Customize icons on ubuntu desktop

One thing I want to do for a long time is remove mounted partition icons that default show on my ubuntu desktop. Nothing wrong with those icons, it's just too many icons and some I never go to browse into it. Now what to do. Open gconf-editor by hit [Alt+F2] and type gconf-editor. Go to apps->nautilus->desktop then check out "volume_visible".

You can also customize others as you want like adding computer and trash icon to your desktop.

Don't wanna sound like a smartass but I think you can remove mounted items by simply right clicking the desktop then change desktop background where there should be a tab which shows which icons to enable for mounted types.

I wouldn't know the terminal way cuz im still a noob :)

hope that helped

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...
