Upgrade to Feisty Fawn(Part One: Edgy first)

Three days ago, Ubuntu 7.04(Feisty Fawn) arrived. I'm still on Dapper, I'm very happy with it but decide to upgrade to Feisty because I want to try firefox2, this post says it does better hardware compat and I can't wait for next lts version that someone said "may be 2009".

I'm not sure upgrading from Dapper to Feisty directly is possible or not. But ubuntu site say "You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") from Ubuntu 6.10 ("Edgy Eft")", so go to Edgy by

pnix@pnix-a7:~$ gksu "update-manager -c"

It will lunch update-manager with option -c(or equivalently --check-dist-upgrades). This option switch instructs Update Manager to look for upgrades. By default, the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS release will not offer that automatically because of its long support cycle and high stability. Then click the "Check" button.

then need to download about 771 M

Let's go. Hope that upgrade will be perfect

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...

Shadow Text Effect on JLabel

I found the trick to create shawdow text on JLabel from java forum . Instead of use JLabel.setText() set string to JLabel, he create Image and get Graphics2D by Image.createGraphics(). Then use TextLayout draw overlapping string on that Graphics2D. example code int w = 500; int h = 120; Font font = new Font("Lucida Bright", Font.ITALIC, 72); String text = "Shadow Text"; BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); Graphics2D g = image.createGraphics(); adjustGraphics(g); //start off all white: g.setPaint(Color.WHITE); g.fillRect(0, 0, w, h); //draw "shadow" text: to be blurred next TextLayout textLayout = new TextLayout(text, font, g.getFontRenderContext()); g.setPaint(new Color(128,128,255)); textLayout.draw(g, 15, 105); g.dispose(); //blur the shadow: result is sorted in image...
