7. A systems administrator is receiving errors while trying to install a popular virtualization software.

Additional requirements state the processor must accelerate encryption/decryption and use hyperthreading. Given the following output about the processor:

   fpu ume depse tsu msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pae mca cmov pat pse36 cflusm mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm fsgsbase

   Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the errors?

   • KDE
   • Gnome
   • Wayland
   • MATE
   • X11

10. A Linux administrator tried to copy files to a remote server but received an error message indicating a lack of free space on the disk. The administrator issued a df command and verified adequate free space and inodes on the filesystem.

    Which of the following commands is the BEST way to diagnose the issue?

    • cat /proc/meminfo
    • lsof -nP | grep deleted
    • find / -type f -size +50M
    • du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 30

11. A user wants to alias dir so it always returns the contents of the ls -la command. However, the user has to reset the alias with every login.

    Which of the following is the BEST action the user can take to ensure the command is always available?

    • echo “alias dir=ls -la” > /etc/profile
    • echo “alias dir=ls -la” >> /etc/skel
    • echo “alias dir=ls -la” >> ~/.profile
    • echo “alias dir=ls -la” > ~/.bashrc

12. A systems administrator needs to run the yum update command two hours after employees log off and leave for the day on Friday.

    Which of the following is the BEST command to complete the task, if the task only needs to be run once?

    • screen
    • cron
    • at
    • nohup

13. The Apache web server was recently installed on a Debian/Ubuntu server. The web server fails and a review of log messages on another partition reveals the installation was not completed properly due to lack of disk space. After clearing the files, the systems administrator has requested the installation to be performed again.

    Which of the following command lines will perform this task? (Choose two.)

    • apt-get install apache2
    • apt-get –purge remove acache2
    • apt-get –reinstall install apache2
    • apt-get –reinstall apache2

14. Given the output below:

    [root@appserver ~]# rm config.txt
    rm: remove regular file ‘config.txt’? yes
    rm: cannot remove ‘config.txt’: Operation not permitted

    Which of the following might be the cause?

    • The file config.txt does not have the user write bit set.
    • The file config.txt does not exist.
    • The file config.txt has the immutable attribute set.
    • The file config.txt has an ACL that does not permit deletion by others.

15. Users in the sales department are unable to create new files in the shared directory /Sales. A junior Linux administrator determines the permissions on the /Sales directory are set to rwxr—–, and sales is the group owner of the directory.

    • chmod 770 /Sales
    • chmod g+s /Sales

    Which of the following BEST describes the issue and a possible solution?

    • The path MTU is lower than the source MTU. Reduce the source MTU setting.
    • There is latency at the storage device. Work with the storage team to correct the issue.

    • There are dropped packets at an intermediate router. Work with the network team to correct the issue.

    • cp -rf /home/user99/* /mnt/backups/user99/
    • sftp -b /home/user99/* [email protected]:/backups

18. A systems administrator documents the instructions on the internal wiki regarding how to turn the company’s code into Debian packages. The instructions include the commands used to compile, what tests need to be run, the commands to convert the raw code into a package that apt or dpkg can manage, as well as an explanation of each command.
