Linux virtual terminals and the X server

Wandering Thoughts | Nov. 21, 2007, 12:18 a.m. | Original

Linux virtual terminals have a simple conceptual model; you hit Alt-Fnand the kernel switches you to virtual terminal n. It even works with X,except that you have to remember to hit Ctrl-Alt-Fn when you're in X toswitch out of it. What I suspect many people don't know is that in thecase of X this simple conceptual model is a bit of a lie.

The issue is that text VTs and the X server VT are in different graphicsmodes, so

地盤

我對地盤有一種奇異的想像，這種想像超越了知識與理性，也超越了歡喜與厭惡，那是介於詛咒或被詛咒的心情。

有一陣子，我居住和工作的地方都有地盤在旁，後來，我們的城市就發展成一個大地盤，小民被迫活在沙石與磚堆

A lesson learned: Always upgrade Fedora with a respin CD

Wandering Thoughts | Nov. 20, 2007, 12:18 a.m. | Original

I spent a large part of today upgrading my office workstation fromFedora Core 6 to Fedora 7 (I wanted to go straight to Fedora 8, buteither I am too impatient or the Fedora 8 installer stalled duringdependency resolution). As usual, I did this by sticking in theFedora 7 DVD and telling it to do an upgrade install.

The problem with this is simple: an up to date machine running an oldFedora can have more recent versions of packages than are on the installmedia for the newer Fedora

斷章取義

空姐的行李篋 | Nov. 19, 2007, 1:43 p.m. | Original

對別人斷章取義是每個人無法避免的陰暗面。

但選取哪篇章哪意思，全取決於交情。

愛護我的人，自然用好的角度來看我。

就算知我犯錯，婉轉告知，再極力維護。

太平盛世，不涉宗教政治大是大非，又不是殺人放火奪人所愛的

正如五師兄所說，這是「有殺錯，無放過」的想法，也正好與當年小弟中文討論考試題目「寧枉無縱還是寧縱無枉」相似。在法律上，我們會傾向於「寧縱無枉」，但若果事件是大至全球暖化時，我們是否應以地球整體為考慮？

某日無聊

重溫了北野武的座頭市

盲俠為小鎮剷除惡霸又為可憐的姐弟報仇

當然大快人心

北野武與淺野忠信兩大高手的惡鬥亦很

Wandering Thoughts | Nov. 19, 2007, 12:18 a.m. | Original

You read here and there that in IPv6, IPsec is mandatory; depending onwhich side of the firewall divide you're on, this either sounds great oralarming. But what does it actually mean? Recently, I got curious anddid some digging, and it turns out that it is less than it sounds.

The summary:
