art, life and software development

I've recently had the annoying bug on my Plasma desktop of my mouse cursor disappearing after a couple of seconds. The only way to see the mouse was to constantly move it. Annoying. Fortunately after a day or so of Googling I found the answer. It seems to be caused by an Ubuntu app, unclutter responsible for hiding the mouse. All you need to do is uninstall it

sudo apt-get remove unclutter

Restart and you will find that your mouse remains visible.
Worked for me, I hope it works for you.

This error "Android Compatibility JAR not found:" popped up at me this morning.  I had

1. Right clicked on my project
2. selected "Android tools"
3. and added the  "Add compatability library"
4. Mega output but at the end I got this [2011-12-08 12:07:27 - Android Compatibility JAR not found:] /home/ayo/v4/android-support-v4.jar

After a couple of hours fiddling about it sans success, it seemed the only way to save my self any further hear pulling was to manually add it to the project.

So I,

• Right clicked on the project
• selected the Java Build Path
• chose the Libraries tab
• selected the "Add External JARs.."
• and navigated to the folder wherer the errant JAR was hiding
• /home/ayo/ToolsNUtils/DROID/android-sdk-linux_x86/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar

After this all was well.
