Finally I have begun my work blog. In case you think "what huge conceit", it really is primarily for my own sake. But surely it would help someone, so its public.
Besides I've always wanted to fool around with Typo3's tt_news extension. Looks good so far. I'll get the styling done (one day).

Flex Data Services installation on Ubuntu 27-07-07 16:52 Age: 1 yrs 
I recently had to install Flex Data Services (now called LiveCycle Data Services, but I installed FDS, so that's what I'm calling it here) again, and it reminded me of what a minor pain it was. So here it is, in case I need to install it a 3rd time. I run my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn without monitors, so I obviously had to put in the headless server configuration in the flex-config.xml files like so: <headless-server>true</headless-server> Easy. But no... I forgot one more thing. In order for the Java VM to really run headless, I needed to change the jvm configuration file jvm.config: java.args=-Xms32m -Xmx384m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -Djava.awt.headless=true The parts in italics I had to add in. It makes sense now that you think about it, but it doesnt say anywhere in the installation documents. Maybe you don't really need it. I don't know. All I know is I needed to do that for the next problem to appear. The default installation of Ubuntu Feisty doesn't have a few libraries that the FDS sample applications needed to run. Namely libXp6 and libXtst. Easy. Just aptitude them (or apt-get, or whatever). Easy peasy Japanesey. |
