Besides the sections listed on this page, the following blogs are organized along timeline,

Package Manager¶

Advanced Package Tool (APT)¶

APT is a package management system for Debian and other Linux distributions based on it, such as Ubuntu.

PPA¶

PPAs (Personal Package Archive) are repositories hosted on Launchpad. You can use PPAs to install or upgrade packages that are not available in the official Ubuntu repositories.

dpkg (Debian Package Manager)¶

“dpkg works under the hood of APT. While APT manages remote repositories and resolves dependencies for you, it use dpkg to actually make the changes of installing/removing package.”

list installed packages: dpkg -l
- flag ‘ii’ (installed) and ‘rc’ (removed but configuration), refer to for more details

Snap¶

snaps: the packages
snapd: the tool for using packages

Snaps are self-contained applications running in a sandbox with mediated access to the host system.

Disk¶

Extend Disk

一直想扩容来着，但总是下不了决心。今天决定了，参考 google 搜索“Ubuntu 扩容”的前几条结果，便开始干了。

采用启动 U 盘，因为根目录在使用状态，幸好启动 U 盘还在。
使用 Gparted 时有个大大的 warning，说对含 /boot 分区的硬盘进行操作可能会不能正常启动，有点吓到了，最后还是狠下心继续下去了。
网上有人说，不要用 Gparted 对 Windows 进行压缩，而应该在 Windows 中进行压缩，可是此时已经开始了，想中断但怕造成更严重的后果，幸好最后启动 Windows 时只是多了步检查硬盘，并没有不能启动的状况。

中间提心吊胆，好在最后顺利扩容完成。

Portable SSD

Clean disk space

autoremove apt autoremove --purge
manually find unused packages: dpkg -l and apt list --installed
for anaconda, run conda clean -a

Mount with Options

By default, the Segate disk would return owner as root.

Use

sudo umount /dev/XXX
sudo mount -o rw,user,uid=1000,dmask=007,fmask=117 /dev/XXX /media/weiya/Segate

where the first step might throw busy error, and the processes use the disk can be found via

fuser -cu /local/mnt/

GNOME¶

GNOME (originally an acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems.

The version on my T460p is 3.28.2, which can be seen from About.

GNOME Shell¶

GNOME Shell is the graphical shell of the GNOME desktop environment. It provides basic functions like launching applications, switching between windows and is also a widget engine. . User interface elements provided by GNOME Shell include the Panel at the top of the screen, the Activities Overview, and Message Tray at the bottom of the screen.

The version on my T460p is

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.28.4

GNOME Shell Extensions¶

GNOME Shell Extensions are small pieces of code written by third party developers that modify the way GNOME works. They are similar to Chrome Extensions or Firefox Addons. We can install the extensions via extensions.gnome.org in Firefox. After installation, we can disable or enable, or even configure on such website, alternatively, we can use gnome-tweaks to control them.

Lunar Date¶

Here is a plugin to show Chinese Lunar Date: Lunar Calendar 农历. Since here are some latest comments, I guess it would be OK.

However, the first installation attempt failed, it shows ERROR. Then I realized that I might need to install the dependency mentioned in the plugin page,

sudo apt install gir1.2-lunar-date-2.0

Then reinstall the plugin, it succeed! But interestingly, the Chinese characters are shown as Pinyin (see the following left image)

Before	After

Then I found the same issue in an older post

A solution is

@GuanGGuanG
copy
/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/liblunar.mo
to
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/
就可以在英文环境下正常显示了

Although no found liblunar.mo, there is

$ pwd
/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES
$ ll | grep lunar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   4746 Nov 12  2016 lunar-date.mo

then

$ sudo cp lunar-date.mo ../../en/LC_MESSAGES/

It cannot take effects immediately, the natural way is to reboot. But currently I do not want to reboot, and then I tried to reinstall the plugin in Firefox, but not work.

Then I tried to reload locale since the modification seems related to locale, so I found this answer and tried

$ . /etc/default/locale

but not work.

