Yet another Sony mystery. Undocumented in the included paperwork, as far as I can tell.
Oh yeah, if you want a recovery disk, you need to call in the first 30 days after purchase to get one free. After that, it’s voicemail hell to get to a live body, before you can send them more money for something they should have included in the box!
Hit F2 + F3.
Why Sony chose to go with this goofy key combo is beyond me…
If you’ve just upgraded to Hardy Heron and found that Virtual Box no longer works it might be because your host’s CD is now called something else. Mine became /dev/scd0 after the upgrade. All I had to do was detach it from the virtual machine and reattach it & everything works fine.
If you’ve just upgraded to Hardy Heron and found that VMware Server no longer works, take a look at Installing VMware 6.0.2 and VMware Server on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. You’ll find an explanation of what needs to be changed and, even better, a patched version of vmware-any-any-update115 that’ll make it work!
If you were already running VMware Server, chances are that the upgrade included all the build files, but just in case it didn’t, this command wil get them for you:
sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
