VMware Server: Convert Fixed Disk-images to Growable | Comments (0)

Posted in Snippets on 18th September 2008, 8:00 pm by Stuart

Quick tip if you ever want to convert from a fixed disk image to an expandable one then the following command should do it:

sudo vmware-vdiskmanager -r source.vmdk -t 0 expandable.vmdk

Just replace “source” and “expandable” with your disk image file names. For more on what vmware-vdiskmanager can do for you type vmware-vdiskmanager -h

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
