If you are using amd64, you will find that java web start applications simply don't work when using 64 bit java. If you run the javaws command, you are presented with this message: $ javaws
* javaws is not available for sun-jdk-1.6 on x86_64
* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs on some architectures This is not good if there is a web application you absolutely have to run (and as web 2.0 becomes more popular, this is an increasing need -- there is actually a post at the sun web site that 64 bit support for javaws in native java will be available in early 2009....but thats still a long way off). Of course, you know I have a fix or I wouldn't be telling you about the problem. If visiting from the front page, click on read more link. Write Comment (0 comments) |

I noticed my laptop was running out of disk space. Granted, I had been using equo for my package management ever since it came out. I figured it was probably related to it. I cleaned up most of the normal crud that accumolates on the drive and was able to free up about 6GB of space. However, I have my root partition at about 45GB. I decided to cleanup equo temparay files. Have a look below at the before and after running the command (the command is simply 'equo cleanup' run as root): localhost ~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 46G 39G 6.4G 86% /
/dev/sda5 46G 39G 6.4G 86% /
udev 10M 180K 9.9M 2% /dev
/dev/shm 939M 0 939M 0% /dev/shm
rc-svcdir 1.0M 152K 872K 15% /lib/rc/init.d
cachedir 46G 39G 6.4G 86% /lib/splash/cache
/dev/sda1 62G 47G 15G 77% /mnt/Vista
/dev/sda2 92M 43M 47M 48% /boot
localhost ~ # equo cleanup
>> * Cleaned: 3887 files and directories
localhost ~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 46G 30G 16G 66% /
/dev/sda5 46G 30G 16G 66% /
udev 10M 180K 9.9M 2% /dev

/dev/sda1 62G 47G 15G 77% /mnt/Vista
/dev/sda2 92M 43M 47M 48% /boot There was over 10GB of files related to equo that was cleaned up! Write Comment (0 comments) |

I bought a Canon 50D, the latest and greatest in the **D series. I actually bought it several days ago on October 6, 2008 along with the EF 28-135 F/3.4-5.6 IS USM lens, battery grip, spare battery, and a new manfrotto tripod and head. I haven't had a lot of chances to take pictures with it yet due to my father passing away on October 12 (also my birthday). However, I did add the flickr app to the right side of this web site so you can see my latest uploads. I am sure there will be pictures there before long. Write Comment (0 comments) |
