Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed
Print This Post
With XCB and java graphical applications on recent distributions one gets:
java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed.
This is very well documented (just google a bit). So this serves mostly as a mental note for the way to fix it.
$ sed -i ’s/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g’ /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.04/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
or the libawt.so of your JRE. Remember that many programs may come with they’re own JRE and not use the one provided by the system.

A week ago I stared on my new work. I was at IPN and now I’m on the corporate world working at WIT-Software developing software for mobile systems as well as backend code for Mobile operators.
It was been a wounder full week, with lots of work and new stuff to learn.
As an added bonus last Week I received my last grade and now have my CS degree 
Aquarium

Since I was a child I’ve always been interested in Aquariums, so this Christmas my fiancée offered me a 60 liter world. I’ve started it and this week I added some (21) fish. I’m very happy for finally having the chance to play with this. I’ll keep adding pictures here as time goes by.
Again I must say THANK YOU Raquel. One day at a time you keep my world turning.
Master in Open Source Software?

There are some rumors that the Portuguese ISCTE is going to start a 2 years master program in OSS software. I must say that I find this a very dumb idea.
Software Engineering is an area in Computer Science, the same way Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Database, Operating Systems etc etc. OSS is a distribution model in CS.
