Maven release plugin skipped version bump

How to fix the problem - just do that version bump yourself manually, second time it will work automatically

Here is history of commands of my failed 6.6.15 and 6.6.16, and how I made it work:

git tag -d 6.6.15
git tag -d 6.6.16
git push origin :/ref/tags/6.6.15
git push origin :refs/tags/6.6.16
mvn release:clean release:prepare -Darguments='-DskipTests=true'
gitk --all
git reset HEAD~1 --hard
git clean -fx
git pull
gitk --all
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=6.6.16-SNAPSHOT
git status
git clean -fx
git diff
git add .
git commit -m "manual version bump"
git push
mvn release:clean release:prepare -Darguments='-DskipTests=true'
git pull
git clean -fx

Another way to fix similar problem is to update maven-release-plugin to new version:

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>

 </plugin>

result in tag commited to remote but version bump was not happen to snapshot, see logs for details

Trailing Comment Check false positives

Original investigation of Daniil Yroslavtsev:

Check: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html#TrailingComment
It has so much problem to report valid code so I do believe that it is switched off  in all companies configurations.

Other support for that Check: Trailing Comments .

But currently Trailing Comment check warns on the following valid cases:

1.

  A. 
  } catch (Exception e) { // SUPPRESS CHECKSTYLE IllegalCatchExtendedCheck now it part of logic

  B.
  } catch (Exception e) { // NOPMD

  C.
  } catch (Exception e) { // NOSONAR

2.

double emerging = 100 - regions.sumEstimate(
  "54138", // Not Applicable/Disclosed
  "19668", // United States
  "200005", // Canada
...
);

ATTENTION: it is not false-positive, as all this magic numbers

 should be moved to constants with proper names

3.

ReportValidationResult r = validationResult.get(i);
  sb.append(
    MessageFormat.format("  report_id={0} (co_id={1}), report_start$=''{2}'', report_end$=''{3}''"
     + ", period_start_date={4}, period_end_date={5}: "
     + "total percent on ''{6}'' is {7}% .... ",
     safeToPlainString(r.reportId), // 0
     safeToPlainString(r.companyId), // 1
     formatTimestamp(r.reportStartDate), // 2
     ...
     formatTimestamp(r.periodEndDate), // 7
     ...
     )

4.

  private static final Color[] COLORS = {             
            new Color(255, 128, 128), // pink
            new Color(255, 255, 128), // yellow             
            new Color(128, 255, 128), // green             
            new Color(128, 255, 255), // cian             
            new Color(255, 128, 192), // margent                      
            new Color(255, 128, 64), // brown
            new Color(0, 128, 128), // blue/gray
            new Color(128, 128, 255), // purple
            new Color(0, 128, 0), // dark green             
            new Color(128, 128, 0), // greenish/grayish     };

5

    record[++columnIndex] = geoAreaEntry.getKey(); // _NAME
    record[++columnIndex] = "unknown"; // _REGION
    record[++columnIndex] = "0"; // _WEIGHT
    record[++columnIndex] = "1"; // _CONF

To fix false-positives we can update Trailing Commentary Sonar check to ignore: //NOSONAR, //SUPPRESS CHECKSTYLE, //NOPMD, // formatter:off, // formatter:on commentaries (with all their possible variants) and other 'valid' comments by regexp in it`s configuration.

But I think, that Checkstyle Trailing Comment check should be disabled for all projects as too many comment formats can be considered as 'valid' and result 'ignore' regexp will be too complex and unreadable.

Krusader have problem with unpacking tag.gz

It is not a first time I noticed that after unzip/unarchive/unpacksome archive some files are missed. But when you do it from terminal or ubuntu befault archive manager - all works fine.

XmlCopyEditor does not work on Ubuntu 12.04 x64

XmlCopyEditor is good for XML exiting and review but from in 12.04 x64 it doesnot work

Reason: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmlcopyeditor/+bug/901547

Fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmlcopyeditor/+bug/901547/comments/35 I used
"1.2.0.8-1+5~quantal1" release.

RDP connection from Windows to Ubuntu 12.04

manual: http://www.ubuntututorials.com/remote-desktop-ubuntu-12-04-windows-7/

That connection create only new connections to PC, no way to connect to existing session.

unfortunately did not worked for me as screen after login is empty.
Here is advise how to fix that problem, see two last comments of "arrghushakaboorga".

