SkyHi @ Thursday, August 06, 2009
###Install Flash Player###
System --> Synaptic Package Manager --> flashplugin-installer


Synaptic Package Manager Error:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock --open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg), is another process using it?

Solution:
Close Synaptic Package Manager


#Install vlan player
$sudo apt-get install vlc




###Exit out Remote Desktop Full Screen Mode###


$rdesktop -D -K -g x -z -a -u


Solution:
You can use Ctrl-Alt-Enter to switch between full screen and windowed mode for the remote desktop

Edit: I just read that there can be problems with a composited desktop and using Ctrl-Alt-Enter to switch modes. If this happens you need to change back to metacity (set System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects to "None")




$sudo aptitude update



nautilus-open-terminal : terminal quick launch


$sudo aptitude install nautilus-open-terminal




###Install VMware Workstation

$sudo sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.bundle



###Copy and Paste to Terminal Keyboard shortcuts###
ctrl-insert: copy
shift-insert: paste
shift-delete: cut
shift-ctrl-C: copy
shift-ctrl-V: paste
