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
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.
All you need is a mount point e.g: mkdir /media/ and then use the following: truecrypt /path/to/truecrypt/diskimage /media/. This is handy when you want to mount a truecrypt image at start-up or just do it quickly from a shell. It’s far more direct than using the GUI.
