Comment on Install ANDROID Development Tools (ADT) on Ubuntu 10.04 (and Eclipse) by littleiffel

I heard there might be problems with eclipse installed from ubuntu repositories. To get it running with ADT, just download Eclipse from their homepage, unzip, and start the eclipse from folder with double click. (Folder Eclipse > eclipse ). Maybe you need to set the permissions on the file to make it executable.

Hope this helps…Let me know

Hello. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04, and canNOT install the ADT plugin. By default, “sudo apt-get install eclipse” gives me the Galileo version. Fine, until trying to install the ADT. The Developer Tools box can be checked, but I get the following when I click Next:
===========================================
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Android DDMS 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762 (com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.feature.group 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762)
Software currently installed: Eclipse Platform 3.5.2 (Eclipse Platform 3.5.2)
Only one of the following can be installed at once:
Eclipse UI 3.5.2.M20100120-0800 (org.eclipse.ui 3.5.2.M20100120-0800)
Eclipse UI 3.7.0.v20110928-1505 (org.eclipse.ui 3.7.0.v20110928-1505)

Cannot satisfy dependency:

To: org.eclipse.ui [3.5.2.M20100120-0800]
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Android DDMS 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762 (com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.feature.group 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762)
To: org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2
==============================================

So, what exactly does this mean? I read somewhere that I have to use Indigo, but this has worked before on a previous install of 10.04. Am I missing something?

Ubuntu 12.04 that is coming out in a few days is said to deal with the bad battery performance in the previous Ubuntu releases. Would be great with a new blog post with a review how well they done about that =)

I thinking about buying a X220 so I would appreciate a battery performance review very much

Looks like in 3.4 kernel there will be some more options for i915_enable_rc6:
From: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=83b7f9ac9126f0532ca34c14e4f0582c565c6b0d

“Enable power-saving render C-state 6. ”
“Different stages can be selected via bitmask values ”
“(0 = disable; 1 = enable rc6; 2 = enable deep rc6; 4 = enable deepest rc6). ”
“For example, 3 would enable rc6 and deep rc6, and 7 would enable everything. ”
“default: -1 (use per-chip default)”);

Reading the check-in comment, we should probably avoid 7 and only set to 3.

it is the difference between hibernate and suspend. Hibernate wrights a save state file, and then shuts down. My friend has a notepad that does the same. even tho u tell it to hibernate, it only suspends.
If in hibernate u can power back up after years if u chose.

Hi,

The problem is on line 65: split = site.rpartition(“xmlURL”)[2]
There is no “xmlURL” in the string site, the only thing I could find was a “coverflowXmlUrl”, but it doesn’t seem to be what you are looking for.

I looked at arte7recorder’s code, there is some kind of a hack to find the real url (in the Catalog.py file, lines 76 to 98).
I used the result and put it in your script by adding this: linkxml = “/fr/do_delegate/videos/index-3188698,view,asThumbnail.html,?hash=fr/thumb///1/200/”
Also, I changed the pre variable to: pre = “http://videos.arte.tv”

After doing that, I got your script to launch, but no videos

That’s because the structure of xmldoc (that you get with xmldoc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(urllib.urlopen(pre+linkxml))) must have changed.
Instead of having tags, they use , in these you can find:

Perdu en mer de Tasmanie

So that’s how you’ll get the url, hope that helps and I can’t wait for a new version
