Issue: There was an issue with gedit whenever I opened it: “** (gedit:9280): WARNING **: Could not load Gedit repository: Typelib file for namespace 'GtkSource', version '3.0' not found”

Solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/369915/warnings-while-launching-gedit-from-the-ubuntu-terminal

Updating gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 solved the problem for me; the errors no longer appear.

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0

Issue: gedit Gtk-WARNING GtkScrolledWindow is mapped but visible child GtkScrollbar is not mapped”

Solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/435528/gedit-warning-gtkscrolledwindow-is-mapped-but-visible-child-gtkscrollbar-is-not

It was a bug in overlay-scrollbar which has been fixed here at launchpad. It has been fixed.

So just run

How do I mount shared folders (win7 host) in Ubuntu (guest) using VMware(tools v6) - Ask Ubuntu

How do I mount shared folders (win7 host) in Ubuntu (guest) using VMware(tools v6) - Ask Ubuntu

I have set up on Windows 7 host with Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop with VMware Tools installed on.

Virtual Machine settings

• Folder sharing = Always Enabled
• Make sure you have at least one Folder shared between the host and guest

On the Ubuntu Guest

• check /mnt/hgfs that you can access your shared folder.
  If you don't see your shared folders (automounted) inside /mnt/hgfs , run VMware configuration tools:
  sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
• update your fstab using the details below:
  gksu gedit /etc/fstab
  (I am using ubuntu desktop so use other text editor to enter the next line at the end of the file)
  .host:/{shared-folder} /{path-to-mount-on} vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
• Restart your vm (You may need to restart few times or get error message saying unable to mount just skip the error and restart)

Running Your App | Android Developers: "Run on the Emulator
Whether you're using Eclipse or the command line, to run your app on the emulator you need to first create an Android Virtual Device (AVD). An AVD is a device configuration for the Android emulator that allows you to model different devices."

Why does Eclipse's "Check for updates" not work - Ask Ubuntu

Why does Eclipse's "Check for updates" not work - Ask Ubuntu: "I often the permissions on /opt to 1777 to allow anyone to create packages there. Alternatively I use chgrp users /opt and set the permissions to 1775. This allows members of the uses group to add new packages to /opt."



I set the permissions on /home/kasimcee/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk and /home/kasimcee/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/eclipse to 1777 by typing:

chmod 1777 /home/kasimcee/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/eclipse [enter]



Then, I ran Eclipse and it gave me an adb error.  I closed it and restarted Eclipse again and it worked!

Android Development on Eclipse

1. First tried Android Studio on Win 7
2. DUMB FACT #1: The Android Developer Network has Samples available for Android Studio ONLY, however then you go to their Training and its based on using Eclipse instead?
3. So, I decided to go with Eclipse instead of Android Studio since its more versatile for programming outside of Android as well.
4. I wanted to install on a Linux platform so I can also learn Linux in spare time and knockout 2 birds with one stone, since its the platform of choice for hacking, security assessments, etc. 
5. Outcome: Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop with Eclipse IDE with ADT.

Installation

1. Install Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop on a virtual machine
1. I want to install it on a USB stick because then I can maximize the hardware support rather than using partial hardware via a virtual machine running via Windows.
2. Then, I went to About This Computer and checked for updates and I installed all the updates.

About This Computer displays updates

1. Then, I went to this link to XXXX to setup IDE environment.  They LIED and said all you need to do is install the bundle and you're ready to go.  They forgot to add JDK to their setup so if you don't have JDK installed, you have to install that first.
2. The next thing I learned is that if you have 1 JDK installed, then you may experience problems trying to install another JDK over it.  I installed OpenJDK 7 and then tried to install Oracle JDK 7 and kept experiencing errors.  In the end, I went with OpenJDK 7 because it was already installed, however I will come back to this article XXXX to determine what is the difference between them from performance, security, etc.
3. I installed OpenJDK 7
4. Ran the Android SDK Manager and choose all of 4.4 and some other stuff, I will come back to this later.
5. Added a ~.bash_aliases to store my custom PATH additions.
6. Ran AVD
7. Ran Eclipse and ran Install Updates and it errors about lacking privileges.
8. Looked up this article
9. changing permissions on the directories with Eclipse and Android SDK

1. Ran Eclipse and it gave me an adb error
2. Restarted Eclipse and it came up fine!