Then I realized that it might be necessary to reload GNOME Shell, so I found How to restart GNOME Shell from command line?, and tried

$ gnome-shell --replace &

It works, as shown in the above right figure. A minor side change is that the English colon in the time 14:37 seems to change to the Chinese colon.

System Monitor¶

通过 gnome-shell extension: gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet 实现

不过目前有个小问题，字体略小，尝试通过 gnome-tweaks 中的 scaling 来改变字体大小，但似乎对这些字体仍不适用，先将就用着吧。

unblack lock screen¶

按 Win+L 锁屏后，很快就直接变黑了。因为感觉屏保还挺好看的，所以并不想直接黑屏。参考 GNOME3锁屏和锁屏后，如何设置屏幕常亮？ - Eglinux的回答 - 知乎，安装 Unblank lock screen.

更简单的技巧是长按 Win+L，似乎确实不会直接黑屏，然后会直接采用设置的关屏时间（Setting > Power），参考 GNOME3锁屏和锁屏后，如何设置屏幕常亮？ - dale的回答 - 知乎。

sound device chooser¶

tried but not good. Sound Input & Output Device Chooser

Filesystem¶

File Permissions¶

采用ls -l 便可以查看文件(夹)权限，比如

-rw-rw-r--  1 weiya weiya    137969 3月   8  2017 font.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root      35792 12月 26 23:50 geckodriver.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root     327350 12月 27 01:38 ghostdriver.log

7列的含义分别是（参考http://blog.csdn.net/jenminzhang/article/details/9816853）

文件类型和文件权限 - 文件类型由第一个字母表示，常见的有 d(目录)，-(文件)，l(链接) - 权限分为三段，每三个字符一段，分别表示，文件所有者 u、文件所属组 g、其他用户 o对该文件的权限，其中
- r: 可读，等于 4
- w: 可写，等于 2
- x: 可执行，等于 1
- -: 无权限，等于 0
- s: set user or group ID on execution (s)
- X: execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user
- t: restricted deletion flag or sticky bit
文件链接个数
文件所有者
文件所在群组
文件长度
时间
文件名称

采用chmod修改权限（参考http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2015-03/114695.htm），如

chmod -R 700 Document/
chmod -R [ugoa...][[+-=][perms...]] # refer to `man chmod` for more details

其中 -R 表示递归，perms 为上述 rwxXst，而 a 表示所有用户，即 ugo.

采用 chown 改变所有者，比如

chown -R username:users Document/

chmod g+s . 会使得当前文件夹 . 中所有新建文件或文件夹都继承 . 的 group，而不是创建者所属的 group，所以这一般配合 chgrp 使用。参考 ‘chmod g+s’ command

Modify vs Change¶

在找学习资料时，突然不是很确定当初是否已经在用这台笔记本了，所以想确定一下本机的装机时间，参考 How can I tell what date Ubuntu was installed?，主要时通过查看文件的上次修改时间，比如

$ ls -lt /var/log/installer/
total 1200
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root   root 464905 Dec  2  2016 initial-status.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root     60 Dec  2  2016 media-info
-rw------- 1 syslog adm  334743 Dec  2  2016 syslog
-rw------- 1 root   root   2467 Dec  2  2016 debug
-rw------- 1 root   root 407422 Dec  2  2016 partman
-rw------- 1 root   root     17 Dec  2  2016 version
-rw------- 1 root   root    956 Dec  2  2016 casper.log

又如

$ ls -lt /
...
drwxrwxr-x   2 root root       4096 Dec  2  2016 cdrom
drwx------   2 root root      16384 Dec  2  2016 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root       4096 Apr 21  2016 srv

出现了 2016.04.21 的一条记录。但如果我加上 -c，结果竟然不一样

$ ls -clt /
...
drwxrwxr-x   2 root root       4096 Dec  2  2016 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root       4096 Dec  2  2016 srv
drwx------   2 root root      16384 Dec  2  2016 lost+found

难道 ls 默认显示的时间不是上次修改时间吗？？另外注意到 srv 其实是一个空文件夹。

这时我用 stat 进一步查看，

$ stat /srv
  File: /srv
  Size: 4096        Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: 825h/2085d  Inode: 1179649     Links: 2
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2021-05-05 08:43:20.955106697 +0800
Modify: 2016-04-21 06:07:49.000000000 +0800
Change: 2016-12-02 02:46:47.363728274 +0800
 Birth: -

