To install Sun/Oracle java 6 on Ubuntu Lucid do the following in a Terminal window:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin

If this says: E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate then do:

sudo bash -c " echo 'deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner' >>/etc/apt/sources.list "
sudo apt-get update

And try again.

When you have installed the packages you should do:

sudo update-java-alternatives -v -s java-6-sun

To allow DHCPv6

ip6tables -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p udp --dport 547 -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT  -i ppp0 -p udp --dport 546 -j ACCEPT

Suddenly the buttons in the title bar all shifted to the left. To restore the old situation run:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

This is a fix for the problem that occurs when running vmware on a system with avahi.

avahi starts publishing the addresses from the vmnet interfaces with the hostname.

To fix create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-vmware.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="vmnet?" GOTO="vmnet_start"
GOTO="vmnet_end"

LABEL="vmnet_start"

ACTION=="add",	RUN+="/sbin/ifconfig $env{INTERFACE} -multicast"

LABEL="vmnet_end"

Tested on: Ubuntu hardy, VMWare 6.02

The shoutcast bug surfaced again in Ubuntu Intrepid, Ubuntu karmic.

To fix:

 sudo sed -i 's/Icy-MetaData:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/lib/vlc/access/libaccess_http_plugin.so

Tested with vlc-nox / vlc Version: 0.9.4-1ubuntu3

If this doesn't work then:

sudo sed -i 's/Icy-/Xcy-/g' /usr/lib/vlc/access/libaccess_http_plugin.so

Works on "VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye" (1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1)

Het komt niet vaak voor, maar toch. Soms heb je gewoon wat hulp nodig met een onwillige linux server. Misschien stopt hij tijdens het booten, of heb je een fout gemaakt tijdens het configureren van logical volumes.

We kunnen op redelijk korte termijn je helpen met het vinden van een oplossing.

There are a few utilities in the Hardy release of Ubuntu, that don't play shoutcast streams correctly.

These are: vlc, gmplayer, mplayer, totem.

When a shoutcast MP3 audio stream is played you can hear chirps and other dropouts.

This is due to some data mixed in with the audio stream which is not filtered out correctly. Instead of showing the data in the player the software tries to convert the data into sound.

To fix this problem:

Execute as root:

 sed -i 's/Icy-MetaData:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/bin/gmplayer
 sed -i 's/Icy-MetaData:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/bin/mplayer

If you want your showcenter to automatically find your oxylbox webserver, then you have to install avahi-daemon, and create a file:

/etc/avahi/services/difi.service file with the following content:


<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<!-- See avahi.service(5) for more information about this configuration file -->
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">Oxylbox on %h</name>
<service>
<type>_difi._tcp</type>
<port>8000</port>
</service>
</service-group>


8000 is the port number of the apache instance of your oxylbox server.
