Location of visualvm.conf in ubuntu for Java VisualVM

Sun Java 6 VisualVM
Sun Java 6 Monitoring & Management (VisualVM)
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.34/bin/jvisualvm

In doc we have <visualvm_installdir>\etc\visualvm.conf

so for linux/ubuntu it is:
$JAVA_HOME/lib/visualvm/etc/visualvm.conf

Example:
usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.34/lib/visualvm/etc/visualvm.conf


to avoid OutOfMemory on heap dump ivestigation you can change in visualvl.conf
for default values "-J-Xmx256m" to "-J-Xmx4G"

Mongo: get all results to file instead of page iteration


http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Scripting+the+shell
paragraph "Differences between scripted and interactive / Printing".

connect to host:
./mongo server.com/mydb
> db.users.find()


to do the same from shell:

./mongo server.com/mydb --quiet --eval "db.users.find().forEach(printjson);" > 1.txt

Attention: for prefix ".forEach(printjson);" without it you will get error like
DBQuery: mydb.users-> undefined

Browser HL-4570CDW for Ubuntu 12.04

Drivers are not in ubuntu set of driver, need to be installed manually:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#HL-4570CDW%20/%20HL-4570CDWT

installed both packages by means of Ubuntu Center. Center show WARNING of package structure but still allow you to install. I continued installation - works fine.

After drivers are installed, driver could be seen(automatically picked up) from install printed wizard. Install driver before launching "Printing" application.

Issues:
After "Print Test Page" is done - need to go to printer and press button "GO" on printer.
Printing from other application does not need this.

Thunderbird: Open link with different browser

I am just searching for convenient way to open links from Thunderbird in different Web browsers.

For FireFox there are good plugin Open With. I wish to have such addon in Thunderbird. I asked author   ... but no answer.

I in one year I searched the same problem and found a lot of requests/question for the same problem - :).

One of workaround that I use now - http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/461076-how-do-i-get-thunderbird-open-links-google-chrome.html

Copy paste from this forum:

* Navigate to "Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced" in the Thunderbird menus and click on the "Config Editor" button.
    * Search for the following three entries:
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp
    * Set the value of each of these three entries to true (you can do this by double-clicking on each entry, then close the "about:config" window and click "OK" on the "Thunderbird Preferences" window).
