After much scouring the web i eventually found a fix for vmware workstation 7 on Ubuntu 10.4
Follow these to the T. and you should have no problem compiling vmware modules.

1. Switch to your temp directory

cd /tmp

2. Extract the vmware net source module

]tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar

3. Add #include “compat_sched.h” under the first set of includes

 gksudo gedit vmnet-only/vnetUserListener.c

4. Compress and save the source back to the original location

tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar vmnet-only

5. Extract Virtual Machine Communication Interface

tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar

6. Add #include “compat_sched.h” under the first set of includes

gksudo gedit vmci-only/linux/vmciKernelIf.c

7. Add #include “compat_sched.h” under the first set of includes

gksudo gedit vmci-only/include/pgtbl.h

8. Compress and save the source back to the original location

tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar vmci-only

9. Finally recompile the vmware modules

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

To add the dell 1320c to Ubuntu 10.4
Download the following deb file fuji-xerox-docuprint-c525-a-ap_1.0-2_i386.

if your architecture is 64bit, your probably going to have a bit of an issue! wrong architecture? no problem, just use

sudo dpkg -i --force-install fuji-xerox-docuprint-c525-a-ap_1.0-2_i386.deb

once installed open up the add printer though system > administration > printing
Follow the steps as usual and when asked for the printer make, choose the ppd file from

/usr/share/cups/model/FujiXerox/en/FX_DocuPrint_C525_A_AP.ppd

Happy printing!

The standard config doesn’t work all that well

1. Edit /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules

change the line directly after # Logitech devices and reboot!

# Logitech devices
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[4abc]|c71[34bc]", \
  RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"

1. Edit the pulse rules

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/90-pulseaudio.rules

add the following line

SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x1412", ATTRS{device}=="0x1712", ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1412", 
ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0xd634", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf"

2. Create the following file

sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf

amixer -c 0 sset  'DAC',0 100% 100%
amixer -c 0 sset  'DAC',1 100% 100%

Note* -c 0 might change depending on your setup!
