Software :: Gnome - Vmware - When Trying To Browse - Open Vmware Images
Mar 28, 2009
I am running an up to date Debian Lenny system with vmware 1.08 server installed.
When I run vmware, it appears to start normally. However, when I try to open a previously created image (from a different machine), everything is fine until I hit browse, which causes a screen to pop up that syas "The folder contents could not be displayed VFS error: Invlalid paramteres." and the following shows up on the command line:
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 I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.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.
I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine in VMWare Server for Linux. I'm at the part where it asks for an ISO image. The inventory is empty. I don't know what directory this actually corresponds to on my Linux system. I tried moving the .iso to my home directory but VMWare still does not see it.
Is it possible to install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 VMware AMD edition (which I downloaded) on VMware linux? It is under Windows 7 so I just need to know if everything of VMware linux (like Hardware Virtualization) is the same under linux as for Windows.
I want to install debian on vmware workstation 7.1.4 but there's a problem! when I try to install vmware tools or open-vm, it can't complete compile modules of vmware. It is a big problem... It seem problem of kernel version after 2.6.37... But I can't find solution. logs.... Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
I completed the installation of VMWare Server 2.0.2 onto a CentOS 5.4 64-bit distribution. There is a VMware virtual machine file on the server in question, and I want to activate it through the application console.
I did not see anything readily apparent that would facilitate the importing of the virtual machine file. Does anyone have a procedure that can accomplish this task?
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.
I'm trying to access the VMWare console from firefox using the VMWare plugin. The problem is that it doesn't work on Firefox version 3.6.8. So how can I access the console?
Currently we use an iSCSI SAN as storage for several VMware ESXi servers. I am investigating the use of an NFS target on a Linux server for additional virtual machines. I am also open to the idea of using an alternative operating system (like OpenSolaris) if it will provide significant advantages.What Linux-based filesystem favours very large contiguous files (like VMware's disk images)? Alternatively, how have people found ZFS on OpenSolaris for this kind of workload?
im running suse 11.3_x64 clean install along side with Win7 Pro _x64 had a big fight installing Vbox 3.2.8 PUEL edition but i need to test some VMWare products like 'VMWare vShpere (ESXi 4..0.1 - which i couldn't install in a vm in Vbox) ' before putting it in production enviroment in some of my clients. version: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86_64 The installation of vmware was quite simple with no errors. the problem kicks in after the first reboot when i try to run it. before installing vmware i installed the following:
[Code]..
When i try to run vmware workstation the 1st error kicks in: Before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
I have installed fc12 on my core2due machine, and I have installed the vmware server on it, its rpm is installed successfully with out any error, after that a message is displayed
The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "rpm -e VMware-server".
Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".
I tried this command and find the this message
[Akram@localhost Downloads]$ su -c "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" Password: Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.4.2", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3" anyway? [no] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/src/linux/include]
Now it asks me in last lines that "What is the location of Directory of C header files that match your running kernal?"
The usual way to access to a virtual machine console from a VmWare server 2 is to use Firefox :
- you type the URL of your VmWare server, e.g. : https://myserver:8333 - then you click on the console tab, for the vm you want to access to - the first time, firefox tells you to install a dedicated plug-in - then, when you click on the right panel, a new window appears for the vm console.
But on a fresh installed x64 Suse 11.3, with Firefox 3.6.6, the plug-in does not open the window and you get an error : "Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out." There is a workaround that I find much more convenient than to use firefox :
- you need to access to your vmware server installation : /usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/ui/plugin - you fetch the vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.xpi file and you copy it somewhere on your Suse PC (e.g. /home/myhome) - you change the extension : mv vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.xpi vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.tar.gz - you unzip it : unzip vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.tar.gz (it will create 2 files and 2 directories : components and plugins) - you will run the VmWare plug-in directly : plugins/vmware-vmrc - for the hostname, you have to enter : myserver:8333 - and it works !

