I also installed the restricted media packages.I am using Firefox 3.6.8.What should I do to get this working? I am trying to listen to the files on my web site. [url]..... The Radio shows tab.
I currently have a full install of Ubuntu 10.4 64-Bit running under VMWare Fusion on my MacBookPro. I works fine but I am looking to streamline things a bit. All I actually need is to be able run commands from the command line.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've always been interested in Linux and it seems that the new version of Ubuntu (10.04) is pretty good. Now I want to build an Ubuntu desktop to use as my main computer. I've been running it through VMWare Fusion and I haven't had too many problems at all on my iMac (27" i5). Unfortunately, I still need my iMac since the new Steam client is coming out for OS X and I must have some of my Steam games. I guess I don't mind running it in VMWare, but I do miss the excitement of building a new computer with a nice case and fans, and throwing a fresh clean OS on it. Anyone else been in the same dilemna? I feel though I have spent enough money on computers recently. Plus, I don't have room on my desk for another widescreen monitor. I'm not sure where I would put my iMac.

I have installed the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (11.04) into latest VMware workstation (7.1.4 build-385536). I have tried to install the VMware tools ISO that came with VMware workstation but It didn't work and the installation seemed real sloppy anyways.
I installed the open VMware tools from synaptic within the guest linux and restarted, everything seemed to have been installed just fine but VMware Workstation doesn't detect it. I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.
getting any form of VMware tools to run in Linux and detected by VMware Workstation.
Is it possible to install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 VMware AMD edition (which I downloaded) on VMware linux? It is under Windows 7 so I just need to know if everything of VMware linux (like Hardware Virtualization) is the same under linux as for Windows.

I completed the installation of VMWare Server 2.0.2 onto a CentOS 5.4 64-bit distribution. There is a VMware virtual machine file on the server in question, and I want to activate it through the application console.
I did not see anything readily apparent that would facilitate the importing of the virtual machine file. Does anyone have a procedure that can accomplish this task?
I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.
I'm trying to access the VMWare console from firefox using the VMWare plugin. The problem is that it doesn't work on Firefox version 3.6.8. So how can I access the console?

I tried Linux Mint 8 for awhile and seem to remember that System/Administration/Disk Utility gave a lot more useful information than what is available in Ubuntu. It showed the partitions as being healthy or not and even gave the temperature of the hard drive and if the disk is failing. Is there any way to get this same functionality in my Ubuntu 9.10 configuration?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI finally upgraded my desktop from 9.10 to 10.04. I do not feel that this was a step forward; a lot of little things just don't work. For example, when shutting down with 9.10, it automatically shuts down in 60 seconds. With 10.04, it waits *forever* for a 2nd mouse click.
The USB drive - there used to be an option to un-mount it without removing it. That's gone now, and I'm guessing that I will find more of these as the days go on. And all the colors have been removed from the panel applets. Not really a functionality issue, but it is a negative to the user experience.
So my question is: How can I restore these features? Is there a configuration somewhere I can edit?
I've been holding out on the recent few versions of Ubuntu because of the recent changes, so I was just wondering if 10.10 will bring back some of those lost features.
1. Will we see a way to have a customisable login screen?
2. Will there be an option to move the close button as a standard setting?
my keyboard lost it functionality as it was used to be, something went wrong and im not sure what but it seems something wrote those settings to my pc's ROM or something.Since i used the ubuntu and then the layout screwed up, I dont know what else to do as it seems it affected my windows too, i tried to recover to an older version of ubuntu that i had (as in i made a system backup using acronis) with all the things working right but it seems it wont help as the settings saved itself and I dont know where to change it back. im in such a panic as this thing never happen to me before ctrl is right ctrl, right ctrl funtion as the FN key, the whole FN+Fx are wrong

Im looking for magnifying glass functionalty for ubuntu. I want to use it for web design: watching icons, borders, spaces, etc. I tried the compiz zoom, enhanced zoom and mynifying box bout all of them make things blurry and I couldn't find the way to make things "sharp".

When I mount on the server its self, it works fine. But on other computers. Such as my windows 7 machine, the connection times out. It seems to make the inital connect, then none after that. (The windows 7 machine does have the NFS files installed).

Ubuntu works pretty well on most of the desktop computer (drivers support), the basic functionality like, keyboard, sound card, network card generally works well. But when it comes to laptop computer, really need luck. Some laptop's keyboard works weird, some cannot play music. I am recently thinking of buying a new laptop. Is there any website shows you which brand of laptop recommends which version of linux? or ubuntu works better on which brand of laptop?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFrom what I understand aptitude and apt-get are both valid package management tools and it should not matter which one you use (of course the user interface is different, but the basic functionality is the same). I found something which makes me believe there are differences: I ran aptitude install gnome-themes-more and it did nothing because the package was already installed. Then I ran apt-get install gnome-themes-more just to see the difference, and it also did not install anything, but it marked the package as manually installed.
The I ran again apt-get install gnome-themes-more and this time the package was not marked as manually install (obviously because it's already marked). This makes me believe that aptitude did not mark my package as manually installed (I would have pasted the command output as well, but I don't have it anymore). So, is the core functionality of those tools the same or not?
I used until now apt-get and wonder if I should have used aptitude. I have found some wikis which recommend the usage of aptitude but I could not find out if this reccomendation is based only on the UI improvements or are there also improvements in the core functionality. I'd like some hints from more seasoned debianers about which one to use, or whether it matters. I'm maily using command line, so user interface is not an issue,
I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10. My problem is the way Workspace Switcher 2.28.0 (the default of the installation) with compiz running (I haven't tried without compiz) Old behaviour: (9.04 and 8.10) a) rolling the mouse wheel over a workspace of the workspace switcher means: move to the next or previous workspace b) click on a the representation of a window (a little square) on the the workspace switcher and then drag it to another workspace means: move window to other workspace
In 9.10 the workspace switcher does work (the number of workspace can be configured, Ctl-Alt-left & right arrow, Ctlr-Shiht-Alt-right&left arrow) but the functionality described in a and b is missing.

I've seen many posts about setting up VPN's but my doubt goes further. I just need access to the local network of my office from a Windows XP (which of course is outside the LAN). I would like this PC to have access to the whole LAN, but what I really need is it to access to an Ubuntu Server (e.g. 192.168.0.10). The router is a Netgear DG834, which has a built in VPN functionality. So, is it enough if I set it up? Do I need to install any VPN server in Ubuntu? What if I want to access to another computer in the LAN? Where should I start?

The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "rpm -e VMware-server".
Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".
I tried this command and find the this message
[Akram@localhost Downloads]$ su -c "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" Password: Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.4.2", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3" anyway? [no] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/src/linux/include]
Now it asks me in last lines that "What is the location of Directory of C header files that match your running kernal?"
I used easystroke on ubuntu, and it worked well enough to be functional. I triend opening Xstroke in suse, but it just adds an icon down by the notification panel. right click and left click seem to turn it on and off, but i've yet to find any configuration menu of any kind. I've also found the 'input actions' section of the personal settings menu, but i'm having a hard time making heads or tails of it. Basically, what I need is pretty simple. I have a single application that I would like to add more control functionality through the mouse. I don't even necessarily need gesture control, in fact if i could just make my extra mouse buttons perform specific keyboard commands (F11, ctrl++, etc.) that would be fantastic. If I could set it to do different things on different programs.
