VIM - html and javascript

When editing html files we at times want to tidy things up.
vim as such might have out of box indentation for files identified by extension like java, c.
Below can help in case indentation is not setup for html.

add line to .vimrc:
filetype indent on

Now edit file and see if html tags start to indent well as you type.
if above does not work still then try adding below lines also:
set smartindent

If it still does not work in edit window of html file from command mode
:set filetype=html

Now to indent when you do from vim normal mode gg=G it will indent file.

For javascript in style tag need to install jsbeautifier plugin (python).
pip install jsbeautifier

if it fails then from pypi download tar.gz and run
python setup.py install

It should install without error then test from vim.
Open file which has script tag and highlight it and get into command mode.  The command line already has some character.  To end of it type !js-beautify and it will indent region.
From shell command prompt you can test if js-beautify is installed.

which js-beautify

It will show that what version of GA its using and it should install without errors. Now on reboot of vm the screen will resize fine.

Linux Boot Loader

Grub is boot loader used to handle loading of multiple OS on machine.  Grub get installed to MBR of boot device which bios detects having MBR.  Grub will present a menu to choose OS to boot.  Once grub gets installed to MBR making changes to grub.conf file does not need reinstall of grub to MBR.  Here is nice video on Linux Boot Process . Once OS selected if its windows then Grub will give control to windows OS loader. If its Linux then Grub loads kernel and initrd.  kernel vmlinux is small in size and its meant to start init but it does not have all modules and neither has file system setup yet.  initrd is ram file system and has modules which are then inserted into kernel.  Now kernel itself can talk to disk and load actual file system and so as it does that.  Now it unloads initrd.  grub will call head.S which sets up the stack and head.S will call decompress_kernel and then call startup_32.  it calls then start_kernel (proces...
