Fedora 18 Spherical Cow

I've recently installed Fedora 18 as a server in text mode only ; After a few days I wanted the gnome desktop ;
only two commands for that :
yum groupinstall gnome-desktop
startx &

Not having a powerful videocard in this server , I've switched to gnome fallback mode aka gnome-2-like graphical mode :

System Settings > System Info -> Fallback Mode

SPICE oVirt

oVirt platform enables you to create virtual machines that perform the same functions as physical
machines. Using a standard Web browser, users can run virtual machines that behave like physical
desktops. Multiple levels of permissions allow users with different roles to manage virtual machines to
meet the requirements of the enterprise.

The SPICE protocol allows the virtual machine to connect to the host with physical PC-like graphics

performance. It supplies video at more than 30 frames per second, bi-directional audio (for soft-

phones/IP phones), bi-directional video (for video telephony/video conferencing) and USB redirection

from the client’s USB port into the virtual machine. SPICE also supports connection to multiple

monitors with a single virtual machine.

How to Get Up and Running with oVirt

Eclipse SUBVERSION MKACTIVITY Commit FAILED

So, I've been trying to get Ecplise to work with the SVN trunk, but I keep on getting errors : 

Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/!svn/act/211517ad-3601-0010-bf2a-d36de0e8e97a': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://jtelmon.googlecode.com)
svn: MKACTIVITY request failed on '/svn/!svn/act/211517ad-3601-0010-bf2a-d36de0e8e97a'

I figured out what the problem was. It turned out that I was not 
grabbing the svn from https, just the http. Either I missed the "s" 
key when typing it in or what, I don't know. But, it is all fixed now. 




I had on the label HTTPS but on the URL there was only HTTP :

Java Sources at Google Code :
http://code.google.com/p/cellobject/source/browse/

-----------------------------------
How To Install:

Inside the downloaded .zip/.tar file there's a .jar file named net.cellobject.sqlitexmlbrowser_1.2.0.jar. 
Just copy this jar file into the "plugins" folder of your eclipse installation directory, then restart your eclipse.
That's it.

I needed to create an SQLite database for an Android application I was working on. I wanted to browse the database of my application from within Eclipse, instead of pulling it out and browsing with another application.

If you just want to do a little bit of debugging, see if your tables get created the way you want and similar things, there is a very nice plugin for Eclipse that might fit you:

• Download  the CellObject SQLite & XML Browser plugin.
• Unzip it
• Put the .jar file you just extracted inside your eclipse plugin folder (/plugins)
• restart Eclipse.
• Start your emulator or plugin in the device on which you installed the application you want to test
• Open the DDMS perspective in Eclipse (Window —> open perspective —> other —>DDMS)
• Select your application database (you find it under data/data/[yourapplicationpackage]/databases)
• Now click on the icon of CellObject browser on the upper right, it will open the CellObject SQLite Browser View.

Instead of Opening DDMS, we can open the CellObject SQLite & XML browser in our Java perspective itself by opening it from Windows--> Show View --> Other --> Other --> CellObject SQLite Browser...
