Netbeans will not start? Perhaps it does!

Unable to start Netbeans in Ubuntu, reinstalling it doesn’t help, installing a different version doesn’t help, tried to install from Software Centre, install from terminal apt-get command, install using the offline .sh installer, install different bundle… no luck.

From System Monitor Processes tab, it appears that the Netbeans is running, and the task appear at launcher, but I just can’t find the program on any workspace. Until I found the little 3px line on one of my workspace, on one of the display.

The program window was just too small to be found. No minimum window size? Who know?
Move the cursor onto it, click & drag to resize it, and now I’ve got my Netbeans back.

It may happens to any other software that doesn’t have a minimum windows size, or on other operating system. If you have a same problem, don’t reformat your pc 🙂

60 minutes spontaneous reboot

Issue:
PC reboot itself automatically every hour (60 minutes).

Software?
The option to automatically restart on system failure has been turned off.
There is no scheduled task or cron job running hourly, no any sign indicates a virus or malware infection.
It happens even in newly installed OS, regardless of what operating system is running, Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/10) or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RedHat/Fedora/SuSE).

Hardware?
Motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive, power supply, cables, fans, keyboard, mouse, screws… Everything seems to work properly except it just black off every time when it is the plot twist of your favorite TV series, how cruel…
No faulty hardware, no overheating, no power failure. No, the reset button is fine, don’t bother it.

Solution:
Some say it was a bad capacitor on motherboard causing the issue, some say it was the battery. I get rid of my PC hourly restart problem by simply update the system BIOS. If you are about to despair, try it 🙂
