A very complete explanation about installing this usefull VMWare Tools inside VMWare Player.
As other sites have demonstrated, it is possible to create a VMware disk image using free tools and install a full-fledged virtual operating system using the free VMware Player. However, VMware Player does not provide VMware Tools, a set of programs that considerably improve VMware performance.
The following procedure shows how to extract and install the VMware Tools image from the VMware Workstation “tarball” (.tar.gz
1. Download the latest “Archived Version” of VMware Workstation in “.tar.gz” format at http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/. You do not need to be registered nor have a VMware Workstation license key to download this version.
Example:
wget http://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-workstation-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz2. Locate and extract the windows.iso VMware Tools image from the tarball.
Locate the windows.iso file (example):
$ tar ztvf VMware-workstation-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz | grep windows.iso
vmware-distrib/lib/isoimages/windows.isoExtract the windows.iso file (example):
$ tar zxvf VMware-workstation-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz vmware-distrib/lib/isoimages/windows.iso3. Mount the windows.iso file as a loopback file system, and either share the loopback file system with Samba, or copy the VMware Tools files to a location accessible by your guest system.
$ mkdir /tmp/vmware_tools
# mount -o loop vmware-distrib/lib/isoimages/windows.iso /tmp/vmware_tools
4. In your guest system, run setup.exe from the VMware Tools directory.
file). In this example, my guest system is Windows XP Professional, and my host system is Fedora Core 4.
The XPI package for your language doesnt work?
Here is the solution, Thuderbird use the system’s dictionarie “myspell”, so you have to copy file in /usr/share/myspell/dicts/
Or just copy and paste with the good dictionary file you can find here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
wget http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/fr_FR.zip
sudo unzip fr_FR.zip -d /usr/share/myspell/dicts/
and just restart Thunderbird.
There are many tutorials, but I want to complete with some tricks I just found :
Must have package that should be installed by default (if you use Nautilus) :

After some researchs, I have tested Umbrello which is directly installable from Synaptic and Bouml that you can find here in deb format package.
I found that Umbrello is very intuitive, you can import Java classes, make some code reverse engineering and of course generate code. But you don’t have all UML schemas (for example, I didn’t find sequence diagram).
Bouml includes every UML diagrams that I known and is a good alternative.
A very good article, very useful, thanx to its author !
I often use the UNIX command line tool scp (secure copy) to copy a file to a remote server. However, scp has one major drawback: It doesn’t support resuming a transfer. So whenever I’m transferring a file and something comes up which interrupts my transfer–which is bound to happen–I’m cursing away at scp. The solution? Use rsync. It is overkill for most things I do, but when a transfer is interrupted, it is handy. Now, on to the doing.
I want to transfer the file “myFile” to the server “remoteMachine”, which I do with scp:
scp myFile remoteMachine:dirToPutIn/
(You should know this already if you’re reading this in the first place.)(Muzak while the transfer is in progress; a loud wail and the sound of hair being torn out by its roots as the transfer comes to a grinding halt.)
Time to resume the file with rsync, which I do thusly:
rsync --partial --progress myFile remoteMachine:dirToPutIn/
The “–partial” argument is what does the trick. I added “–progress” because I like to see how the transfer is going; rsync understandably doesn’t show this by default as it is mostly used for purposes which don’t require live progress reporting (e.g. scheduled backups).Because I know I’ll have this problem again at some point, I have created an alias in my shell’s (zsh) configuration file (~/.zshrc):
alias scpresume="rsync --partial --progress"
I know that rsync and scp are not necessarily related, but the name “scpresume” reflects the purpose of the task I wish to do. And getting it done is what matters the most after all.Update:
Jan pointed out in a comment that rsync communication is not secure by default, and that you should use tunneling to achieve secure communication. Andi provides the solution which is quite simple: Use--rsh=ssh
(use ssh as the remote shell). Thus, our alias from before would look like this:alias scpresume="rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh"
