I just upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 10.10 – the perfect-10 Ubuntu. It’s amazing as usual: the new ubuntu font is so adorable; the volume control panel with rhythmbox integrated is sweet; new wave looks much better….

Also, I finally installed the QQ 1.1 beta on my ubuntu, turns out, the beta version is still so buggy, the #1 bug is it will auto-shutdown after you sent the fifth message (I have no idea why it’s 5, maybe something to do with the array size?)

and with the failure:

maxim@maximmai:~$ qq
(qq:14642): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtktextview.c:4609: somehow some text lines were modified or scrolling occurred since the last validation of lines on the screen - may be a text widget bug.
**
Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtktextview.c:4610:gtk_text_view_paint: code should not be reached
Aborted

so I googled it a bit, and from the results, it looks like the beta version of QQ is not compatible with GTK yet, so we need to use the native window instead.

just add the follow line to /usr/bin/qq

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

and this will resolve the auto-shutdown problem.
so, /usr/bin/qq looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
cd /usr/share/tencent/qq/
./qq

alright, enjoy ubuntu 10.10! http://www.ubuntu.com
