启用compiz和fglrx时的vnc问题 | Problem of vnc server with compiz and fglrx enabled

困扰了我近两年的问题。

远程连vnc回我的电脑，第一个画面能看到，鼠标也可以动，但是键盘按没反应，画面也不会再动。
一开始以为是网络问题，或者是设置了view only，但是本机上看，鼠标和键盘都得到了响应，所以只是屏幕刷新的问题。

这个问题我一直不知道原因。 但是最近新装的ubuntu，一开始是可以连得，没有问题，我还以为是更新了解决了这个问题。但是最近又不行了，我才开始想最近改了什么设置。 最后发现原来是启动了fglrx，关了radeon。 改回radeon后vnc又复活了。

于是查了一下， 果然是个bug，见https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/353126, 而且nvidia的闭源驱动也有这个问题，我以前是用的nvidia的卡，只是一直用它的驱动，所以没有发现这个问题。


A problem that has been bothering me for nearly two years.

So the problem is, when trying to remotely connect to the vnc server enabled on my computer, I can see only the first screenshot, without further update, the mouse pointer is moving, but keyboard events are not responded.
I thought at first this must be something wrong with the network, or maybe "view only" is set on the server, however on my computer I see that mouse and keyboard are working properly, so it's only the problem of screen updating.

I didn't know the reason all the time until now. Recently I have a new Ubuntu installed on my computer, in the first few days vnc server was working well, and I had thought that this problem had been solved in this new version of Ubuntu. However vnc failes again these days, and I begin trying to remember what I have changed in the system. In the end I found that I've enabled fglrx and disabled radeon. And vnc come back to alive after switching back to radeon.

Later I found that it's indeed a bug, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/353126, which also affects the nvidia proprietary driver. I was using nvidia cards before, but I had always been using its proprietary driver, and that's why I didn't find the cause before.

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...

[转] UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux

这几天,这个东西把我搞得很头疼 而且这篇文章好像太大了,blogger自己的发布系统不能发 只好用mail了 //原文 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux by Markus Kuhn This text is a very comprehensive one-stop information resource on how you can use Unicode/UTF-8 on POSIX systems (Linux, Unix). You will find here both introductory information for every user, as well as detailed references for the experienced developer. Unicode has started to replace ASCII, ISO 8859 and EUC at all levels. It enables users to handle not only practically any script and language used on this planet, it also supports a comprehensive set of mathematical and technical symbols to simplify scientific information exchange. With the UTF-8 encoding, Unicode can be used in a convenient and backwards compatible way in environments that were designed entirely around ASCII, like Unix. UTF-8 is the way in which Unicode is used under Unix, Linux, and similar systems. It is now time to make sure that you are well familiar ...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article.  I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
