JungleDisk “background service error” under unbuntu 11.10 unity

Jan 04

After install, under unity, you have no access to the Activity monitor, nor the configuration interface… If you try to launch Jungledisk with a jungle disk icon or via the console, you’ll get a popup with a “background service error” (actually, jungledisk is already running).

Ace on tech, give the solution in this post.

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
dconf-editor (no sudo)
in dconf-editor : / > desktop > unity > panel
Append “junglediskworgroup” (or “junglediskdesktop”) to the systray-whitelist enumeration (after this, mine is : ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier', 'junglediskworkgroup']. You can also type “['all']
Logout / login

BTW, a very good post to tweak your ubuntu with unity : http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/04/tweak-unity-to-better-suit-your-needs.html

just a little piece of code to test php preg_match(). I used it to test regexp on urls with Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page

$regexp='\?page';//just a regexp (without delimiter)
checkPreg($regexp);
checkPreg($regexp,$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

function checkPreg($preg,$url='http://domain.com/index.php?page=shop/cart2'){
    $res=preg_match(sprintf('|%s|',$preg),$url);
    echo $preg ." match with $url ? ";
    if(false===$res){
        echo 'ERROR';
    } elseif(0 === $res) {
        echo 'NON';
    } else {
        echo 'YES. Num = '.$res;
    }
    echo "<br />\n";
}