I have debian8.2 installed in VMware 12 with gnome desktop as guest os.
It boot into gnome successfully. But it will not boot into CLI mode and recovery mode. While boot into CLI, It is stucked in a blank screen, no cursor, after long long boot log splash in the screen.
To boot into CLI rather than gnome, I just set default.target into multi-user.target for systemd. I checked the syslog for boot into CLI, found that systemd execute getty 1~6, but it seemed to no success log and it seem to no other log for systemd. Is it failed to getty?
I check the grapyical.target and multi-user.target in systemd, find multi-user.target is the only one target required by graphical.target. Multi-user.target can be execute successfully during boot into graphical mode, while it will not be successfully execute during boot into CLI mode. That's is so unpredicted. Is there something else I missed?
I currently have GNOME Boxes and Oracle VM VirtualBox installed on my Debian 8 system, and it works well. However, I recently installed VMware Workstation Player 12, and that seems to work too. However, I've noticed that since I've installed VMware, the networking in my GNOME Boxes virtual machines does not work. Also, every time I go to my networking settings, I see virtual networking devices for VMware that are really annoying. Why don't I have virtual networking adapters pop up for VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes? How can I get VMware and GNOME Boxes to play nice together?
We are setting up virtual Ubuntu 10 machines that will just be used to launch a portal to our servers. I have the stripped down image created, but would like it to launch the VMware View Open Client software so it took users directly to what we want them to see.Is there a way with Ubuntu to set that to auto deploy on start up? If I could do that it would greatly improve security on keeping users from getting to places we don't want them into
I have install Redhat Linux server 5 on VMware machine.The installtion is successfully completed and i have given FQDN name to the system(redhatserver.test.com) with static ip address. I am able to ping the IP also. but when i tries to execute the "dig" or "nsllokup" command it gives the error"connection timeout, no servers could be reached"I have checked the resolv.conf also, its having following directive search test.com nameserver 192.168.10.1 (server ip)
Is there any means of converting a VMware VM into a KVM VM? If there is no direct way is there a KVM tool that will convert a running system into a KVM VM like VMware has? If that exists it would be possible to run it on a VMware VM to produce a KVM VM?
I don't know what's the problem but I've been trying to install fedora 12 on my windows 7 pc using vmware enterprise but I can't pass the installation, when I double-click the icon to install nothing happens, I've waited like 15 minutes and no window pops up, I don't know what to do.
I seem to be having a problem getting VMware 2.0.2-203138 installed on Fedora 13.I've downloaded the rpm from VWware's site, and ran rpm -iv VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpmAfter I ran vmware-config.plIt came back saying it will use complier /usr/bin/gcc and asks me for the location of the C header files.I tell it /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686/include but it comes back with the following error message
Code: The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686). Even if the module were to
Since installing Fedora 14, I have found that everytime I run Vmware player it goes through the compile sequence. It works fine after that. It should only compile if the kernel has changed. Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas what is wrong?
I have a problem i can't compile vmware i have all the packages that are needed to compile VMware.The compile can't compile anything. Here is the log of the compile :

I installed VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.i386.bundle on openSUSE 11.2. It installed without any issues whatsoever.However, when I try to run vmware through my terminal I get the following errors After this the following box pops-up and when I click on "install" on the above dialog box I get this error
Recently upgraded to 11.2, but I think it was a downgrade. VMware 6.5.2 was working great on 11.1. On 11.2 it just fails miserably both during the install and trying to build the modules. So I downloaded VMware 6.5.4 and it hangs even worse during the VMware-Player configuration (doing a make I think).So, let's try out VMware 7. It installed great. Unfortunately I didn't read the release notes - it requires a PAE processor, which I don't have So tried to uninstall VMware 7 so I could try just the VMware-Player free product. VMware was not installed with rpm so rpm can't uninstall it. Then removed all the files manually as per this VMware KB: Manually uninstalling VMware Workstation from Linux hosts VMware-Player installation issues a popup saying "component vmware-workstation 7.0.0 has unsatisfied dependency: vmware-player-app=3.0.0." Before I go back to 11.1 or to some other distro, would anyone know how to really get rid of VMware 7 so that I can try the player only?
I'm running OpenSUSE 11.4 x86 with KDE 4.6 and kernel version 2.6.37.6-0.5. I'm not advanced linux user, though I'm trying to use it occasionally for getting more experience. Now I want to check which of the virtualization software suits me better, I've already tried VirtualBox and now I want to try VMware. I know that it has a lot of products, but for just home use I guess that I need only player. So, when I try to find it through my default repositories, I just was able to find this vmware-guest-kmp-default . I don't know what is it, so I tried to search through the OpenSUSE Build Service, but there's also no player package. I've already downloaded the source from the official site and yes, I do know how to built binaries from the source, but I know also, that after installing in a such way, it would be difficult for the package manager to track the software, as it's not rpm. So I want to ask you first, if you know any other way, to get the RPM package of the VMware Player from any suse repository.
I get the following error when I try to run vmware under opensuse 11.4 64bit:
Code: process 8923: Attempt to remove filter function 0x7fe2fd7a2980 user data 0x8a6c40, but no such filter has been added D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace The process, filter function and user data values change each time but the error happens every time.
I have followed the process suggested by Djarum123 in this thread: HTML Code: [URL] but to no avail. The error remains the same.
The VMware version is: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.4-385536.x86_64
Here is the machine info:
Code: > uname -a Linux lysander 2.6.37.6-0.5-default #1 SMP 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have googled a bit but cannot find references to this error.
Now I'm using a router to connect my computer to the Internet. I installed VMware Workstation 7 on my computer and installed a guest OS which is CentOS 5.3. Now I want to using putty to connect to the guest OS in my host computer, and I need the guest os can access the Internet too. How can I configure my host's network, guest os and my router?
I installed Vmware the other day on my laptop, ran fine, installed a couple of programs. Now, a few days later, booted it up tried to find Vmware, but its not there in the menu. Oracle VM Virtualbox is installed (was installed before vmware, but had problems with getting files over to it), has that somehow got rid of vmware? If so, how do i get rid of Oracle VM?
I am trying to ge my vm player to run. I have installed the program. Next, I go to shortcut location. upon startup of vm player it gives me this error:
Before you can run Vmware Player, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernal.

I have tried everything that I have found, but nothing works.
I'm having all kinds of stability issues running the latest version of vmware workstation on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit. Anyone know if this is a stable config or not? If not, which version/architecture of Ubuntu is?
