gusty firefox + google toolbar = hang

I love google toolbar and it's my number one online bookmark for a long time. After upgrade to gusty I feel that my firefox is not stable as it use to be. My firefox is freeze on some site that try to open second window. I'm not sure what's wrong firefox or toolbar but I know that after uninstall toolbar the problem gone. [to uninstall go to "Settings" > "Help" > "Uninstall" option on toolbar]
Now I need something to replace google toobar jobs. Not too hard to find this.
"Firefox Google Bookmark" for bookmarks. After install this extensions your firefox will has new menu "GBookmarks". below is screenshot

Another thing i need is gmail notifyer, there are many firefox extension and linux apps can do this job. For me i choose checkgmail.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo aptitude install checkgmail
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
...
Building tag database... Done      
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$

note: for now look like checkgmail from repos has problem about authorization. If you have a problem, go to get latest version from svn should fix it.
wget http://checkgmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/checkgmail/checkgmail
sudo mv checkgmail /usr/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/checkgmail

Thanks to hotweiss from ubuntuforums for the trick.

Last, Happy new year 2008. :D

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...
