Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) 10.4 Lucid on Asus T91MT

Submitted by christian on Fri, 07/23/2010 - 19:29

 This is a blog post about installing UNR 10.4 (Lucid) on a Asus t91mt convertible Netbook with GMA500 (poulsbo) drivers and full multitouch touchscreen support.

This is basically a summary of several blog posts I read throug for the installation proces, but I found no summarizing HowTo with some simple steps to do this task, so I do this here. 
 
1. Install UNR 10.4
  • Download the UNR distro ISO from http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
  • Follow the instructions on that site to create an bootable USB drive from the ISO
  • Plug the USB drive to your t91mt and boot, press the F2 key on to select the USB drive to boot from.
  • Follow the install instructions

2. Install touchscreen with multitouch support

LaTeX, BibTex, multibib and TeXlipse ramblings

Submitted by christian on Sat, 08/29/2009 - 15:37

Oh Boy!! This is about when its starts to get nasty with LaTeX editing.

I'am writing my Diplomathesis at the moment, and I choosed LaTex for the typesetting, which is normally without a doubt the best choice you can take for that task.
But I'm now at a point, where it starts to get nasty...

For the purpose of splitting my bibliography references into two bibliographies (one for the referred normal scientific literature and one for referred websites).

Submitted by christian on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 12:01

One of the few available CityGML Viewers out there is LandXplorer CityGML Viewer from Autodesk.
As you can find out on their homepage, it is a proprietary product and at the moment only available for MS Windows Platforms.
This is normally bad news fro Linux users like me. But luckily there is wine.

Submitted by christian on Fri, 07/24/2009 - 12:02

Hello,

I tried to setup a deegree-WPVS on a 64Bit Ubuntu Linux environment and encountered some Problems with that. The thing that wondered me, was, that I first made this procedure on my Laptop, running Ubuntu 9.04 (but in 32Bit environment), and everything went fine without a problem.

On my 64Bit Desktop it gave me the following error (in catalina.out):

Silverlight on Ubuntu Linux with Moonlight

Submitted by christian on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 16:56

I was very curious on the Linux Silverlight port called Moonlight, because VirtualEarth3D runs with Silverlight.
When you access a Silverlight enabled page via Firefox on a Linux machine you get forwarded here to download a firefox plugin.

HowTo: Tomcat6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (strato v-power server)

Submitted by christian on Fri, 01/02/2009 - 11:04

1. Make shure you have a java-jdk installed.

2. Download the actual tar.gz file from the tomcat homepage. (I used 'apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz')

3. unpack the tar.gz file and move it to /usr/local/tomcat


tar xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz
mv apache-tomcat-6.0.18 /usr/local/tomcat

4. create an init script for tomcat

nano /etc/init.d/tomcat

5. Paste the following code in that script.
(take care of the java path depending on your java installation
sun version: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
gcj version: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj)

HowTo: Install Sun Java 6 JDK on Strato-V-Power-Server with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Submitted by christian on Thu, 01/01/2009 - 20:47

The apt sources of the default Ubuntu 8.04 installation of the Strato V-power servers are not set to multiverse. So when you want to install the sun-java packages, you have to add multiverse.

For this just do the following:

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and add the string "multiverse" at the end of every 'deb' line.
The result should look like this:

# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
