I currently have a full install of Ubuntu 10.4 64-Bit running under VMWare Fusion on my MacBookPro. I works fine but I am looking to streamline things a bit. All I actually need is to be able run commands from the command line.
View 3 RepliesI've always been interested in Linux and it seems that the new version of Ubuntu (10.04) is pretty good. Now I want to build an Ubuntu desktop to use as my main computer. I've been running it through VMWare Fusion and I haven't had too many problems at all on my iMac (27" i5). Unfortunately, I still need my iMac since the new Steam client is coming out for OS X and I must have some of my Steam games. I guess I don't mind running it in VMWare, but I do miss the excitement of building a new computer with a nice case and fans, and throwing a fresh clean OS on it. Anyone else been in the same dilemna? I feel though I have spent enough money on computers recently. Plus, I don't have room on my desk for another widescreen monitor. I'm not sure where I would put my iMac.

So. I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 PPC from the LiveCD on my Mac G5. There is 4GB of ram in it. 2 CPU's and A Nvidia FX5200.
Now i want to install compiz fusion. I knew that Nvidia doesn't bring out PPC linux drivers. So what do i need to do to get compiz-fusion working?
Problem 2 is I can't find my Xorg.conf
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 in VBOX on a Windows 7 host. I have a Nvidia Geforce 9600 gt graphics card. I would really like to get Compiz Fusion desktop effects working on it. Is this possible? I have read some threads where people have ultimately found out that the VBox guest addition drivers are not compatible. How can I determine if mine is going to work?

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.
I have an HP Compaq nx6125 laptop, which has an AMD Turion 64 2200MHz processor, running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have installed the VMware Workstation 6.5.2 [full] trial and am attempting to install Fedora 11 on a virtual machine.
I understand that the Turion processor is a 64 bit processor, so I downloaded the Fedora 11 x86_64 DVD iso image.
First I have to create a VMware virtual machine (VM) and choose a version for it. If I choose a version that is any of the 64 bit options (for example, "Other Linux 2.6.x kernel 64-bit", since there are specific options for RHEL but not for Fedora), I get an error message the moment I try to power on the VM and start the install, saying "The buslogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit guests in this release [...]". Then the VM just shuts down.
I guess this laptop does have a SCSI bus, but my disks are IDE and as far as I can see (System Information) the SCSI bus is not used (?).
On the other hand, if the VM I create is any of the 32-bit option versions, I get what seems to be just a warning, saying that I'm running a 64-bit guest OS (Fedora 11) on a virtual machine configured to run a 32-bit OS, and suggesting I change this to ensure the 64-bit guest OS will function correctly. What would be the risks / downsides of forcing the install anyways?
I will also ask for help on the VMware side, too, and it's not my intention to turn this into a VMware discussion, but I'm just wondering if anybody on the forum has worked with this combination (VMware 6.5.2 and Fedora 11 running within it, preferrable on an HP Compaq 6125 running Windows 7 Ultimate) ? If so, I'd really appreciate some feedback / pointers.
I used to work a lot with Linux back in the days of RH5.2, and it's been a while, plus I'm new to the virtual machine world, so bear with me here.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI manged to have it working fine in Ubuntu 9.04 but the sound settings in gnome have changed too much and I can no longer reconfigure the sound system to work as before. For now I can only hear music through the internal speaker(s) while previously with 9.04 I was able to use the built-in audio jack and use my external speakers. What was even better was that I was able to toggle the between the built-in speakers and the external speakers by plugin/unplugin the speakers jack. Today all of this nice features are gone. What's the proper way for configuring sound with pulseaudio? Should I disable pulseaudio?