发现有两个修改时间，Modify 和 Change，两者区别在于

Modify: the last time the file was modified (content has been modified)
Change: the last time meta data of the file was changed (e.g. permissions)

然后进一步查看 Windows 系统的时间，

$ ll -clt
...
drwxrwxrwx  1 weiya weiya       4096 Oct  1  2016 '$Recycle.Bin'/
drwxrwxrwx  1 weiya weiya          0 Sep 29  2016  FFOutput/
-rwxrwxrwx  2 weiya weiya   15151172 Jul  2  2016  WindowsDENGL.tt2*
-rwxrwxrwx  2 weiya weiya   16092228 Jul  2  2016  WindowsDENG.tt2*
-rwxrwxrwx  2 weiya weiya   16217976 Jul  2  2016  WindowsDENGB.tt2*

-rwxrwxrwx  1 weiya weiya          1 Mar 19  2016  BOOTNXT*
drwxrwxrwx  1 weiya weiya       8192 Mar 18  2016  Boot/

最早可以追溯到 2016.03.18.

`.fuse_hidden`¶

I found a file res/res_monodecomp/.fuse_hidden0016fbd000000001, which is “a file was deleted but there is at least one software which is still using it, so it cannot be removed permanently” . And it is suggested to use lsof to determine the application that uses such file. However,

$ lsof ./res/res_monodecomp/
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tracefs file system /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
      Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/129/gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.

`/run/user/1000`¶

Info

Post: 2022-04-05 09:58:32

Checking the usage of disk by df -h, here is a line,

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           2.0G   24K  2.0G   1% /run/user/129
tmpfs           2.0G  192K  2.0G   1% /run/user/1000

where

tmpfs (short for Temporary File System) is a temporary file storage paradigm implemented in many Unix-like operating systems. It is intended to appear as a mounted file system, but data is stored in volatile memory instead of a persistent storage device.
/run/user/$uid is created by pam_systemd and used for storing files used by running processes for that user.

100% snap `/dev/loop`¶

$ df -h
/dev/loop1      9.0M  9.0M     0 100% /snap/canonical-livepatch/138
/dev/loop2      9.0M  9.0M     0 100% /snap/canonical-livepatch/146
/dev/loop3      114M  114M     0 100% /snap/core/13308
/dev/loop0      128K  128K     0 100% /snap/bare/5

“Having Snap images which consume 100% of their filesystem is perfectly acceptable” and “it’s supposed to work that way”, refer to

Birth time¶

Info

Post: 2023-03-06 17:23:57 -0500

有一篇博客写了草稿未 commit，然后匆忙更改后想知道上一次写作的时间。但是 stat 与 ls 中 Birth 字段为空。

首先尝试了 debugfs，但似乎这对于 ext4 有用。

$ sudo debugfs -R 'stat 451072' /dev/sdc1
debugfs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
debugfs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1 contains a ntfs file system labelled 'Seagate Backup Plus Drive'
stat: Filesystem not open

对于 ntfs，找到了这个,

$ getfattr --only-values -n system.ntfs_crtime_be four-generations-under-one-roof.md | 
    perl -MPOSIX -0777 -ne '$t = unpack("Q>"); print ctime $t/10000000-11644473600'
Sun Feb 26 22:52:09 2023

其中 11644473600 是 Windows 的开始计时时间点 (1601-01-01T00:00:00Z) 与 Linux 计时开始点 (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z) 所差的秒数（）。

git clone git@github.com:lxgw/LxgwWenKai.git
cp LxgwWenKai/fonts/TTF/* ~/.local/share/fonts/

仿宋 & 黑体

以安装仿宋和黑体为例，这是本科毕业论文模板所需要的字体，字体文件已打包

$ wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/zjuthesis/files/fonts.tar.gz/download -O fonts.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf fonts.tar.gz
fonts/STFANGSO.TTF

fonts/simhei.ttf
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom/
$ sudo mv fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom/
$ sudo fc-cache -f -v

