yet another draggy weblog

hi folks!

i’ve had a problem with java, netbeans and my ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 system. so, i’ve decided to start my vmware and install a 32bit system – facing another problem: vmware-tools, in particular the mouse and filesharing.

searching for solutions on the web, i found those two sites:
http://www.csi-labor.de/archives/52-Howto-Vmware-Tools-Installation-unter-Ubuntu-9.04.html
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/207410

in short: you have to patch the vmhgfs module and if you are using the gcc-4.3 also the vmware-config-tools.pl script. everything else please read by yourself.

wish you happy compiling

hi folks!

finally i initiated an update … but there were some problems:

• lost the possibility to start the “run application” over the alt+f2 shortcut
• lost the main-menu alt+f1 shortcut
• no ctrl+alt+bkspc shortcut anymore

so, i started some research action on the www …

• this page gave me the first hint, but i have had to change following line “event.data.l[1] = (Time)0;” to following “event.data.l[1] = (Time) time(NULL);” to get a auto-focused window!
• no solution yet for the main-menu (tried to fix metacity, but without success)
• all the other things found on this page!

happy fixing!
