the ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file to unset the following mapping

<       <property name="&lt;Super&gt;Tab" type="string" value="switch_window_key"/>
---
>       <property name="&lt;Super&gt;Tab" type="string" value="empty"/>

I found this solution online somewhere and can't really take credit for it.

GNS3 Configuration
1. How to send command to multiple consoles (Terminals).
Using Konsole (Ubuntu terminal application):
1) create 2 hotkeys:
  ALT+W - All tabs in current window
  CTRL+ALT+W - none
2) select any tab (router), type "ALT+W" wr ↵  "CTRL+ALT+W"    and 'wr'  will be executed in every tab
  
2. Clear Cisco router configs:

erase startup-config
!
configure replace nvram:startup-config force
!

3. Setup annoying features (send to all routers using step 1)

en
conf t
no ip domain-lookup
!
alias exec sib show ip int br
alias exec rib show ip route
alias exec run show run
alias exec ro show run | section router
!
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
privilege level 15
logging synchronous
!
end
wr

4. TCL script to ping multiple destinations at once

Branch# tclsh
foreach address {
209.165.200.241
209.165.202.129
209.165.200.226
} { ping $address}

Another TCL script

puts [open "nvram:helper" w+] {
+>Welcome to Help Menu.
+> sh vrf br - list all VRF-s
+>
+> Following Aliases available:
+>  bgp - sh bgp vpnv4 unicast vrf INTERNET summary
+> 
+>}

Reset root password - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword







1) Update system
Work as root, not hit every time 'sudo'

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

2) Install VMWare Tools

# insert VMWARE-tools in virtual CD-ROMmkdir /media/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
mkdir /usr/vmtools
cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools*.tar.gz /usr/vmtools
cd /usr/vmtools
tar xvf VMwareTools*.tar.gz
cd /usr/vmtools/vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl -d

3) Install GNS3 0.8.6

http://forum.gns3.net/topic6666.html
add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install dynamips gns3

4) Install TeamViewer 9

wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
apt-get install gdebi
gdebi teamviewer_linux.deb

To completly uninstall Teamviewer 9 (if VM cloning)

stop teamviewer
apt-get purge teamviewer
rm -r /home/<user>/.config/teamviewer9

5) Set Desktop Custom resolution

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080

6) Set promisc mode (for VMWARE network transit to real network)

ifconfig eth0 promisc up
ifconfig eth1 promisc up  

Old info (for ubuntu 12.10 and teamviewer 8, GNS3 0.8.4)

IDLEPC = 0x????????

Many consider this “THE” most important part of GNS3 configuration.
It can dramatically change your overall experience.
Basically, this value defines the resources the emulated Cisco Routers will use. The IDLE PC value instructs devices to release resources and go idle during while the router is running idle. This then allows resources to be freed up and made available to the other devices. It is kind of co-operative multi-tasking being done among the emulated instances. You should spend sufficient time to find a good combination of IDLEPC value suited for his/her IOS and computer platform.
