Changing the Default Java Vendor (or Version) in Ubuntu

misterdom — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:34:13 +0000

Run sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the current configuration and possibilities.

Run sudo update-java-alternatives -s XXXX to set the XXX java version as default. For Sun Java 6 this would be sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Run java -version to ensure that the correct version is being called.

Howto SVN Clean your Folders

misterdom — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 09:32:27 +0000

This command is useful when you want to clean a directory tree from all the .svn folders it might contain:

find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;

Basically it “finds” all the .svn folders and excutes rm -rf on each of these.

SVN (RapidSVN) from Behind a Proxy on Ubuntu

misterdom — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:31:05 +0000

Today I was trying to access our SVN server from behind a proxy. I configured my Ubuntu general proxy settings but actually that still did not work for the SVN client. After a bit of web-browsing I figured out that the SVN client has its own proxy setting: go to:~/.subversion and edit the server file. Uncomment and edit these lines:

[global] http-proxy-host = YOURPROXY http-proxy-port = YOURPROXYPORT

“Metric (TFM) not found” Error With the IEEE Transaction Latex Style on Linux Ubuntu

misterdom — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:53:24 +0000

I kept getting that error:

Metric (TFM) not found

when trying to compile latex documents based on the IEEE Transaction Style.

I eventually found out that my Ubuntu was missing an important font package, namely the “texlive-fonts-recommended” package, this solved it:

sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended
