  Epic Fail in Ubuntu – X Windows (The Copy Paste Bug) 

  Share on Facebook

  I have been using Ubuntu 9.10 for a while now and one major copy-paste problem in Ubuntu (GNOME DE) struck me!!

  The problem is, if you copy some text from a file and you close that file (i.e. close the source), the copied text also disappears! Initially I ignored the problem, but after a while, I had it! It was really very annoying if you copied some important link and you close Firefox, the link was lost!

  When I went out and searched for the problem then I found this, the actual bug report on the Ubuntu Bug Tracker. According to the Canonical guys, it is a system feature of the X-Windows System, as per its design, it does not have any persistent store mechanism and that sucks! (Here are the X-windows Clipboard manager specifications which is presently deployed on Ubuntu 9.10) (More …)

  JMS application on Ubuntu 9.10 using Eclipse Ganymede 

  Share on Facebook

  If you a windows “power” user, a shift to linux will be really good, but it also comes with little packages of frustration sometimes.

  I was trying to install JBOSS 4.3.2 (which was very smooth) and trying to run a JMS application. This is a very easy task in Windows, but since, I am new to linux, some easy tasks became so annoying!!! But later I realized it was much simpler once you get the hang of it. So, here are the steps to run a JMS application on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) (More …)

  Sync iPod on Ubuntu 9.10 using Virtual Box 3.0.10 

  Share on Facebook

  Syncing iPod/iTouc/iPhone with Linux is a major headache!

  UPDATE: Rhythmbox works out of of the box with iPod, check here

  I tried many softwares; the so called iTunes alternatives, but none of them actually work!

  The one guaranteed way to sync iPod with iTunes on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10, 32bit) is by using VirtualBox and tweaking your Linux box.

  What I am using?
