hrm. occasionally since i’ve upgraded to 8.04 final, i’ve noticed that i completely lose ctrl, alt, or shift…. it’s really hard to use a linux system when you can’t use those modifiers. i started paying a little more attention when it would happen and i only ever lost those keys after vmware had been running for a little bit.

i updated vmware-run-any-update from v115 to v116 (here) and things are looking a little better. i think all the sysctl.conf changes i made for vmware were lost when i upgraded…. since ubuntu 8.04 is running 2.6.24 w/ the new schedulers i haven’t really had to go back and re-tweak the vmware settings anyhow.

i’m still fighting the urge to install firefox 2 so i don’t have to use firefox 3 beta 5…. it sucks not having my old add-ons… and wierd script errors are plaguing a few sites.
