Ubuntu / Apple :: Build 10.04 Desktop Running Through VMWare Fusion?
May 4, 2010
I'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.

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.

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 have an init script running as a special build user which performs an automated build that fails with (Too many open files).I updated /etc/security/limits to allow the special user more open files, but that didn't work - the init script still isn't allowed more open files.Here's a demonstration of the problem;
Code:
$ su - sbsbuild -c "ulimit -n"

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?

I have a problem with the VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735 on CentOS 5.3. When I start a VM then, after 10-20 minutes the machine and VMware Workstation freeze. The mysterious thing was, after the freeze a large of folders from my two partitons were lost. ( I have two partitons on a NVIDIA Raid,configured with dmraid.) But the partitons still here, I can see them and they are mounted. Its very mysterious.
I have installed the VM's to a folder on my raid. When I killed the processes and restart VMware Workstation I cant start a VM.
VMware says that CentOS 5.3 are supported for the VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735.

I have a fresh installation of Fedora14_x64 and after that I have updated the OS also.
Then I have installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.x86_64.
All the installation procedure has completed successfully without any error.
But when I am going to run VMWare It is throwing some error.
I am attaching all the needed screenshot and log file also.

Since new kernel 3.0 update I cannot rebuild vmware modules
Quote:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Unable to initialize kernel module configuration
how to do that. Where do I insert the "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" line.
Quote:
Same here. This seems to be due to the kernel version being "3.0" instead of "3.0.0". Recompiling the Kernel (and all modules based on it, e.g. nvidia) with
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".0-ARCH" allows me to compile the modules and run VMware.

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.

I recently installed VMware Player on my ASUS Eee PC 1015 which is running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. My goal is to run BT4 as a guest OS, but when I boot it from both the .iso and the .vmx I lose my mouse. After a quick Google serach I tried installing VMware Tools - no luck. I also tried using a USB mouse.

I 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 need a dev setup which is external to the box I work on at home. I.e. I need to build some form of PC capable of running basic dev tools / scm.Given its very basic needs, was thinking of finding a fanless, probably atom based, micro-itx solution. I.e. small, silent, can just sit somewhere all day with a nightly backup to a NAS. (it would be really cool then as well because I can throw it in a bag and take it places when I need to -- its wrong I get excited about that...).Just wandering if anyone has done anything similar?lightly worried about the performanceWas thinking something like the Shuttle XS35GT:but have a gut feeling I could build something better for 2/3's the price.
Friend suggested buying a simple netbook as its probably one of the cheaper ways to getting an atom powered system, and has a screen for setup. ll it needs to run is a web server, SVN/GIT, Trac, maven, hudson and artifactory. I.e. it does not need to be capable of streaming video content etc (i.e. its not a media box) for 1 user at a time. Projects are not going to be the smallest for home projects, but really in the grand scheme of things its going to be small.

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:
Code:

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.

Quote:
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
Then I hit enter, and later get this message

Unable to build the vmmon module.
I have installed gcc and the kernel-devel tools, and after installing all that I did an update, but still not getting through with the configuration.
