Install ADB fedora 20

I just downloaded and unzipped the adt-bundle-linux for my 64-bit system.

Just upon launching the eclipse I stumbled upon an error like, adb : no such file or directory (/path/to/adt-bundle/sdk/adb) though the adb was actually there.

 

I had to install a few packages to this working.

$ sudo yum install glibc zlib libstdc++ ncurses-libs mesa-libGL-devel adb

 

Note: this is for 64-bit fedora

 

That’s it, just relaunched the eclipse to start on my way !!!

Sync firefox open tabs

I just had to start using a new laptop given by my office. I had at least 30 tabs open in my old laptop. I just needed those open tabs in my new laptop too (opened).

Using sync did not solve my problem. Sync just helped me to sync my history, bookmarks but did get my “open” tabs be “open” in my new firefox.

 

Copying the sessionstore.js from my firefox folder to the new one fixed the problem.

 

Example:

I just scp’ed the sessionstore.js from my old laptop to the new one.

$ scp ~/.mozilla/firefox/mye4weo0.default/sessionstore.js hostname:/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/mye4wad0.default/sessionstore.js

 

I got all my open tabs opened my new firefox 🙂

Fix screen resolution issue zBook (Fedora 20)

I am using HPZBook workstation. Happily installed Fedora 20 in it. I restarted the system only to see a screen resolution problem. Basically my screen resolution was not detected by the nouveau. Have to install NVIDIA drivers.

Upon restart I saw something similar to,

So I used the "liveusb" to get in to my terminal and update the driver.
