Fixing Problems

Today I have fixed two large annoyances I’ve had!

I fixed the blue people on youtube bug

I found a nice thread with a great answer. I solved it by forcefully patching libflashplayer.so

perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so

Worked perfectly!

I fixed the minecraft stuck in pause bug

This affects you if you’re using xmonad (or similar?) and java 1.7. The solution was simply to downgrade to java 1.6.

Another problem I’ve had earlier was that minecraft tries to full screen over both of my screens instead of just one. The solution is to add this to your xmonad.hs.


main = xmonad defaultConfig {
    ...
    , startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
    ...
}

Fixed my Todo Lists

Oh and I also added a lot of levels to my todo list, as suggested by this post.

I have now the levels

All so I can always have something to do pending on my different energy levels etc.
