I use OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and have VMware Fusion 7.1.1 where Ubuntu 14.04 has been installed. Moreover, I have installed VMware Tools patches.
Copy and paste between Mac and Ubuntu using keyboard shortcuts (Command+C then Command+V) worked fine before. I don't know if it is because of the recent upgrade from VMware Fusion 6.x to 7.1.1 or the installation of the VMware Tools patches, but copy and paste does not work any more. Here are some screenshots of the settings:
Could anyone help?
Previously, I post a question about an error of installing VMware-tools in a Ubuntu under a virtual machine. I have not got any solution yet.
So I installed another Ubuntu 14.04 LTS under the virtual machine. Everything was new. I did software updates, and then directly tried to install VMware-tools. I have got an error, always about the shared folder. The whole log is here:
This problem of shared folder really is killing me... Hope someone could help...
PS: I use OS X 10.9.2 and a virtual machine 6.0.5 VMware Fusion.
PPS: I guess something has been written to some files of VMware Fusion, I would need to reset that or overwrite that. Unfortunately, I could not reinstall VMware Fusion (because I have Windows and other things inside).
I use MacBook with Mac OS X 10.9.1. I have installed VMWare Fusion 6.0.2, under which Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has been installed as virtual machine.
Now I need to increase the size of the disk of Ubuntu. GParted shows that there is 80G unallocated:
However, right-clicking on the first partition shows that Resize/Move is gray, then I don't know how to continue...
PS: this post seems to have same problem as I. If so, could anyone tell me how to Boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD under VMWare Fusion?
Edit1:
I have set up the following in VMWare to try to Boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD:
Once started, it is odd that I didn't see anything different from a boot from hard disk... Still, I opened terminal, turned swap off, and launched GParted. In GParted, I deleted the swap (as well as the whole extended partition containing it). However, I could not resize/move /dev/sda1. Could anyone help?
Edit2:
Following the comment of @Hadi , I think creating another disk is not a bad idea, a disk usage analysis shows the follows. Could anyone suggest which of my folders should be mounted to a newly created disk?
I would like to type Chinese in Emacs. I followed this link, and tried several input methods including chinese-py. It seems that, unlike normal IME of an operation system, it is not possible to type more than 1 character one time. We have to type character 1 by 1, this is not convenient at all.
Does anyone have a solution?
I am using a Mac with an Apple Wireless Keyboard - French.
I have installed Ubuntu as virtual machine by VMware Fusion. The keyboard setting of Ubuntu is as follows:
And the preview is not exactly as Apple Wireless Keyboard - French:
In Mac, we can type \ and [ by:
However, it doesn't work under Ubuntu. Could anyone tell me how to type \ and [ under Ubuntu? Also, is there a keyboard other than French, that I currently set, which fits better my Mac keyboard?
My Ubuntu is within a virtual machine.
When I log in with a Ubuntu session, the web browser works fine. But when I log in with an Xfce session, the web browser does not work… I try to change proxy setting, it gives me:
When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see
man google-chromefor more information on flags and environment variables.
Could anyone help?
As Compiz Grid is not supported in ubuntu-2d, I am looking for alternative to tile windows.
This video shows that xfce4 and xfwm4 can snap windows to a part of the screen. I would like to do that by keyboard shortcuts.
I have already installed xfce4and xfwm4, but I don't see which one in the following list does the job:
Could anyone help?
I am under GNOME, and a Ubuntu 11.10 as virtual machine, which does not enable 3D accelaration.
I just downloaded xmonad via software center.
I guess the first step is to replace the current window manager (metacity), and then set or learn the shortcut keys.
But when I launch xmonad in a terminal, that gives me:
/home/.../.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
Could anyone tell me how to start?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 as virtual machine within Mac.
I have installed VM tools.
The approach in this link of Compizconfig Grid, which worked in my previous laptop where Ubuntu was not a virtual machine, does not work anymore. I set some shortcut, but no action is launched...
Does anyone know why?
The major functionality I need from Grid is tiling windows to left/right side of the screen... Does anyone know any alternative?
PS: I have tried other plugins of Compizconfig, for instance, Move Window works...
Edit1: The desktop environment I am using is Ubuntu, not Gnome. The unity is 2D instead of 3D. It is not a problem for me to change it if that can solve the Grid or tiling problem above.
Edit2 & 3: I didn't know that Unity2D does not use compiz by default... After installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf, I launched compiz --replace &in a terminal, that gives:
And I tried Grid once again: bind shortcut <Control><Alt>g to Put Left, it still does not work.
But as I said before, if I bind <Control><Alt>g to Initiate Window Move in Move Window (either before or after compiz --replace &), the shortcut always has an effect...
Edit 4: I just enabled Accelerate 3D Graphics, which was disabled before... But rerunning compiz --replace & in a terminal gives exactly same message as before including 2 Fatal for opengl.
I use ssh mylogin@server to connect to a remote server... I am wondering how to copy the whole files from there to my local machine...
One reason to do this, is that, I could not compile a latex file on the server, there is an error: ! LaTeX Error: File tikz.sty not found. I guess this error will disappear if I compile the same file on my local machine.
Another reason is that it seems that there are not too many tools on the server, for example, I can not open a pdf by evince, which is doable on my local machine.
Could anyone help?
I use pidgin to chat... At the moment Alt-S launches Smiles, does anyone know how to change it to send the message?
I use ssh to connect to a remote machine where a file is.
Once the connection is established, if I run emacs the_file in the terminal, instead of launching my local Emacs, it opens an editor inside the terminal which is very modest...
Does anyone know how to open this file in a normal emacs session?
I would like to configure and change some shortcut keys of Nautilus (file manager of Ubuntu). Does anyone know where I could do that?
Edit1: Precisely, initial binding for "go to parent folder" in Nautilus is Tab + Up arrow, I would like to chang it to Ctrl + Up arrow because Tab + Up arrow has already been set to other things via Compiz.
I have a dual system: Windows 7 + Ubuntu. The Windows came with my laptop and I installed Ubuntu without Wubi...
My total filesystem capacity: 303.2 GB, I just do not understand why there is not much space for Ubuntu. Here is a screenshot of Disk Usage Analyzer, where The 新家卷 under media is a disk mounted:
Here are the screenshots of Disk Utility, I even do not know which disk is for Ubuntu
I can delete many films to save space under Windows, but it seems that there is nothing to do with Ubuntu... Could anyone help? Thank you very much
Edit1: As requested, here is the result of df -h:

