After one of the Ubuntu 11.10 updates I was affected by some really weird colors in the embedded flash player. Basically, every movie looked similar to the one below (notice the dominance of the bluish color): The solution is to disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings (RMB -> Settings) just as shown here: After [...]

Recently I needed to find out what GNU/Linux a terminal-only server is using. The most obvious thing I could think of was to use: uname -a Unfortunately, it will return the kernel information only – no details about the distribution though. The distribution info is located in a different file which is dependent on… the [...]

It’s at least the third time I try to find a solution for the unavailable codecs proclem during rendering video project in Kdenlive. This time, I’ll write it down and link to this great site to make sure I’ll be able to easily find it next time ;-) The process is quite simple (I’m using [...]

In the Axis2 (which you can download from this site) bin subdirectory, there is a java2wsdl.sh file which can be used to generate a WSDL file from plain Java classes. Below is a very rough example how to use it: /home/palli/axis2-1.5.4/bin/java2wsdl.sh -o /home/palli/ -of Test.wsdl -sn WSAdditionalOperations -cp . -cn com.nullhaus.ediploma.server.WSAdditionalOperations Used arguments: o – [...]

The SNX was throwing a ‘failed to initialize’ error without any details despite the right credentials. To identify the error, I needed to execute the snx from the command line (snx) which [...]

To do so, you need to modify following file (the firefox version might, and probably will be, different than the one posted below): /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/components/nsLoginManager.js (in Windows it might be something like C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsLoginManager.js) Change this: _isAutocompleteDisabled : function [...]

It seems that in Ubuntu 10.04 the tun module (which is used to create fake network interface) is compiled into the kernel instead of being a module as in Ubuntu 9.10. It results in error while running the snx command: FATAL: Module tun not found. This problem can be solved either by recompiling the kernel [...]

Executing this code will allow you to get back to firefox 3.x fonts rendering in firefox 3.5. It also makes Kadu fonts look much smoother. cd /etc/fonts/ sudo mv conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf . sudo ln -s conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf conf.d/ sudo mv conf.d/10-hinting.conf . sudo ln -s conf.avail/10-hinting.conf conf.d/ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig Be the first to like.
