Linux Kernel Dev Setup

Assumes Ubuntu/Debian environment.

Required packages

build-essential bc bison libncurses5-dev pkg-config python libssl-dev flex

And some kernel dev aliases (this will eventually go into a .bash_linux file)

alias dw='sudo dmesg -w'
alias dm='sudo dmesg -c'
alias lsgrub="grep '\$menuentry_id_option' /boot/grub/grub.cfg | sed 's/menuentry //g' | sed 's/--class.*menuentry_id_option//g' | nl -v 0"

VirtualBox

Some nice VBoxManage aliases (before I figure out Vagrant):

alias vmstart='VBoxManage startvm --type headless'
alias vmc='VBoxManage controlvm'
function vmpower() {
    VBoxManage controlvm $1 poweroff
}
function vmacpi() {
    VBoxManage controlvm $1 acpipowerbutton
}
alias vmls='VBoxManage list vms'
alias vmlson='VBoxManage list runningvms'
vmrestart() {
    vmpower $1 && vmstart $1
}

Install VirtualBox Guest Additions

Download ISO file:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

Mount & install:

sudo /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
