I installed the 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) 64-bit alpha 3 this morning to check out some of the new features. And since I’ve done a few other articles about running Ubuntu in a VM I thought I’d share the experience yet again.
If you’re running VMWare Fusion 3.0+ (or the current release of Workstation 7) More >

Hulu is a great site to find new shows and catch up on old, but due to various contracts no one outside the US can use it. This irritated some friends of mine from Canada, England, Germany, et cetera. So I decided to write up one (very reliable) way to circumvent the Hulu More >

Server Name Indication (SNI), an extension to TLS, allows browsers that support it to connect to SSL hosts that do not have dedicated IPs (much like standard http virtual hosting has worked for years). This extension, however, must be supported on both the server and client side. Microsoft has not yet chosen to More >

Hello,
I have a laptop with Ubunto on it. I use VMware Workstation to use a virtual Windows machine. I just upgraded to Ubunto 9.10 and the VMware Kernel Module Updater is telling me \Before you can run VMWare Workstation, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the Kernel’. When I click Install It goes on to compile the modules but it stops at Virtual Machine Monitor (the fiorst module) telling me: Unable to build kernel, see log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-xxxx.log for details, wheras i can’t access this file either. I followed the steps following sudo apt-get instal ….. that you described in your last post. Now there are lesser modules to be compiled but Virtual Machine Monitor is still there (along with Virtual Network Device) hence I still can’t launch VMWare. Could you please help ?
Thanks in advance.
