When I start system I see black display with message:
/dev/sda1: clean....blocks
How to skip this step and run Ubuntu? It takes over 3 hours to check HDD 500 gb
NOTE: Your question is off-topic for this site. It should be on Ask Ubuntu. But to make things easier, I will answer it here.
Use your favorite text editor to open /etc/fstab (WARNING: Be very careful when editing this file. It controls how your system mounts filesystems on boot).
Find the line for /dev/sda1 At the end of the line, you should see a 1, or 2. Change this to a 0. This tells the system to not run fsck whenever it boots.
ctrl+alt+f2 or f3
login with your account
type sudo apt-get update (enter password when prompted)
type sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
reboot

I need to execute quite often a pdf split option on a file such as:
pdfseparate largefile.pdf part-%d.pdf
Is there a way to execute such a command on a selected file by right-clicking on it? I'm running a Fedora 22
Thanks
I assume that you are using a standard Fedora installation with Gnome 3.
Install nautilus-actions first:
sudo yum install nautilus-actions
Then, open it and configure an entry with the following configuration:
Notice that i wrote a double % symbol, because it would be otherwise matched and translated into the current directory.
I also advice you to disable the option Create a main menu for Nautilus Actions in the Preferences of the application.
You should not need to restart Nautilus for the changes to take place, but if needed use:
sudo pkill -9 nautilus
Although it's definitively better to just logout/login.

I am just installed Fedora20 in VMWare. my computer is win8 64bit. But I can't start Xwindow.
I already login root. try "startx". "command not found". what's mean.How to start Xwindow on Fedora20.
If you have X installed, and everything is more or less "out of the box", then you can shift to runlevel 5.
init 5
Note that it must be ran as the root user.
You did not mention what type of install it was. Providing the X Windows system was installed, you can check the inittab settings by sudo vi /etc/inittab (or cat /etc/inittab if you just want to view it)
You are looking for the last line. It should say " id:5:initdefault: "
In order for Gnome/KDE/etc to load when Fedora starts.
If you edit the file to change the last line, reboot the system and it should open the graphical login.

I'm running CentOS 6.4 in a VMWare Player virtual machine. I was trying to add two partitions to the file system. First I used fdisk to add the partitions, then mke2fs, then I mounted the partitions. Then I manually edited /etc/fstab, I added lines for the new partitions listed by blkid.
When I restarted, the OS is failing to start, it brings me to a terminal. So I tried to undo the changes I made to the /etc/fstab file, but it's saying that everything is read only, even though I am root. It won't let me remove the lines I added before to /etc/fstab.
Does anybody know how I can recover? At least how to get the stupid thing to boot again.
I think you need to remount the filesystem in rw mode:
mount -o rw,remount /
After that you can edit /etc/fstab and revert your changes, save the file and reboot.

I have a (little?) problem on my Debian.
When it boots, the X does not load automaticlly.
I need to log on the terminal (in any tty) and after run the command startx.
After run this command, everything works.
So, I think that I just need to configure anything to make the Debian run this command.
Debian has a script for that. To make X start on boot, execute (as root or with sudo):
update-rc.d xdm defaults
For more info, read it's manpage:
man update-rc.d
If you are using Gnome, you'll probably want to use gdm instead of xdm.
Ensure that your x-server is active in your current init level.
Have a look at your /etc/inittab for your default runlevel.
Further you should have something like
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon

I recently made the following (i believe important) changes to my system
Actually I was following this tutorial to use something called Linux Containers.
So can you tell me if any of the following stuff is capable enough to crash my system ?
1. Making changes to /etc/fstab or
2. mount /cgroup which will try to mount cgroups automatically or
3 making changes to etc/network/interfaces or
4 making changes to /etc/resolv.conf
A typo in fstab can definitely make a system un-bootable. However, you should be able to boot from CD, mount the HD, and fix it.
