Setup oracle java 7 on Ubuntu 14.04

I wanted to try oracle jdk vs openjdk performance for the DartEditor

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I chose

    jdk-7u71-linux-x64.tar.gz
that I extracted to

    /opt/apps/jdk1.7.0_71



Then comes the configuration:




# One time setup

# local var
$ LOCAL_JAVA_TOP=/opt/apps/jdk1.7.0_71

# setup
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java $LOCAL_JAVA_TOP/bin/java 110
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac $LOCAL_JAVA_TOP/bin/javac 110



Then to change configuration:






# To change configuration between openjdk / oracle
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac




At first, Oracle looks slightly slower in a simple test where I started exited the editor with a complex project. However the overall experience looks slightly faster...to be completed after some days of usage...

Soving AccessDenied on Google Cloud Storage domain mapping





















As I was facing this again trying to create amp pages for my main site www.tekartik.com , here is a concrete example for my changes   Adding the proper DNS redirection in my domain provider (OVH in my case)   www.tekartik.com. CNAME c.storage.googleapis.com.  This was first giving the error:   <Error>   <Code>AccessDenied</Code>   <Message>Access denied.</Message>   <Details>Anonymous callers do not have storage.objects.list access to bucket www.tekartik.com.</Details> </Error>  the solution was to configure my bucket as a website configuration :   gsutil web set -m index.html -e 404.html gs://www.tekartik.com  And to make all files I add public by default and not worry about ACL anymore, I can use   gsutil defacl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://www.tekartik.com  To make previous imported files public, I can use   gsutil -m acl -r set public-read gs://www.tekartik.com

Fixing "DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too big" in Android Studio





















This happened to me in Android Studio after AndroidX migration and using the new testing framework. Even deleting the existing ~/.android/debug.keystore was failing for me   The solution was regenerate it manually (accept all questions as empty and say yes at the last one)   $ keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000   And copy it   $ rm ~/.android/debug.keystore $ cp debug.keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

Simple Samba setup on Lubuntu





















I have a simple lubuntu server where I setup a ssh server. While it is sufficient to access a driver/folder from another linux machine using sftp, it is a pain from Windows & Mac, so unfortunately, samba is still needed here.   For simplicity I needed only one samba user that I could map to a single user on my lubuntu machine   Following the various tutorial I ended up doing this with simple commands   Install samba  $ sudo apt-get install samba  Add myuser to the samba  $ sudo smbpasswd -a myuser  Export the drive I needed (no guest user)  $ sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf  to add the following export (no real option needed here)  [files] path = /media/music/files writeable = yes  save and Restart samba  $ sudo service smbd restart
