General :: VMware Snapshot With VMware Tools Loses Network On Restart - Host XP - Guest Fedora

Oct 3, 2010

I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.

I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/

I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.

I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.

In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.

One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.

It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.

The network can be restored by rebooting the image.

Fedora Installation :: Error While Trying To Install Vmware Tools - 11

Oct 22, 2009

I have Vmware Fusion 2.0.6 (196839) running on my MacBook Pro. I installed Fedora 11 on the fusion and it works fine. The only problem that I am having is that when I try to install vmware tools, by runnning ./vmware-install.pl in the terminal, I am prompted with this message: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

If I press Enter, the same message pops up. I am fairly new to linux, and I am just setting this up so I can set up a web server on this virtual machine for testing purposes.

the kernel that I have running is:

root@box1 include# uname -r
2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE

Ubuntu :: Open VMware Tools Aren't Detected By VMware Workstation

Jul 17, 2011

I have installed the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (11.04) into latest VMware workstation (7.1.4 build-385536). I have tried to install the VMware tools ISO that came with VMware workstation but It didn't work and the installation seemed real sloppy anyways.

I installed the open VMware tools from synaptic within the guest linux and restarted, everything seemed to have been installed just fine but VMware Workstation doesn't detect it. I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.

getting any form of VMware tools to run in Linux and detected by VMware Workstation.

General :: Why Is VMWare Workstation So Slow On Linux?

Feb 17, 2010

I'm using Fedora Core 12 quad-core Linux box. However, when I run VMWare Workstation (running a single virtual XP box, running nothing) it slows to a crawl. The load average jumps from 0.11 to 4 or even 7 when I am using the virtual box. The mouse stops responding within the virtual box, and even on Fedora itself when the load average gets high enough. I can't get any work done and I can't get into "the zone".

Fedora :: C Headers For Vmware-tools On Ws7?

Dec 21, 2009

I have installed workstation 7 and installed f12 in it. I have tried to install the tools but it cant find the headers. I have the latest kernel 2.6.31.6-166 PAE and installed the headers and devel. I have pointed the the path to /lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE/build/include and /usr/src/kernel/2.6.31.6-166-fc12.i686.PAE/include and it wont take any.I have searched google and the forums and all i find is you need to install the devel and headers which i've done.

Fedora :: Installing VMware Tools In 12 Guest?

Feb 5, 2010

[There are quite a few outdated guides relating to older versions of Fedora, so I figured that I'll write it up specifically for Fedora 12 to make life easier for others]

This guide is based on a fully patched Fedora 12 distribution as of Feb 5 2009.

A default install of Fedora 12 as a VMware Image (Guest) will generally fail to install VMware Tools for the following reasons (In the Fedora 12 Guest Image):

1. GCC and related packages are not installed

Make sure that 'yum list gcc*' has at least the following packages installed (these are not installed by default unless you select developer configuration).

[root@localhost ~]# yum list gcc*
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
gcc.i686 4.4.2-20.fc12 @updates
gcc-c++.i686 4.4.2-20.fc12 @updates

2. Correct kernel-devel packages are not installed. This generally manifests itself via the following prompt:
'What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?'

Fedora 12 installs kernel-PAE by default instead of the normal kernel rpm for the i386 distribution. Consequently, the header files required by vmware-config-tools.pl are found in 'kernel-PAE-devel' and not 'kernel-devel'.

[root@localhost ~]# yum list kernel*
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages

[code]...

The symlink /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE/source should work if the correct kernel-*-devel package is installed. vmware-config-tools.pl seems to only check this link to determine if it has found a legitimate kernel header directory.

Fedora :: Installing VMware Tools In 13 Guest?

May 26, 2010

I'm trying to install the vmware tools in Fedora 13. I've run the following commands as root:

yum install gcc -y
yum install kernel-devel -y
./vmware-install.pl
...

when it asks for the location of the directory of the C header files that match my running kernel I entered:

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686/include

but vmware-install.pl says:

The path to "/usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686/inc" is not valid..

Software :: How To Check VMware Tools Version

Nov 11, 2010

We have installed vmware tools (open-vm-tools) on Ubuntu Hardy which is comaptible with the ESX 4.1. The packages are installed adding a repo.

deb [URL] main restricted

The Ubuntu VM is presently running on ESX 3.5, we will soon upgrade it to 4.0. How can I confirm which version of vmware-tools is running on the Guest Ubuntu VM? When we upgrade to new ESX version, the vmtools must be intact.

CentOS 5 :: Vmware-tools Saying Kernel Headers Don't Match / Why Is So?

Jul 4, 2010

2.6.18-194.8.1.el5xen is the reported kernel that I'm running while the headers that are installed are listed as 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686. I assume these are the same, or at least close enough that it shouldn't matter.

However, when I run vmware-config-tools.pl to configure it it says it cannot find the kernel headers. I've tried pointing it to /usr/src/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686/ and /usr/src/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686/include (not sure which of the two I'm supposed to do as online instructions contradict one another) it says that is invalid and there seems to be no way to force it since it just complains without letting me use it anyway. What can I do? Running centos 5 btw on vmware workstation 7.

Fedora Installation :: VMware Tools For The Sake Of The SVGA Driver Alone?

Feb 3, 2011

I'm trying to install VMware Tools for the sake of the SVGA driver alone. For the life of me, I cannot get it to work. I'm able to run ./vmware-install.pl but when it comes to configuring it that's where I've run into trouble. I've been trying and trying and trying and trying all morning to get this to work and I'm getting very frustrated now. It keeps asking me, "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?" I've Googled this and read several threads on the issue, tried every conceivable path I think it might be and it keeps coming back again and again saying "The path "<path>" is not valid. Would you like to change it?" WTF!? Can somebody please tell me what the default location of the C header files is under Fedora 14? Geez Louise I just want to install VMware Tools, for Christ's sake! It shouldn't be this difficult. BTW,

Debian Configuration :: Changing Linux I / O Scheduler For VMware Guest

Mar 22, 2016

Following VMware recommendations on how to change linux I/O scheduler for guests, I'm trying to do it on my VM machine running Debian Wheezy. At the moment I'm running kernel backports:

Code: Select all$ uname -a
Linux brutus2 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3~bpo70+1 (2016-01-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The default I/O scheduler at the moment for device /dev/sda is CFQ, and I can change it on the fly to NOOP:

Code: Select all$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline [cfq]
$ echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[noop] deadline cfq

[CODE]..

Fedora :: Can't Run GEdit And Other Tools From A Terminal By Logging In As Root?

Jul 20, 2011

Everyone is wondering why we can't run gEdit and other tools from a terminal by logging in as root(e.g"su-"), I understand that by making changes they are trying to force us as users of Linux to learn better habits that are more secure, but the issues are driving people nuts!

I for one really like being able to log as root and open gEdit to make drive changes without having to login as root, I would normally still have access to all my things like email etc. So changing Linux to force everyone to not use tools like gEdit as root is becoming more of an inconvenience than they realize, there must be a safe way to do this!
