soapui 3.0.1 in linux

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:52:40 +0000

When using soapui 3.0.1 on my linux-box I ran into the following error:

The program 'TuxPack GTK+' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

  (Details: serial 1338 error_code 8 request_code 42 minor_code 0)

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful

   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

The fix is to add the following option to bin/soapui.sh:

JAVA_OPTS=".... -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true"

No sound in Ubuntu 9.04

If you get the following error:

ubuntu alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

Then add the line

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot.

Thanks to this guy.

Search multiple directories, match multiple patterns, and copy to directory:

~/$ find src/ include/ -type f \( -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.S" \) -exec cp {} build/ \;

Linux rename command

To rename a bunch of files in a folder use the rename command. This example shows how to add a suffix for all files matching the ‘x*’ pattern:

user@user-laptop:~/data$ ls

x    x-10  x-12  x-14  x-16  x-18  x-2   x-21  x-23  x-25  x-27  x-29  x-30  x-32  x-34  x-5  x-7  x-9

x-1  x-11  x-13  x-15  x-17  x-19  x-20  x-22  x-24  x-26  x-28  x-3   x-31  x-33  x-4   x-6  x-8

user@user-laptop:~/data$ rename 's/(x.*)/$1.dat/g' *

user@user-laptop:~/data$ ls

x-10.dat  x-13.dat  x-16.dat  x-19.dat  x-21.dat  x-24.dat  x-27.dat  x-2.dat   x-32.dat  x-3.dat  x-6.dat  x-9.dat

x-11.dat  x-14.dat  x-17.dat  x-1.dat   x-22.dat  x-25.dat  x-28.dat  x-30.dat  x-33.dat  x-4.dat  x-7.dat  x.dat

x-12.dat  x-15.dat  x-18.dat  x-20.dat  x-23.dat  x-26.dat  x-29.dat  x-31.dat  x-34.dat  x-5.dat  x-8.dat

Minimizing the output from systemsim

admin — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:24:52 +0000

The cell-simulator (systemsim) has some very verbose output turned on by default:

.....

To disable it, use the following command:

systemsim %  mysim modify kips_format 0

KIPS format is 0

systemsim %

Alternatively, the command can be placed in a .tcl-script read by the simulator with the -f <.tcl script> flag.
