Are you as annoyed as I am about the superfluous screen real estate consumed but the toolbar buttons in Nautilus 3? Of course you are, that’s why the oracle brought you here. To remove them, modify /usr/share/nautilus/ui/nautilus-toolbar-ui.xml and comment out all the <toolitem> elements.
Came across this handy little hack today googlin around the internetz. On several occasions I’ve had the need to get the full device and report descriptors from an attached USB device. Today was another one of those occasions. If you run lsusb with the -v flag you will get a nice verbose output, but if [...]
In a previous post I listed 4 key items needed for BlackBerry development: Rapc compiler Signature tool Simulator Javaloader At the time of writing the first two worked fine. The third, Simulator, is if’y at best. And the fourth was just not possible. Until now. In late December, a saviour by the name of Nicolas [...]
A short time ago Handbrake began to ship with default encoding settings for the “Normal” profile using 2-pass h264 encoding. Sadly my XBox and XBMC just weren’t up to the task of decoding all those fancy h264 bits in software anymore. Naturally instead of adjusting the encoding parameters, I decided to begin the hunt for [...]
Debug session with eclipse in Linux Disclaimer: I am not an expert with wine nor have I ever claimed to be. But if you setup an override for the msxml dll it seems as though the BlackBerry simulator is a bit more reliable in Linux. In fact, the JDWP seems to actually work for debugging [...]
Now this process isn’t 100% ideal. If you are an experienced developer you probably already know you need four key components. Rapc compiler Signature tool Simulator Javaloader The first two components works fabulously in Linux. The second (signature tool) needs a kick in the pants to work (shame shame shame!). The third is hit or [...]
This was actually pretty trivial since the MDS simulator is pure Java, and a good portion of it is actually just Tomcat. Since Tomcat is not developed by RIM, the chances where pretty good that there where no hard coded backslash directory separators (no, I will never let that go) MDS simulator log output All [...]
8800 Simulator in Wine/Linux Call me crazy but I just can’t seem to accept that if you want to (or have to) write BlackBerry software you’re stuck with Windows. It bugs me. There is good news and bad news regarding the simulator. The good news is with a recent version of Wine you can actually [...]
Being obsessive and all, I decided to sit down and figure out why the signature tool doesn’t seem to work in Linux. After all it’s a rather trivial Java application. I suspected from the start that the symptom was some sloppy programming on RIM’s part, hard coding Windows style path names and my suspicion was [...]