NOTE: 除了系统的字体目录，也可以选择用户目录，”~/.local/share/fonts/”. 另见另外 fc-cache 也不是必须的。

安装完成后，

$ fc-list :lang=zh
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom/simhei.ttf: SimHei,黑体:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom/STFANGSO.TTF: STFangsong,华文仿宋:style=Regular

Font Name in xeCJK

在 \setCJKmainfont{} 中使用 fc-list 冒号之前的字体名。也可以使用字体文件，但需要指定具体路径，否则只会在当前目录下寻找。

Headphone¶

restart sound

pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload

The output candidates are

HDMI/DisplayPort - Built-in Audio
Speakers - Built-in Audio
Headphone - LE-Bose QC35 II

and there are two profiles for Headphone

High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)
Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)

also two profiles for Speakers

Analog Stereo Output
Analog Surround 4.0 Output

and one profile for HDMI/DisplayPort

Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output

There are two devices for sound input

Internal Microphone - Built-in Audio
Bluetooth Input - LE-Bose QC35 II

Here are some observations

The profile High Fidelity Playback is much more confortable than another profile.
If Output = Headphone + High Fidelity, then Input cannot be set as Bluetooth Input
Otherwise, if set Input as Bluetooth Input, then the Profile of Output would become to Headset Head Unit

Sometimes, no sound from the headphone, and possibly the headphone is connected to another device. Refer to Using multiple Bluetooth® connections for switching the connected devices for the headphone.

When two devices are actively connected, you can play music from either device. To switch between connected devices, pause the first device and play music from the second.

But sometimes either devices are playing sound, a less elegant way is to disconnect other devices.

Turn on/off Bluebooth from CLI

某次，合上笔记本盖子然后打开后，找不到蓝牙，而且在设置界面中也无法打开蓝牙。

rfkill block bluetooth
rfkill unblock bluetooth

参考

always a2dp_sink!

Sometimes it is noisy, and annoying “call from”. This is due to the profile, but using the GUI to change it seems not work. So try to work from the command line.

# list available cards
$ pacmd list-cards
    profiles:
        headset_head_unit: Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP) (priority 30, available: unknown)
        a2dp_sink: High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) (priority 40, available: yes)
        off: Off (priority 0, available: yes)
    active profile: <a2dp_sink>

if the active profile is headset_head_unit, it would be noisy. Tried

pacmd set-card-profile <card name> a2dp_sink

but it said “failed to set”.

However, after reconnecting, it works well, and it can easily switch between headset_head_unit and a2dp_sink.

Different CUDA version shown by nvcc and NVIDIA-smi

refer to Different CUDA versions shown by nvcc and NVIDIA-smi

CUDA has 2 primary APIs, the runtime and the driver API. Both have a corresponding version

The necessary support for the driver API (e.g. libcuda.so on linux) is installed by the GPU driver installer.

The necessary support for the runtime API (e.g. libcudart.so on linux, and also nvcc) is installed by the CUDA toolkit installer (which may also have a GPU driver installer bundled in it).

nvidia-smi: installed by the GPU driver installer, and generally has the GPU driver in view, not anything installed by the CUDA toolkit installer. nvcc: the CUDA compiler-driver tool that is installed with the CUDA toolkit, will always report the CUDA runtime version that it was built to recognize.

打开防火墙，sudo ufw allow 631/tcp

在同一局域网内的 Windows 设备中，添加该打印机，地址即为Ubuntu中浏览器的地址，注意将 127.0.0.1 换成局域网 ip。如果顺利的话，添加后需要添加驱动程序，可以在 HP 官网下载。

Add Virtual Memory¶

通过交换文件实现

# 创建大小为2G的文件swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1M count=2048
# 格式化
mkswap /mnt/swapfile
# 挂载
swapon /mnt/swapfile

注意文件应为 root:root，否则会提示

insecure file owner 1000, 0 (root) suggested.

另见 How to Resolve the Insecure warning in Swapon?