It works, but ! if you try to launch FireFox or Chrom from that session, Firefox will fail to launch if it existing in different session, Chrome launched in new session and disappeared (it appear in my real session at laptop).

So that behavior is not appropriate, failed to fix, fed up ... .

XChat integration with Unity

there is a way to add xchat icon in the Unity top panel, so when you hit X it minimizes there. By default it will disappear and you will not be able to activate it.

Solution:
Launch "dconf-editor" , navigate to desktop.unity.panel in tree edit "systray-whitelist" to put 'xchat' to list.

you also need integration with Unity : sudo apt-get install xchat-indicator

To have notifications: do right click on channel, menu "Extra Allerts", and select all sub menus ("Beep on message", "Blink Tray Icon", "Blink Task Bar"). You will see blinking messages at icon that you allowed in dconf-editor.

Hint: to rejoin to few channel on startup, you need to join that channel and then in left tree of channels by means of right click add them to Favorite.

Connect Nexus4 to Ubuntu 12.04 by USB

UPDATE: just follow http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/268-ubuntu-automount-any-mtp-device , at the end of article there is a script that do all that steps automatically.

Follow: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html
something similar is here too.

after installation it worked for me for few time (Ubuntu 12.04 64bit), but after that failed with error:
"nexus rdev.open failed: open: open returned nil"

to fix this follow all steps in  http://askubuntu.com/questions/87667/getting-mtp-to-work-with-a-galaxy-nexus/88630#88630 and do restart.

And now it works and could be used without terminal mount!!!!!

PS:
I also tried gMTP but it does not work to copy folders - works only for files :( .
AirDroid, looks interesting, but it only for wifi connection.

Fedora 18 for Dell Vostro 1510

1. New Installation in fedora 18 is crap.... I broke my mind when I tried to install it on required partition - far from intuitive.


2. change power button to ask what to do (source):

In order to get the Power Shutdown selection menu in Fedora 16, you must download dconf-editor with sudo yum install dconf-editor
Once this is done, open dconf editor from gnome, and navigate to ORG/Gnome/Setting Daemon/Plugins/Power and then modify the action on power button to be "Interactive".


3. Skype and google talk plugin it is necessary to install from terminal (source):
"yum localinstall skype-4.1.0.20-fedora.i586.rpm"


4. Problem with microphone...
lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

I did restart, install of
su
yum install gnome-media
changed level of microphone in "Sound" application, tab "Input" and it become alive.



5. install Cromium (source):
su
yum install wget
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/fedora-chromium-stable.repo
yum install chromium

6. Install Flash player to browsers
Follow instructions from: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

7. Open terminal from Nautilus current folder:
yum install nautilus-open-terminal
No logout is required, just close all active Nautilus windows and launch it again.

8.Add rpmfusion repository, to add more packages (lha, unrar, unace archive support and more other stuff):

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
set in all rows: "gpgcheck=0"

9. Install Archive support packages (requires rpmfusion):
sudo yum install unrar p7zip p7zip-plugins lha arj unace dpkg

10. how to set up Caps Lock as language switch.
standard way to setup this in "Keyboard" or "Language and Regions" - does not work! :(
bug, workaround work perfectly well!


11. Install mp3 and other codecs for Fedora18
Follow http://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/fedora-18-missing-video-decoder-audio-decoder-codec-installing/
it will require to download gpg keys from http://rpmfusion.org/keys?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-18 but beware that nonfree kay is empty and will not work s so you might consider to use "gpgcheck=0" (see above).
Additional step require to put key in proper place with renaming to your architecture(i386 or x86_64):
cp RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-18 /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-18-i386
cp RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-18 /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-18-i386

Problem with switching LibeOffice windows by Alt+Tab and in vertical panel

Issue is open for this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/844119
Please vote to raise importance of this bug.

Workaround suggested Matthias Niess in bug comments:

switching works fine if open SpreadSheet from Dash and then open files from Cntl+O.

as an option you can install LibreOffice4 from official site - but in this case you loose Unity integration of menu, (instructions for installation).

update:
looks like fixed in latest ubuntu updates (March 2013), I aslo updated Libreoffice to 4.0 by http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/install-libreoffice-40-in-ubuntu-1204.html

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0
sudo apt-get update

.... and do install from ubuntu Center, and now Libreoffice works fine.
