VS Code not working on Ubuntu when connected using X2Go

As title, hit this issue yesterday. There is a workaround by following steps:

linkirin@trusty:~$ sudo -i
root@trusty:~# cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
root@trusty:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# cp libxcb.so.1.1.0 libxcb.so.1.1.0code
root@trusty:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# sed -i 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' libxcb.so.1.1.0code
root@trusty:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# ll libxcb.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 Jan 15  2014 libxcb.so.1 -> libxcb.so.1.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125392 Jan 15  2014 libxcb.so.1.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125392 Oct 28 15:27 libxcb.so.1.1.0code
root@trusty:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# rm libxcb.so.1 && ln -s libxcb.so.1.1.0code libxcb.so.1
root@trusty:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu# ll libxcb.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 Oct 28 15:29 libxcb.so.1 -> libxcb.so.1.1.0code
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125392 Jan 15  2014 libxcb.so.1.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125392 Oct 28 15:27 libxcb.so.1.1.0code

除草一下，打個招呼

上一篇文章已經是 2015 年底，而 2016 年都進入第四季了啊～Anyway, WordPress 如常自動更新到 4.6.1 好一陣子了。雖然這個部落格很少在更新，Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, 和英文的部落格還是常常在碎碎唸啊～

X11 for macOS as a server of remote Ubuntu 14.04

Recently the 13″ MBPr got upgrade to macOS Sierra 10.12. If I want to let it can act as remote X11 server of Ubuntu 14.04 (my main working VM in intranet), I have to install a X.Org X Window System that runs on macOS.

XQuartz is for this purpose , see https://www.xquartz.org/.

Then the file /etc/ssh/sshd_conf needs to be modified, and the ssh service needs up. After ssh to Ubuntu, there are some error/warning messages:

Last login: Thu Oct  6 14:32:12 2016 from 10.0.0.1
manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
linkirin@trusty:~$ gvim
Fontconfig warning: ignoring UTF-8: not a valid region tag

To fix these, add two more lines in the file:

linkirin@trusty:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

linkirin@trusty:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl

That makes my left hand has easier life…

I choose this:

sudo vi /etc/default/keyboard

then change

XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"
