K9Copy vs Wine + DVDDecrypter --> Ubuntu

Well, I'm bit of drunk now after consuming more than 2 hours fixing dvddecrypter + wine combo. The early problem of dvddecrypter is it could not recognize the dvd writer on PC. Solution, run "winccfg" and setup the wine as win NT 4.0. After that it works like a charm....yummy.
If you want to 100% MicroSoft free application then try the k9copy from kde. It also work verywell but it did not give too much feature.
Well, Give it a try guys....what i want to say that linuxs and internet like mother and her kids. if you have problem ask your mother.

VMWare Mesh Up

Never ever ever install VMWare Player after VMWare Server installed....
It will ruin your system. VMWare Player cannt work, reinstall, or uninstall. Your VMWare server broken...Thats nice...Hueh

To uninstall the player invoke this command in your command shell to delete failure log file, i guess :P

sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-player.prerm
sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-player.postinst
sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-player.postrm

Then followed by "remove" command

sudo apt-get remove vmware-player

It should be working if its not consult to the reference website i put below.

Beryl + Feisty + Nvidia

What a great combo the setup was as easy as a "flink" ( i dont know what this word mean but it sound, kind of easy i guess heheh). Setting up beryl under feisty much painless than in Dapper.
1. Install NVIDIA proprietery (mine was Geforce 7600):
navigate to Sytem/Administration/Restricted Driver --> Check the Nvidia Driver option
2. Install Bery and it work like a charm. :
"sudo aptitude install beryl emerald-themes beryl-manager" (Wen Kiat,2007)
3. Hasta la VISTA babe.

Enjoy your BERYL.
