\n– VMWare<\/a> 1.04 Server runs better than 1.03 under Feisty. It even compiles on its own, no installer-hacks.
\n– Oracle<\/a> DB 10.2.0.1 runs fine. No relinking needed (but don’t tell Oracle, they have been relinking the network libraries since the early days. It worked then, so it will work now…. *sigh*)
\n– Firefox WITH Flash works. Via nswrapperplugin. The Flash plugin times out (so it seems) but refreshing a page works. No need to restart Firefox.
\n– Compiz window manager works like a charm. Very nice. Real rain outside, and raindrops on the desktop!<\/p>\n
\n– Netbeans<\/a> 6.0 beta 1 starts, but the window stays blank
\n– JDeveloper 11g (tech preview 2) does not start at all and gives a “can’t connect to X11 window server” error. Yes, the DISPLAY variable is set correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
