Blogging the days...

As I've recently gotten this nice laptop, I've found that the light sensor really makes more problems then it solves so I'm shutting it down in both Windows (Fn+A) and in Linux. Under linux all you need to do is: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch This fix is valid only for the current session, to persist the settings just install sysfsutils and then in /etc/sysfs.conf put devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch=0

So let's say you try to install JBuilder 2008 under Windows Vista (32bit). Did all went smoothly? A friend of mine got a nice JVM terminated Exit code=-1 error. It would seem that if you modify the JBuilder.ini -Xmx parameter (initially over 800M) to 700M or 600M and if you run reset_JBuilder.bat it might finish the installation. An alternative is to modify JBuilder.ini the moment it gets created so you don't have to wait twice. Also it would seem sometimes class diagrams won't show classes. My friend deleted all com.ibm.icu* packages and jars under JBuilder and put com.ibm.icu_3.8.1.v20080530.jar from eclipse 3.4 to the jbuilder 2088 plugins directory. For the moment things seem to function.
