To make the third menu entry of your GRUB2 boot menu your default menu selection, you need to do the following tasks:

• Edit the /etc/default/grub file and set GRUB_DEFAULT to 2
• Run the grub2-mkconfig command

The /etc/default/grub file contains various settings for the GRUB2 boot loader, such as the default menu entry, the timeout value, the theme file, etc. The GRUB_DEFAULT setting can be set to a numeric value that corresponds to the menu entry index (starting from 0), or a string value that matches the menu entry title. The grub2-mkconfig command will generate a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file based on the settings in /etc/default/grub and other configuration files and scripts. References: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-grub2-config.html#sec-grub2-config-default

The scripts in the /etc/grub.d directory are used to generate the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file and are taken as input by the grub2-mkconfig command. The /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file contains the menu entries and settings for the GRUB2 boot loader. The grub2-mkconfig command is used to create or update this file based on the scripts in /etc/grub.d and other configuration files. The scripts in /etc/grub.d are executed in numerical order and can be customized by the user or administrator.

For programs to leverage PolKit they are split into two separate processes. The statements below that are true regarding these two PolKit processes are:

• The Mechanism process runs in the System Context.
• The Policy Agent process runs in the User Session.

The Mechanism process is responsible for performing privileged actions on behalf of unprivileged users. It runs as root in the System Context and communicates with PolKit via D-Bus. The Policy Agent process is responsible for requesting authorization from users when they attempt to perform privileged actions. It runs as a normal user in the User Session and communicates with PolKit via D-Bus. References: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-polkit.html#sec-polkit-processes

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server supports two different kinds of VNC sessions: One-time sessions that “live” as long as the VNC connection from the client is kept up, and persistent sessions that “live” until they are explicitly terminated.

5.1 One-time VNC Sessions

5.2 Persistent VNC Sessions

Log file rotation is the process of compressing or deleting old log files to save disk space and improve performance. The /etc/logrotate.conf file controls the global settings for log file rotation, such as frequency, size limit, compression method, etc. The /etc/logrotate.d/ directory contains configuration files for specific log files that can override the global settings in /etc/logrotate.conf. The /usr/sbin/logrotate program is used to perform log file rotation according to the configuration files. It is usually invoked by a cron job in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.

The configuration files that have a format that is compatible with the system logging facility in SUSE Linux Enterprise are /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.conf. These files contain rules that specify how to filter and process log messages from different sources and destinations. The /etc/syslog.conf file is used by the traditional syslogd daemon, while the /etc/rsyslog.conf file is used by the more advanced rsyslogd daemon. SUSE Linux Enterprise uses rsyslogd by default, but it can also read /etc/syslog.conf for backward compatibility.

The basic components of RPM are RPM Database and RPM Package Manager. The RPM Database is a collection of files that store information about installed packages on the system. It is located in /var/lib/rpm by default. The RPM Package Manager is a set of tools and libraries that allow you to install, uninstall, query, verify, and manage RPM packages. It includes commands such as rpm, zypper, yast2, etc. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-rpm.html#sec-rpm-components

The valid device types are character and block devices. Character devices are devices that transfer data byte by byte, such as keyboards, mice, terminals, etc. Block devices are devices that transfer data in fixed-size blocks, such as disks, CD-ROMs, etc. Pipe, null, redirect, udev, and network are not device types but rather concepts or components related to devices or device management.
