VMware workstation keybindings fix in Ubuntu Intrepid
angch — Fri, 22/05/2009 - 20:22
Up/down keys, etc are not mapped properly in a machine hosted by Intrepid, when it was okay running under Hardy.
One fix was to .vmware/preferences, add:
hint.xkeymap.notLocal = "FALSE"
xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = trueForgot where I got the above from. VMware server uses .vmware/config, if I remember correctly. Also VMware will pop up a warning when you start it.

tf-tool --acquirememcache woes in Ubuntu Intrepid.

Seems like Ubuntu Intrepid uses a beta version of memcache module for PHP. This has caused a number of grief in my Drupal 5 + cacherouter + memcache development site: e.g. http://drupal.org/node/245341#comment-1397634
