I've been developing Android apps using Eclipse on Ubuntu.  Things have been going great until a recent update from Ubuntu caused Eclipse to start locking up on me when using the Content Assist feature.  I ended up disabling that feature altogether.  Ugh.

So I finally figured it out.  I had two versions of XULRunner installed: xulrunner-1.9.1 and xulrunner-1.9.2.  I removed xulrunner-1.9.1 and now all is well.

If you have a similar problem be sure that Eclipse isn't trying to use conflicting versions or trying to use multiple versions of XULRunner simultaneously.  I don't know the "real" problem, but I do know that this fixed it.

Hoorah.

If you get the error "Error claiming USB interface: Device or resource busy" when flashing your Nokia N810 via USB, this might help:

sudo modprobe -r cdc_phonet

General information and directions to help flash your N810 can be found here:

[updated 2010-03-24]:
In Ubuntu 9.10 it seems to still fail even after removing cdc_phonet, so you have to remove phonet too.

sudo rmmod phonet
sudo rmmod cdc_phonet
