Eclipse: 32-bit GWT (GTK) configuration on x86_64 arch to avoid "Failed to load module"/"wrong ELF class"

If you get "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" messages on the console when you launch a Run/Debug Configuration of your GWT Web Application, you should set the value of the environemtal variable GTK_PATH to /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0:





...whereby ${GTK_32_PATH} should have the value /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0. Eventuall you have to install the ia32-libs-gtk package to make /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0 available.


You haven't to use the x32 JDK/JRE as your default Java VM for the whole x64 system but install ia32-sun-java6-bin package and set this VM as your default JRE only in Eclipse (for the projects) but not for Eclipse itself:

Apple's evaluating a new JVM

To boost the Java performance on x64 Mac systems, Apple is evaluating a new Java VM  that is derived the BSD port. You can try the new JVM using the  -XXaltjvm=bsdserver VM args which is available in the recent JDK/JRE developer preview. Using this new VM may improve the Java performance and increase benchmark scores but performance drawbacks can be expected as well.

Tuning ext4 for performance with emphasis on SSD usage

The obligatory disclaimer: The more performance you gain, the more data integrity you loose! But if you want to tune something like a file system, I strongly assume that you know what you are doing :) These tips apply to all major Linux distributions like Fedora/Red Hat, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu that are already using ext4 or are going to make ext4 their default file system. As write operations on Solid State Disks (SSD) are expensive the tips below are focused on SSD usage but also apply to HDD usage as well . My Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab after a fresh installation: [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 relatime 0 2 [...] My tuned Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab : [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 noatime,barrier=0,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 2
