After upgrading my desktop to Karmic Koala I started having some problem with my Notes 8.5.1 installation with window not displaying contents.
Doing a brief Google search I found this thread about a change made in libgtk that breaks Lotus Notes.
The solution is in comment #13: just follow the simple instructions and Lotus Notes will be working again.
Update – Nov, 4th 2009
As pointed out by jklocke, a fresh Lotus Notes installation on Ubuntu 9.10 doesn’t work: Notes won’t start at all.
The solution he found is very simple and quick: Notes cannot find the packages libgnomeprint2.2-0 and libgnomeprintui2.2-0.
To resolve the problem run this command to install missing libraries:
sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-0
Update – Mar, 30th 2010
Some commenters reported that they couldn’t see checkboxes status in preferences.
The solution found by ElToro and confirmed by Perin is to switch the theme to New Wave.

Some weeks ago I received a customer request to add a character counter to a textarea field and I made it using “classic” Javascript. Now that I’m learning jQuery and have some spare time, I tryed to transform my custom function to a jQuery plugin.
This is my first attempt to build a jQuery plugin and maybe there’s already another plugin that does the same thing but it have been a really nice exercise.
Check out the plugin code and some more details after the break.

I’ve just installed Lotus Notes 8.5 on Ubuntu and the first thing I noticed was the horrible fonts used in the interface. I’ve searched for a setting, but couldn’t find none so Goggle helped me: Notes is looking for a font called Luxi contained in the package ttf-xfree86-nonfree.
Installation is very simple:
sudo apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree
Insert your password and you are done.

I don’t know when this feature was added to Google Chrome, but now if you right click on a tab you can pin it: the title of the page and the close button will disappear leaving only the favicon.
In this way you can keep always open your most visited sites, like Twitter, Facebook or Gmail.
