For using the whole 4GB of RAM on a Ubuntu system you just have to install the two following packages:

that's all :-)

VMware Server: grayed USB devices under VM... 
Monday, June 16, 2008, 01:52 PM - VMware
...when you want to mount a USB device (e.g. USB HDD) over the VMware server console installed on a Linux machine and the menu is empty, that should be the same problem as mine.

The solution is to open the following file...
vi /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

...and comment out the 4 lines...
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb


Now you have to restart the mountdevusbds.sh and that's it!

EDIT:
If the problem exists again after a reboot, then add the following line in your /etc/fstab
usbfs 		/proc/bus/usb 	usbfs auto 0 0

GVPN Client: gvpndialer: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open... 
Monday, June 16, 2008, 08:19 AM - Linux
If you have the above error message, I am almost sure that you installed the converted RPM package on a Debian system (e.g. Ubuntu).
The problem is that the gvpndialer is looking for this library and can't find it, because the name of the library is not the same on Debian as on Suse, RedHat, CentOS or something like this.

Therefore you just have to make a symlink as superuser
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0


That's it!

VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel... 
Tuesday, June 10, 2008, 06:36 PM - VMware
Everytime when I want to start a VM on Server, I got this message.
VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please see the VMware Server documentation.

Also after doing the vmware-config.pl, the same message again.

I am not sure but I guess there is a bug in the
/etc/init.d/vmware


There was a temporary solution for me, that works, you just have to open the above file with a text editor as a superuser and find the following lines
if [ "$exitcode" -gt 0 ]; then
# Set the 'not configured' flag
touch "$vmware_etc_dir"'/not_configured'
chmod 644 "$vmware_etc_dir"'/not_configured'
db_add_file "$vmware_db" "$vmware_etc_dir"'/not_configured' \
"$vmware_etc_dir"'/not_configured'
exit 1
fi

here comment the whole part out. After that run the vmware-config.pl again.

That's all!

amaroK: xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers 
Saturday, June 7, 2008, 03:54 PM - Linux
I installed Debian 4.0r3 on my workstation. Since any months I use amarok as my favorite music player and it worked great on several distributions.
But not on my Debian system. After some seconds of a playing track the following message pops up:
xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.

So when I pressed the OK button, the message went away and amarok freezed at the same time.

After investigating some times for finding a solution, I got one that helped me.
I just had to disable the crossfading.

I guess it's a bug in the amarok version (my version is 1.4.4).
