Installing VMWare Server in Ubuntu 7.10

Installing VMWare in Ubuntu 7.10 was much simpler than I thought.

Install

Open Terminal from the Applications – Accessories menu.

  1. Update the sources.list file. Enter password when prompted.
  2. sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

    sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

    Add this line with “gutsy partner” to the end of file:

    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner

    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner

    Save or :wq

  3. Run an update.
  4. sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get update

  5. Now install VMWare.
  6. sudo apt-get install vmware-server

    sudo apt-get install vmware-server

    Wait for a little bit for installation to complete.

  7. After the install, access the VMWare Server from the Applications – System Tools menu and select VMWare Server Console.
  8. Just select Localhost and Connect.

Please refer to the VMWare documentation how to use VMWare.

Uninstall

sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-server
sudo rm -r /etc/vmware

sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-server sudo rm -r /etc/vmware

Auto Suggesting WordPress Tags

Auto Suggesting WordPress Tags

I just read the latest WordPress Weekly Digest and this line item grabbed my attention: The introduction of auto-suggest for tag entering. Wow. That is going to be one great feature. I guess it will all depend on what kind of auto-suggestion feature WordPress will implement. The two styles I’m familiar with are Google’s Search box which uses the pull-down menu, and del.icio.us in-line suggestion. See snapshots below. I like the del.icio.us feature because it’s simple, effective and non-obtrusive. It will be a perfect fit for WordPress. Regardless, I’m happy to have an auto-suggesting tagging in WordPress.

Google Search

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us’ feature appears and disappears if there is data in the tag field.
