Though this fix was tested on an MSI X320 running Ubuntu 14.04, it should work fine on most other Poulsbo based devices. Please let me know your device make, model, if it did / did not work for you.

Eclipse is one of the most widely used free and open-source IDEs out there in the professional Software Development industry.
