In: Java| Linux| Software| Windows

14 Mar 2010

Lately I had problems configuring the JMX remote management for tomcat servers running on Ubuntu linux servers. After configuring everything necessary like the com.sun.management.jmxremote JVM parameters and the password files I still got connection errors when trying to connect from my Windows system to the server via jconsole.
I found this bug entry for the Sun [...]

In: Software| Windows

11 Feb 2010

I am just preparing our Windows 2003 Small Business Server to be upgraded to Small Business Server 2008. Therefor I tried to install the VMware converter tools to convert the old server to a virtual machine before upgrading it.
My problem was that the installer always complained about not being able to start the converter service [...]

In: Software| Tube| Windows

28 Nov 2009

Since some days the ORF (the Austrian national public service broadcaster) started his video on demand site http://tvthek.orf.at/. I found it quite nice but to make use of it I had to install the Windows Media Player Firefox plugin otherwise it did only work in the Internet Explorer.
Another problem my grandma had with it was [...]

Installing BlackBerry Desktop Manager under Windows 7

In: Blackberry| Downloads| Software| Windows

11 Nov 2009

Yesterday a friend of mine told me that he received an error message while trying to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1 under Windows 7 64 Bit. I told him that the Desktop Manager installed and runs correctly on my system (which is the same) so we tried to find out what caused his problem. [...]

Windows 7 Ultimate backup failed

In: Software| Tools| Windows

27 Oct 2009

I was happy the first time I used the built in backup feature of Windows 7 RC1. It was a very easy tool that allowed me to backup my whole system (or just selected partitions) to another external disk or a network share.
Today I tried to backup my current Windows 7 installation before updating the [...]

Some weeks ago I tried to install the android client of our time tracking system timr on my HTC Magic using Eclipse. Normally the Android Debug Bridge (adb) recognizes connected Android phones and the dialog in Eclipse allows you to select on which device you want to install the application you are trying to debug.

Improving cygwin console (even more)

In: Java| Software| Tools| Windows

17 Sep 2009

As I stated out in one of my last posts I am using cygwin a long time now and I am using it more and more within the last months. This is mainly caused by switching to git as my new favorite source code management tool and using maven for every Java project I am [...]

BitDefender failed me (again)

In: Security| Software| Windows

16 Sep 2009

Today I had problems running my newly installed cygwin 1.7 beta and minTTY after updating BitDefender. It only took me some minutes to find out that BitDefender was the cause of the problem (much faster than the last time).
After fidling around with some settings and trying some workarounds from various web resources I decided to [...]

Improving cygwin console

In: Software| Tools| Windows

9 Sep 2009

I am using cygwin for a long time now. It is one of the first tools I install on the Windows systems I am working on.
The bad thing about cygwin is that it uses the Windows Command/Console to run the bash. Selecting text, copy and paste are really hard to do inside the Windows Console [...]

git under Windows 7

In: Software| Windows

24 Aug 2009

There are already some posts out there discussing this issue which git in cygwin has under Windows Vista. It will be no surprise if I tell you that the same problem still exists under Windows 7.
Microsofts UAC looks for executables with “install”, “update” or “setup” in their name and requires user account elevation to execute [...]
