X11 Forwarding and su/sudo

Ever been in the situation where you log on to a server as one user having X11 enabled, but then need to sudo to another one – and voila, your X11-sesison is long gone…

Solution provided here http://brandonhutchinson.com/wiki/X11_Forwarding_and_su/sudo

I did as root


cd ~
mv .Xauthority .Xauthority_old
ln -s ~diagnostics/.Xauthorithy .Xautorithy


and it all worked fine.

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it

Spent hours struggling with the stupid error “WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it”. I have two XML-documents one, which I need to copy a given node from and the other file where I first needed to remove the matching node then copy it from source to the target file. Trick is to use importNode, not just cloneNode


def copyOfSource = sourceProviders[0].cloneNode(true)
targetRoot.appendChild(targetDoc.importNode(copyOfSource, true))

Hours of work solved in few minutes just refining my Google search. Was about to post a question on http://stackoverflow.com and while preparing the question I needed some more background information. Tada…

New commuter bike

Needed a new bike in a hurry, bought the cheapest one available at XXL having hydraulic disc brakes.

Quite ok, need to replace the seat sometime, it is to big and soft.
