How to strip of the verbose stuff from an Android Logcat dump?

Just upgrading to Plesk 11.09, has broken my web server setup. Because of some special resource sharing, I need to include a lib folder for every vhost domain, which does not work any more with the new plesk. The only fix I found, is the following:

Edit the php.php template of plesk:

 nano /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/service/php.php

Rewrite the settings. Instead of

<?php
if (array_key_exists('enabled', $OPT) && $OPT['enabled']) {
    echo "php_admin_flag engine on\n";
 
    if (isset($OPT['settings'])) {
        echo $OPT['settings'];

Window management under MacOSX is usually a pain, e.g. switching the focus between different windows, as it happens largely in GIMP.

With the following lines, this double click behavior can be disabled:

defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool false
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_click_through -bool true

Just updated to the newest Android SDK-Tools and our build process broke. We have rather complex multi library dependencies and with the old tool chain we just updated the main project which runs fine with ant.

But now we need to update each of our Android lib with "android update lib-project". When compiling it through Ant or Eclipse we get the well-kown error:

       [dx] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
       [dx] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: LXYZ;
       [dx] 	at com.android.dx.dex.file.ClassDefsSection.add(ClassDefsSection.java:123)

Just needed a ARM compiled version of Bluecove 2.1.0 for Java+Bluez Bluetooth support. This version is known to work on a GuruPlug with ARM5 compatible CPU and Debian. Perhaps this binary is also useful for others. For the source look at the original Bluecove website, this is just the current version.

By default a Courier IMAP configured server only allows 4 connections per IP which causes usually a lot of problems with nearly every eMail client, causing for example the following exception:

Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server.

Then edit your imap config

sudo nano /etc/courier-imap/imapd

And extend the connection limits

...
MAXDAEMONS=80
...
MAXPERIP=40
...

Don't forget to restart the server

sudo /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart

Just had the problem that after some updates users can't login anymore at the atmail webmail system of the a plesk managed server. Searching around the web I found the following solution which worked for me:

sudo nano /var/www/atmail/libs/Atmail/Global.php

Insert the following in the AtmailGlobal class:

public function __destruct()
{
  session_write_close();
}

It fixes some bad session logic of Atmail.

I got some problems with my old nvidia card (fx5200) under ubuntu 10.10 because tv-out was always black and white (I already use the legacy nvidia driver because noveau always flickers every 12s). What is more the control panel crashes on all tv options, thus I can't configure it properly through the gui.

Here is what I added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Add this to the section "device"

    Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or SVIDEO or RGB
    Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G"

Here are some options for the settings program to apply at session time.

MacOSX has some issues I ran into, because I don't expect the way it works on a Mac. Well I don't think this has benefits:
