Jalbum on Debian Squeeze / Sid (Unstable)

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I wanted to install Jalbum on Debian GNU/Linux and as usual with GNU/Linux there weresome complications. This time the Java installer won’t run reporting error:
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH debian .
I really wanted it badly to work on Debian and after some time I happily managed to make it work.
Here is how:

1. Execute:# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-source sun-java6-demo2. Execute:# update-alternatives –config javaThere are 5 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java). Selection Path Priority Status————————————————————* 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java 1043 auto mode 1 /usr/bin/gij-4.3 43 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/jamvm 10 manual mode 3 /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode 4 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode 5 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java 1043 manual modeSelect 4 as default.
Now go and Execute
sh Jalbuminstall.binEND—–

Disable default Thunberbird annoying Display Images blocking (Display Pictures in Thunderbird by default)

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Since quite some time I’m experiencing this annoying behaviour on side of Thunderbird. Every time I receive a new mail which includes embedded html code with pictures, Thunderbird blocks them until I explicitly select the picture and allow it to display or either allow picture displaying for the whole domain for the future references. Today I decided at last to put an end to this boredom and look for a solution.
Here is the way I changed this terrible behaviour:
1. Go to Thunderbird “Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor”2. Look for the variables record mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_imageuse the mouse to select “toggle” value to switch the default value from”true” to “false”.That should be it. END—–
