My Amazon.com Wish List

Aptana: JVM terminated. Exit code=1

[EDIT] This has been resolved with the new update for xserver-xorg-core

After a recent upgrade to xserver-xorg-core on ubuntu, my Aptana stop working and was giving me the following error:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/bin/java
-Xmx384M
-Xms128M
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-jar /apps/aptana/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-launcher /apps/aptana/AptanaStudio
-name Aptana
-showsplash 600
-exitdata e8009 Studio
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xmx384M
-Xms128M
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-jar /apps/aptana/startup.jar

Finally, I figured going back to the previous version would fix the problem, so I did the following:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8

Error installing flashplugin, md5sum mismatch

When I tried to install the flashplugin on my Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit Desktop, I kept getting the following error:

Download done.
md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

What I ended up doing is the following:

Installing CFM on OpenSuSE/Ubuntu

When installing CFMX on OpenSuSE/Ubuntu the installer will exit complaining about missing lib files, something along the lines of:

Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
nawk: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The problem is caused by a directive within the installer file, which triggers somekind of bug that OpenSuSE has in relation with java (or so i assume). The instruction that causes the problem is:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

The following commands uncomment all occurences of export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL within the installer, allowing CFMX to be installed

cp coldfusion.bin coldfusion.bin.bak
cat coldfusion.bin.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > coldfusion.bin
The above commands first make a bakup of the original installer and then uncomments all occurences of the offending command in the original installer.

CFMX can then be installed.

Sound Rip

Here is the method for recording sound directly from the sound card.

1. open console > type alsamixer , enter

2. Press F4 , use arrow keys to highlight Captur , press space bar as required ( till you can see L & R )

3. Now you need to select another channel, (again use arrow keys,space bar) , the channel that worked for me was 'mix' . So first try by highlighting 'mix' , press spacebar.

4. Now simply use

arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -b 160 -x - out.mp3

Wireless for Inspiron 6000

The drivers I used are attached to the message.

I'm running Ubuntu i386 Dapper.

1) Blacklist bcm43xx driver

Open a Terminal window

Type "sudo vim etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"

At the bottom add the lines

# get rid of the default kernel drivers blacklist bcm43xx

2) Make sure network interfaces file is correct

Type "sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces"

Remove all comments ('#') that you see so that all devices are handled by the default network manager.

Then reboot and make sure the wireless light goes out.

3) Install ndiswrapper Install ndiswrapper-utils, "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils"

4) Conigure ndiswrapper Open terminal and navigate the folder where your drivers are."cd Desktop/bcm43xx"

Type "sudo ndiswrapper -i oem3.inf". Then type "sudo ndiswrapper -m"

Type "sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper"Change the one line in that file to read "alias eth1 ndiswrapper"

Now you should reboot so all the drivers load.

Once you reboot the wireless light on your laptop should be lit. If it worked, you should be able to click the Network Manager icon in the top right. It will probably show a disconnected connection because the computer is not plugged in. Left click it and select eth1 from the drop down menu. Click Configure Click Wireless Connection, then Properties. Here just enter your network information. If you're using an unprotected network you should only have to type yout SSID.

Click OK and you should now be connected! If a green signal meter and connected network icon appear in the upper right you'll know it worked.
