Java 6 Update 10 Installation Quirk

Posted on by

Today I downloaded java 6 update 10. The download went smooth, but the installation did not.

Internal Error 2229. Control, SELECT `Control`,`Type`,`X`,`Y`,`Width`,`Height`,`Attributes`,`Property`,`Text`,`Control_Next`,`Help` FROM `Control` WHERE `Dialog_`=?

I found that my previous installation of java 6 update 10 rc was the cause. After uninstalling it, installation went smooth.

I wrote here to helps others experiencing the same thing. Perhaps it would be beneficial for all of us, if it was added on the installation instruction or at least the release notes.

Update to Liqube Night style

Posted on by

I’ve updated Liqube Night style I got from userstyle.org. The update fixed problems with mostly input elements background. File chooser hasn’t been fixed yet. Since userstyle.org is currently down, I posted it here.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://), url-prefix(https://) {

* {
    background-color: #101010 !important;
    background-image: none !important;
    color: #bbbbbb !important;
}
a:link {
    color: #666486 !important;
}
a:visited {
    color: #5e5c8c !important;
}
a:hover,
a:active {
    color: #cb5c8c !important;
}

input[type=button],
input[type=submit],
input[type=reset] {
    background-color: #505050 !important;
    color: white !important;
    -moz-appearance: none !important;
    border-color: #202020 !important;
}

      -moz-appearance: none !important;
    color: white !important;
    border-color: #202020 !important;
    border: 1px solid #505050 !important;
}

}

userstyles.org is down

Posted on by

Today I opened http://userstyles.org and it shows GoDaddy parking page. Does anyone experience the same?

For those who don’t know, UserStyles.org provides styles for Stylish, a well known firefox add on. Full description can be read on the add on’s page.

Update 1

I use Google Cache and got this message:

This site has changed hosts. This is the old host. We’re having problems with our DNS and hope to get it resolved soon. Until then, you can use the old host all you like, just don’t bother posting comments or styles, because they won’t make it to the new host. You’ll know you’re on the new host when you no longer see this ugly message :)

Update 2

You can workaround this problem (thanks to ChoGGi) by editing C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and append this line:

74.63.3.217 userstyles.org
