Toggle btw compiz&metacity with fusion-icon in Ubuntu Hardy


Since gusty, compiz-fusion will start by default. I love eye candy but for resource shortage reason on my old box, sometime i need to switch to metacity. with alt-f2 and run 'metacity replace' is just work but not convenion. Thank for Tom that point me . Fusion-icon is use to switch between compiz and metacity window manager. For hardy, fusion-icon is in repos. installation is easy like
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo aptitude install fusion-icon

'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below.

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...