I am going to change my machine: from a laptop with Ubuntu to another laptop where I am going to install Ubuntu...
I am quite happy with the current system, what I am afraid of is having to rebuild everything from 0.
So what do people often do to clone an Ubuntu system? That may include the data, packages, shortcut settings, etc...
It sounds odd, but I really can not remember how I installed my ubuntu.
What I am sure is, I had Windows 7 installed on the laptop in the very beginning, then I installed ubuntu so that this is a dual system 1 year ago.
I need to know if the ubuntu was installed with wubi or not, because it determines how I could resize the partition of ubuntu...
Could anyone help? Thank you very much!
Does anyone know how to convert an ODT file (LibreOffice) to PDF?
It is true that there are similar questions in the forum... But as I installed Ubuntu under Windows 7 long time ago, I do not remember how I did it or whether I used Wubi, which is discussed in many similar questions.
So the situation is, I had Windows 7 installed on the laptop in the very beginning, then I installed Ubuntu so that this is a dual system (once again, i could not remember how I did it).
Today when I use "Disk Usage Analyzer" to scan the disks. It says:
Total filesystem capacity: 303.2 GB (used: 162.2 GB available: 141.0 GB)
And the size of root is 161.1 GB whose usage is 100%. It seems that the files under my Windows are all counted in this 161.GB. So now the question is how to make use of the rest 141.0 GB, especially extend Ubuntu space with that.
Could anyone help? Thank you very much.
As suggested, here is some images from Disk Utility: http://imgur.com/a/CG06S#hGaZl and images from Disk Usage Analyzer http://imgur.com/SVpaV , the folder under /media is mounted from Windows (so both Windows and Ubuntu could share it)
I have already dual systems : Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my laptop. The Windows 7 had been installed when I bought this laptop, and I don't have a CD.
I just installed VitrualBox under Ubuntu, hoping that I could install another Windows in this virtual machine, so that I could run some applications of Windows even under Ubuntu.
But it seems that I need a CD or ISO of Windows to boot inside this virtual machine. Otherwise, there is an error: FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted. My question is where I could find a CD or ISO?
At the moment, I am downloading ISO from this page, but do not know if it will work. By the way, I am not sure if I should pick the 32-bit or 64-bit? As my CPU is 64-bit but my Ubuntu is i386.
Could anyone help? Thank you very much.
I am trying to install VirtualBox on my Ubuntu.
I first tried to sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose in a terminal, but after the configuration step, it fails with an error:
No suitable module for running kernel found When proceeding with starting
virtualbox, I get this error: WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and the appropriate headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
So I tried the package from http://www.virtualbox.org/, but starting VirtualBox fails with:
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.38-8-generic-pae) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setupYou will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
So I ran sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, but it fails too:
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae cannot be found at

* Failed, trying without DKMS
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong

As I am stuck, I also tried to install kernel-devel with yum, still fruitless:
root@ubuntu# yum install kernel-devel
Setting up Install Process
No package kernel-devel available.
Nothing to do
Now I've no idea how to correct this. Any ideas?
