grub2 配置命令备忘

之前装Windows把grub搞挂了，用ubuntu 9.10的盘不能恢复，才发现grub2时代已经来了

又搞了个ubuntu 9.04的盘恢复以后，索性就升级到了grub2。当时有很多问题，尤其是分辨率那个。现在装了10.04，似乎没什么问题了，常用配置命令整理如下

旧版升级：
sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy

去掉memtest:
sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+

修改背景图片/颜色:
sudo vim /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme 注意背景black表示透明，否则会挡住背景图片

修改控制台分辨率：
sudo vi /etc/grub.d/00_header 在 set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE} 后加入 set gfxpayload=keep
注意同时要修改/etc/default/grub里面的 GRUB_GFXMODE

其他参数：
修改 /etc/default/grub，里面的注释写的很清楚的

更新grub菜单，重新搜索内核等等
sudo update-grub
这个很不错，一个是能自动搜索windows loader，另一个就是再也不用为“是(hd0,4)还是(hd0,5)”之类的问题发愁了

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Qubes OS: First Impressions

A few days ago, while browsing security topics online, Qubes OS surfaced—whether via YouTube recommendations or search results, I can't recall precisely. Intrigued by its unique approach to security through compartmentalization, I delved into the documentation and watched some demos. My interest was piqued enough that I felt compelled to install it and give it a try firsthand. My overall first impression of Qubes OS is highly positive. Had I discovered it earlier, I might have reconsidered starting my hardware password manager project. Conceptually, Qubes OS is not much different from running a bunch of virtual machines simultaneously. However, its brilliance lies in the seamless desktop integration and the well-designed template system, making it far more user-friendly than a manual VM setup. I was particularly impressed by the concept of disposable VMs for temporary tasks and the clear separation of critical functions like networking (sys-net) and USB handling (sys-usb) into the...

Exploring Immutable Distros and Declarative Management

My current server setup, based on Debian Stable and Docker, has served me reliably for years. It's stable, familiar, and gets the job done. However, an intriguing article I revisited recently about Fedora CoreOS, rpm-ostree, and OSTree native containers sparked my curiosity and sent me down a rabbit hole exploring alternative approaches to system management. Could there be a better way? Core Goals & Requirements Before diving into new technologies, I wanted to define what "better" means for my use case: The base operating system must update automatically and reliably. Hosted services (applications) should be updatable either automatically or manually, depending on the service. Configuration and data files need to be easy to modify, and crucially, automatically tracked and backed up. Current Setup: Debian Stable + Docker My current infrastructure consists of several servers, all running Debian Stable. System Updates are andled automatically via unattended-upgrades. Se...
