Fix Eclipse menu bar problem in Ubuntu 13.10

After installing latest eclipse in Ubuntu 13.10 most probably you might experience a problem with the eclipse global menu bar.
Menu doesn't show it's contents. Editing eclipse.desktop file will fix this. But it won't give the global menu.


Go to the /usr/share/applications directory which contains the eclipse.desktop


sudo cd /user/share/applicatoins
sudo gedit eclipse.desktop

It would contain something like this.
################################## [Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
Type=Application
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false

Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /opt/eclipse/eclipse

Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Comment=Integrated Development Environment
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Development;IDE
Name[en]=eclipse.desktop
##################################

This row will do the trick. If your eclipse.desktop doesn't contain it add it and save.
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /opt/eclipse/eclipse

/opt/eclipse/eclipse should be replaced with what ever your Exec(Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse in my eclipse.desktop ) is equal to.

Then you are done :)

Installing graphics drivers Ubuntu 13.10(Hybrid Graphics).

If you have hybrid graphics then you don’t have to  turn off the discrete graphic card manually  any more. Ubuntu 13.10 supports hybrid graphics.

AMD Hybrid Graphics : 

I've tested this and it works fine. According to the Ubuntu wiki page there aren't any known issues yet. 
To get proper AMD Hybrid graphics support in Ubuntu 13.10 all you have to do is install the latest fglrx driver and fglrx-pxpress from the repositories.

sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress

with AMD graphics you can switch between the two graphic cards by AMD catalyst control center like you do in Windows. But it requires a system reboot for changes to take effect. Other than that everything is fine. No ever heating.
Here more about this.(if you have a NVIDIA system ).
