Openfire Increasing Java Memory Limits Debian/Ubuntu

Icon Written by tig on January 4, 2010 – 5:48 pm

Openfire ships with a 64Meg  JVM limit which is fine for testing purposes but you may find that you are using it all up.    I went round the forums a few times and found conflicting advice.
Anyhoo the instructions were close but seemed to give one massive red-herring which was they kept talking about OPENFIRE_OPTS in [...]



OpenFire XMPP Server on Debian

Icon Written by tig on July 6, 2009 – 2:54 pm

I was asked today to set up an IM server for internal use,   originally they were specifying Windows messanger but I was able to suggest we try a proper standards based system instead
So I need a server,  a few clicks in the Proxmox interface ( a rather nice way of handling OpenVZ virtualisation) [...]

Ubuntu on the Eeee battery life

Icon Written by tig on November 12, 2008 – 1:17 pm

Well the battery monitor app either needs housetraining or something as it bounces up and down more than I do
10 mins ago it told me I had 6 mins remaining and now it has crept back up again
Currently :
tigger@eee:~$ uptime

Silly Ibex wont start X

Icon Written by tig on November 9, 2008 – 11:27 am

Meh my Eeee had just decided that it did not want to start X due to an internal error. A most odd occurrence and after a bit of digging I found the culprit, a read only file system.

identi.ca – google talk / pidgin problems fixed

Icon Written by tig on September 18, 2008 – 2:48 pm

Just a quicky,  to get identi.ca working with pidgin:
1.  Enter your gmail address in identi.ca
2.  In pidgin add update@identi.ca as a buddy
3.  You will get an authorise request (or 4 ) just authorise the first one and give it a sane name like Identi.ca
4. Try sending it an IM,  this will probably fail [...]