Installed r-EFIt and then ran disk utility created 3 partitions one for Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and two for Ubuntu 10.04 the windows install went smooth was able to boot into either OS without any problems then tried installing Ubuntu and then would get errors using the Live CD that I created I burned two additional disks at slower speeds then tried one of them in a another PC and it would work even ran it in live CD mode now have my taste buds wet want to use it on my Mac Book.
When I tried to install on the Mac Book it would fail with error no device found to install it would not even get to select the language with internal DVD drive so I hooked up a usb drive and would get up to step 4 to where you select the partition to install Ubuntu on this is where it gets to the problem it was blank no internal drive was able to get to Gparted in Live mode and same thing the hard drive would not show up.
I booted back into MAC OS X and ran disk utility it shows the partitions. A additional I tried the option to turn off ACPI before running installer still could not find the hard drive also downloaded a live gparted and same result could not see the HDD.
I just completed clean install of Ubuntu Linux 10.04 to run Nagios. I have Nagios up and running properly and monitoring my windows servers. I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find the answer to:
1. I cannot ping the Ubuntu VM from other machines on the same subnet. I can ping the Host system from other machines on the same subnet. I can also log on to the Ubuntu VM and ping all other machines on the local subnet. I can also ping the Ubuntu VM from the VMWare host system.
2. I have installed apache and the Nagios software is running correctly but I can't use a web browser to attach to the Nagios web page from other machines on my local subnet. I wonder is this is related to my inability to ping the Ubuntu Linux machine.
Some things I have tried:
1. Disable IPV6
2. Check to make sure firewall is turned off. I ran iptables -L and see no rules
I'm trying to access a VMware server via Lab Manager using Firefox 3.6.12 from Ubuntu 10.10. Lab Manager comes up but when I double click on a VM console to open it up I get: VMware Remote MKS Plugin not running. So, I install the plugin and restart Firefox, as directed. The plugin shows that VMware Remote MKS Plugin 2.2.0.0 is installed. I go back to Lab Manager and double click on it, but get the same message. Lab Manager does not find the plug in.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI presently have an Ubuntu server 64-bit running VMware Server 2.0 in a test lab. The server was created using the default partitioning method during the installation. So I have what I think is just one huge 300GB partition along with what I hear is a uselessly large swap partition.
I keep reading that theres an advantage to creating dedicated partitions, especially for the the VM datastore.
If the advantages are true then I would like to re-partition the drive.
What partitions should I define and how big should the be?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel supports four I/O schedulers:
- cfq (Completely Fair Queuing)
- deadline
- noop
- anticipatory
I read in documentation that the recommended kernel line settings for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 running as a VMware guest are:
divider=10 notsc iommu=soft elevator=noop
But for single instance databases with dedicated storage the deadline scheduler is recommended. The deadline scheduler reorders I/O to optimized disk heads movement and caps maximum latency per request to prevent resource starvation for I/O intensive processes. I have an Oracle instance on RHEL5 running as a VMware(ESX) guest with dedicated storage. What scheduler is better in my case?
I have a private server which I stream media from, but since I've installed VMware running Windows 7 and set up Windows to used a bridged connection, so I can access the network drives in Windows. Now that I have done that, I cannot connect to my home server unless I have VMware running.
I only want windows running when I need it, but I need access to my server at all times.
I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on a Dell Latitude E6500. VMware Workstation won't run if I have glibmm24-2.28.1-1.fc15.x86_64 installed. I managed to downgrade to glibmm24-2.24.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64, and VMWare Workstation worked. Then, I did a "yum upgrade". Now vmware won't run. I tried to downgrade glibmm back to the 24-2.24 version, but I get the message:

I want to run a mail server from within debian linux guest with vmware workstation xp host. The setup is a bridged network connection
Here are things that need to be done:
a)Configure the Guest with a static IP on my home network. Verify that I can telnet to port 25 of the Guest from a system on my home network.
b)Then configure my home firewall/NAT box to forward incoming connections on TCP port 25 to the static IP address I gave my Guest. Then test that I can telnet to port 25 from a system outside my home network.
c)After that I need to configure the appropriate DNS records for my domain so that outside hosts know how to contact my mailserver.
