Experience of ubuntu karmic and the fix of eclipse
Thanks, Arsenek, for your nice prologue.
I just upgraded the ubuntu to 9.10 rc for the machine in office this week.
It’s cool.
The new input method is easy to use.You just need to apt-get purge ibus and reinstall them. I think the package in the cd image is out-of-date.
Also, I installed a new icon theme, Nerdy Lines. Then I found much icons didn’t work correctly, so I fixed most of them. As the license of origin work is cc-by-nc-nd 2.0, so my modification can’t be released.
Only got one problem of karmic today, I found that eclipse can’t create the new project / import a existed project / quick search.
Lots guys reported the same issue everywhere. It seems a problem about the gtk library. A easy solution is
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true cd ~/share/eclipse/ ./eclipse
Please copy it to a shell script in the PATH to replace the eclipse symbol link.
If you got another problem which is in the eclipse starting up stage — eclipse dies at one small blank popup window. I just can tell it’s caused by the XULRunner. You can uninstall it and get a standalone version of firefox.
Update Oct.31 2009 : The home machine is also updated to the karmic.
