Problem to probe eth0 when making VMware Clone

I opend the vmware vmx file and looked at the first ethernet mac adress.

Changed eth0 mac to the same as in the vmx file and reboot. then it worked.

Office 2010 - Ubuntu 9.10

I just got this link for Office 2010 public beta. Tomorrow i am going to try installing it on Linux with Crossover.
Get Office 2010 here!

A little bit of bypass.

I just remembered a page called slashdot. I used to read it about 5-6 years ago and i finally found my way back. One thing that caught my eye was an article about a vaunerbility in the linux kernel. Its a bug that gives the exploiter full access to your computer. You can read more about it here.

If you want to see a full list of witch Kernel Versions are vulnerable you can check out securityfocus.
And if you dont know how to check your kernel version you can type uname -r in the console.

3 at night and my desktop starts to look good

I just found a few sweet things to modify my desktop with. i got a bit more of a mac feeling to it. :D The bar on the bottom is called cairo dock and it was easy to install after i followed this guide.
Here is a small peak of how it looks so far.

Ubuntu is on my laptop!

Ok so i decided to try it out! Ubuntu as a desktop platform.
So far so good. I managed to install Flash 10 on 64bit platform. It was not so hard tho.
I think i tried it a year ago with 8.10 and i couldn't get it to work. Now i just downloaded a .tar.gz file containing a .so file that i put in ~/.mozilla/addons and it started working right away after firefox restart.

I installed a nice firefox blogg addon to. It is called ScribeFire. It lets me connect to all my blogs. It's perfect.

creating FTP server of your Ubuntu machine.

Since i want to have a Web-server on my machine i am going to install a FTP server on it so it will be easier for people to upload material for their website. I looked around on the net and found proFTPD server. It will do for now but i later on I want encrypted traffic for safety. I found a pretty nice guide how to set up this server on this page. LINK

I added users with a command called useradd. Pretty easy to use and you will find some nice howtos for adding users and groups on this site. LINK
Dont forget to add -m so home directory is created.
To add password to user you just write
passwd (username)
