VMware workstation keybindings fix in Ubuntu Intrepid

Posted Fri, 22/05/2009 - 20:22 by angch

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 = true

Forgot 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.

Posted Wed, 08/04/2009 - 11:32 by angch

How to enable fingerprint logins (summarized from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger) for Ubuntu Intrepid.

The above page is for different Ubuntu distros, but as a quickie for Ubuntu Intrepid on Thinkpad (tested on T61 and X61):

Install:

sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger
sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable
sudo 'echo "uinput" >> /etc/modules'
modprobe uinput # for now

Add your user:

# Login to your account
tf-tool --acquire

memcache woes in Ubuntu Intrepid.

Posted Wed, 25/03/2009 - 19:03 by angch

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
