At the time of writing this openconnect in Ubuntu 12.10 have a bug, that disconnects the client from the VPN.
There is an issue for it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openconnect/+bug/1072328
And a solution from Michael R. Crusoe.
Just do:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:misterc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
That’s it.
Occasionally I use bittorent, and I really liked Azureus (or Vuze). But they switched attitude.
Azureus: A nice application, with lot a features. Built on Eclipse platform, – a model of how great is Eclipse RCP. I’ve been using it since about version 3.x, – about 2 yrs or more. It was one of my first torrent client. But things change. Licensing changed, interface changed, and now you could occasionally get an annoying pop-up calling for donation, – check Wikipedia on Vuze for details. I dislike this kind of attitude, and I started to search for a new client.
Under Ubuntu Transmssion would be a natural choice. But Transmission had a slow bootup, and freezed from time to time for a half minute or more. Then I decided to search for other free, featureful torrent client. I check wikipedia as usually, and after few hours of evaluations, I choose my new bittorent client: Deluge.
Deluge is really nice. Fancy, easy to use interface, with all the stuff I need: It has uPnP support, so no router hacking, has support for moving finished stuff to a new location, etc.. If you are also disappointed with Vuze consider Deluge!
There is only one thing I’m missing: the search. – Vuze/Azureus get that rigth, in my oppinion.
To be honest, I was hopping that Vuze will provide service-on-demand, pay-per-view (download), but that did not happened.
After a lot of work and some traveling I’m back, and I’m about to write about how do I manage to use Mac for Java development. (Note: This is the last part of the Apple Project series.)
First of all, let me describe what I use and how do I/we use it.
Eclipse is our choice of IDE. We use Subversion as SCM, Maven as a build system/dependency management/reporting/documentation/etc.. Beside these we use, (just to mention few that could be in relation with OS):
Primarily we are building web applications, backed with RDBMS – so I need a some local database for my Mac, and our choice of RDBMS is PostgreSQL, but we use Oracle and DB2 as well.
Eclipse SVN plugin Subverisve comes with javaHl support for windows, but not for linux.
Under linux you could use SVNKit, but that is somewhat slower, and a bit buggy. That is an out-of-box solution. But you could use javaHl JNI svn client too.
My adventure in the world of Apples goes on. As I mostly liked the iron of the MacBook, now it is time to go on and see if I can do usual task as simple as in Ubuntu.
So I gathered things I do mostly:
(update: may 29., as a result of feedback)
As a Linux fan, I’m in minority in a company I work. Or at least if we look at the fact that there are about 140 Windows workstations, and just about 3 Linux workstations. – This is a result of company policy and the lack of time and knowledge at support level. This might change, but it would need really lot of time.
For those windows workstations, there are of course an NT domain defined, which is controlled with Active Directory (AD). As the member of the team I need to access shares of co-workers and the central file server. Read more…
I use Eclipse as my primary IDE under Ubuntu Linux (now Hardy). IMHO it’s a great combination. Stable, fast, clean. But from time to time, as Eclipse evolves, and there are more and more plugins I use, I ran into strange erratic behaviour of Eclipse. First there were the nasty problem with PermGenSpece, and now this…
