Hi Nerds

Today i solved a tricky Linux challenge.

I work with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and love Aptana Studio for programming Websites and some stupid Code.

Installing Aptana is not difficult! Just download the right file (i use a 64bit linux maschine), unpack the file and start Aptana with “AptanaStudio”. I had no problems with launching the software, but after loading my mouse-clicks go insane … sometimes only the “enter-key” solved my choice. Some clicks were not recognized by Aptana … really bad!

After some Google-Searching i found the official bugtracker for this problem … so i need a small shell-starter-script to solve the “crazy-mouse” problem!

But – what is a shell script? My Linux experience is just 4 weeks old … help me master!

Over 2 hours reading, learning and understanding …

I generate a small starter script (start_aptana.sh):

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true; exec /path/to/AptanaStudio/AptanaStudio;

and the desktop-starter command:

/path/to/start_aptana.sh

Yippi – now the lovely Aptana Studio runs on my Ubuntu-Chicken without problems, easy coding! Yeah…
