ubuntu 12.04 freeze

so I was getting random freezes on ubuntu where mouse keyboard or anything wont work.  The probability of freeze increases if I start youtube.  Ultimately my colleague recommended upgrading linux kernel following

http://www.unixmen.com/linux-kernel-3-12-2-available-download-installation-instructions-ubuntu-linux-mint/


5 days after the kernel upgrade and no more crash even if youtube is running in background for almost 3-4 hours.

The only thing I had to for was reinstall virtualbox. Now yesterday I had to install guest additions and unfortunately the ubuntu package tried installing virtualbox-guest-additions-iso with old kernel compatibility and it didnt worked.  Anyways for now its not itching me that much and I will scratch it if it become unbearable, due to this I am unable to copy paste between ubuntu host and guest even though I had enabled bidirectional clipboard sharing.

    Why not use ubuntu 13.10? Everything works smoothly there.

      because 12.04 is a LTS release and 13.10 is fresh out of the oven and only supported for 9 months. As an enterprise company people want to use stable releases to avoid suprises.

    Well April's going to dish out 14.04 which is LTS again so 9 months isn't a worry. Well I went with it and hated unity and hence running on gnome 3.10 and I must say 13.10 with all the apps paired with gnome 3.10 rocks. I wonder how 14.04 with mir would be.

      haha I hated unity also but now I somehow got used to it because even though I logged in to ubuntu classic lots of simple things skype/pidgin systray were not working properly, instead of trying to spend time figuring it out in busy schedule, I just started using unity.

Jersey streaming binary data

In the previous post I showed how you can post binary data to a jersey REST api. You can also use Jersey to serve files, although its better done by apache or nginx but sometimes you might want to serve thumbnails stored in a database out of a service and put varnish in front of the REST api to cache the thumbnails. This is just a demonstration of using jersey to serve binary data in streaming fashion. @Path("/download-service") public class DownaloadService extends SecureRestService { private static final AppLogger logger = AppLogger.getLogger(DownaloadService.class); @POST @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM) public StreamingOutput getThumbnail( @FormParam("securityKey") final String securityKey, @FormParam("guid") final String guid) throws JSONException { return new StreamingOutput() { @Override public void write(OutputStream out) throws IOException { try { if (!isAuthorized(securityKey)) { response.sendErro...

Spring 3.2 quartz 2.1 Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.

I am trying to enable HA on nodes and in that process I found that in a two test node setup a job that has a frequency of 10 sec was running into deadlock. So I tried upgrading from Quartz 1.8 to 2.1 by following the migration guide but I ran into an exception that says "Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.". After looking into spring and Quartz code I figured out that now Quartz is more strict and earlier the scheduler.addJob had a replace parameter which if passed to true would skip the durable check, in latest quartz this is fixed but spring hasnt caught up to this. So what do you do, well I jsut inherited the factory and set durability to true and use that public class DurableJobDetailFactoryBean extends JobDetailFactoryBean {     public DurableJobDetailFactoryBean() {         setDurability(true);     } } and used this instead of JobDetailFactoryBean in the spring bean definition     <bean i...
