A developer is trying to install an application remotely that requires a graphical interface for installation. The developer requested assistance to set up the necessary environment variables along with X11 forwarding in SSH. Which of the following environment variables must be set in remote shell in order to launch the graphical interface?

Correct Answer:D
The environment variable that must be set in remote shell in order to launch the graphical interface is $DISPLAY. This variable tells X11 applications where to display their windows on screen. It usually has the form hostname:displaynumber.screennumber, where hostname is the name of the computer running the X server, displaynumber is a unique identifier for an X display on that computer, and screennumber is an optional identifier for a screen within an X display. For example, localhost:0.0 means display number 0 on the local host. If the hostname is omitted, it defaults to the local host.
The other options are not correct environment variables for launching the graphical interface. $RHOST is a variable that stores the name of the remote host, but it is not used by X11 applications. SETENV is a command that sets environment variables in some shells, but it is not an environment variable itself. $SHELL is a variable that stores the name of the current shell, but it is not related to X11 forwarding.

An administrator thinks that a package was installed using a snap. Which of the following commands can the administrator use to verify this information?

Correct Answer:A
The snap list command is used to display the installed snaps on the system1. Snaps are self-contained software packages that can be installed and updated across different Linux distributions2. The snap list command shows the name, version, revision, developer and notes of each snap1.
The snap find command is used to search for snaps in the Snap Store, which is an online repository of snaps2. The snap install command is used to install snaps from the Snap Store or from a local file2. The snap try command is used to test a snap without installing it, by mounting a directory that contains the snap files2. These commands are not useful for verifying if a package was installed using a snap.

A Linux systems administrator receives reports from various users that an application hosted on a server has stopped responding at similar times for several days in a row. The administrator logs in to the system and obtains the following output:
Output 1:

Output 2:

Output 3:

Which of the following should the administrator do to provide the BEST solution for the reported issue?

Correct Answer:D
Based on the output of the image sent by the user, the system requires more swap space to allow for spikes in usage during peak hours and prevent the Java process from stopping due to a lack of memory. The output shows that there is only 0 MB of swap space available on the system, which means that there is no room for swapping out memory pages when physical memory is full or low. The output also shows that there is only 793 MB of available memory on the system, which may not be enough to handle high- demand applications such as Java. This may cause Java to stop working due to insufficient memory or trigger an OutOfMemoryError exception. Configuring more swap space on the system would help to alleviate this issue by providing more virtual memory for applications and improving performance. Configuring memory allocation policies during business hours will not help to solve this issue, as it will not increase the amount of available memory or swap space on the system. Configuring a different nice value for Java process will not help to solve this issue, as it will only affect its scheduling priority, not its memory consumption or allocation. Configuring more CPU cores will not help to solve this issue, as it will only increase processing power, not memory capacity or availability.