为了保证开机自动加载，在 /etc/fstab 加入

/mnt/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

具体每一列的含义可以通过 man fstab 查看。

挂载成功后就可以通过 free -h 查看内存情况。

swapfile on PSSD

如果 swapfile 在外接移动硬盘上，则开机时需要提前插好外接硬盘。否则会卡在开机那一步。反之，如果为了追求便携性不依赖于移动硬盘，则最后不要在移动硬盘中创建 swapfile.

参考 Linux下如何添加虚拟内存

这个方法也可以解决 “virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory” 的问题。

调整 swapiness，默认值为 60，

$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

越高表示越积极使用 swap 空间。

临时性使用

$ sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=80

参考 linux系统swappiness参数在内存与交换分区间优化

WiFi¶

Info

校园网突然无法打开微信图片，公众号文章也无法加载，无法 ping 通 mp.weixin.qq.com，但在服务器上可以。所以第一个自然想法是利用动态转发搭建隧道，即在本地端运行

$ ssh -D 30002 server

然后便可以通过 socks5://127.0.0.1:30002 进行代理。加了代理之后，首先能够在浏览器端打开公众号文章。但想要微信本身也进行代理，并不直接，可能因为 wine 套壳的原因，后来也没有继续细究。

另一种方式便是换 wifi。除了 CUHK1x，也可以使用 eduroam，点击连接时，竟然发现连接状态下的 security 是哈佛帐号，然而我并没有利用哈佛帐号连接过 eduroam，而且帐号早已失效。其原因，很可能就是因为当时连接 Harvard Secure 时，会下载一个 JoinNow，并在本地运行。

而此时所连接的 eduroam 中 security 便指向 joinnow 的两个密钥文件，

~/.joinnow/tls-client-certs$ ls
sw2-joinnow-client-cert-**************.crt
sw2-joinnow-client-cert-**************.p12

不过在该 wifi 下，不能直接访问服务器。于是想切换到学校帐号的 eduroam，但又想保留当前 profile。所以尝试直接复制 wifi profile 文件，

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections$ sudo cp A B

然后修改每个 profile 的细节，注意 uuid 也必须修改，运行 uuid 生成，不然会视为同一个连接。修改完成后重启网络服务，

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

参考

另外，命令行操作进行网络连接详见 https://www.makeuseof.com/connect-to-wifi-with-nmcli/

Delete Hotspot¶

升级到 Ubuntu 18.04 后，开机自动连接到 Hotspot，每次需要手动禁止并改成 Wifi 连接，这个可以直接删除保存好的 Hotspot 连接

cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
sudo rm Hotspot

参考 How to remove access point from saved list

WiFi Hotpot (16.04)¶

Refer to

几处不同：

选择 mode 时，直接选择 hotpot 即可，后面也无需更改文件
设置密码时位数不能少于 8 位
连接 WiFi 时似乎需要 enable wifi。

Keyboard¶

实验室有一支 IKBC CD 87T 蓝牙键盘，于是便想试试。

连接：详见说明书
Win 键失效：尝试按 Fn + Right Win 及左 Fn + Left Win，参考 IKBC键盘Win键失效的解决办法

1m_ipv4_udp_receive_buffer_errors¶

Info

The raw records can be found here.

After replacing one of 4GB RAM with 16GB one, it throws

1m_ipv4_udp_receive_buffer_errors

frequently, such as

Following the instructions

but no drops

wlp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.13.59.193  netmask 255.255.128.0  broadcast 10.13.127.255
        inet6 fe80::def:d34:a2c:da88  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

then try to enlarge net.core.rmem_max and net.core.rmem_default. The current values are

~$ sysctl net.core | grep mem
net.core.optmem_max = 20480
net.core.rmem_default = 212992
net.core.rmem_max = 212992
net.core.wmem_default = 212992
net.core.wmem_max = 212992

the update it via

~$ sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=1048576
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
~$ sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=2097152
net.core.rmem_max = 2097152
~$ sysctl net.core | grep mem
net.core.optmem_max = 20480
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 2097152
net.core.wmem_default = 212992
net.core.wmem_max = 212992

it seems to work since much fewer warning message of 1m_ipv4_udp_receive_buffer_errors
