Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.04 Through VMware Player 3.0 From 9.1

May 1, 2010

I had installed Karmik Koala on VMware� Player 3.0.1 build-227600 and it ran perfectly well for four months. Today I upgraded to Lucid Lynx (lts) from within the VMware Player. The virtual machine restarted after the installation, now I can't direct my keyboard input to log in to my Ubuntu account. The mouse works but not the keyboard. How do I resolve this mess?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.10 And VMware Wrokstation Stopped Working

Oct 11, 2010

What do I do to fix my VMware Workstation after I upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 t0 10.10. It said that I needed to compile and reinstall a few modules in to the running kernel. Than it fails to do it and tells me to look in the file from which the output is: $ sudo cat /tmp/vmware-root/setup-6801.log Oct 10 21:51:33.262: app-140341270488832| Log for VMware Workstation pid=6801 version=7.1.0 build=build-261024 option=Release Oct 10 21:51:33.262: app-140341270488832| The process is 64-bit.

Ubuntu Installation :: VMWare Player Disappeared In 10.04 64 Bit?

Jul 23, 2010

I installed VMWare Player 3.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and had the program show up in the applications menu. I opened and ran a prebuilt virtual machine without any problem. After shutting down the system, the next morning Player is gone, if I try to reinstall it shows that it is already installed, and if I try to open the virtual hard drive, it says that no applications is associated with that file type. There is no Player in the list of applications.

Debian :: VMware Player Installation

Oct 31, 2015

I tried to get vmware player 7.6 to work after upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie. I downloaded kernal headers 3.16.0-4-amd 64 as the dialog box said to do. After doing that and attempting to install I got this message “C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.” At this point I wondered if it would be better to try a more recent version of Vmware player. So I downloaded Vmware Player 12.01. I could not get it to open.

Installation :: VMware Player Not Compling Kernel On Ubuntu 10.10 / Solve This?

Oct 11, 2010

I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.010 - Maverick Meerkat.

Launching VMWare Player 3.1.2 I get the message: "Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into running kernel".
I click ok, but there are problems recompiling VMCI sockets.
The effect is that my windows image starts, but then crashes.

Do you have some suggestions to solve the problem ? Or is it only a problem of compilation with the new 10.10 kernel, not yet available for VMWare?

Ubuntu Installation :: VMware Player - Kernel Panic - Not Syncing - VFS - Unable To Mount Root

May 5, 2010

I recently started to use Ubuntu in VWware player on my windows-XP. I installed ubuntu 10.04 few days ago, It was working fine.

Yesterday, I compile a new kernel, kernel 2.6.33 in my vmware ubuntu 10.04. Everything went well till I did reboot. before reboot I use the command "update-grub" to make it compatible to the new kernel. BUT... after rebooting, I have a problem in loading a grub correctly. it gives me following message " [2.149136 ]kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" and I can not proceed further. I have my all data on it. I also tried to boot it from live CD but unfortunately, I can't mount the hard disk on it in order to get those data from my old Ubuntu set up.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 LTS X64 In VMWare Player No Desktop Effects?

Oct 8, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 in VMWare Player on my Windows 7 x64. My host video card is an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5730 with 1 GB DDR3 and I am very sure that my other specs are above par for desktop effects (i7-820QM, 8 GB DDR3 RAM). However, even though I enabled 3D acceleration for the Ubuntu virtual machine (along with 4 cores and 1 GB RAM), I can't enable desktop effects. I have successfully installed VMWare Tools. I used to use VirtualBox and with x86 Ubuntu desktop effects work.

Ubuntu :: VMware Player Missing Menubar?

Nov 24, 2010

I installed VMware Player on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine, which uses Macbuntu skin. Loaded Vista on VMware Player so I could sync my ipod... works great. One problem I want to use VMware Player's unity mode but there is no menu to select it. From all of the screen shots I have seen on the web there is suppose to be a menu bar selection at the top next to the ubuntu (apple in my case) symbol to select unity mode through... but it is no where to be found. Here is a screen shot with VMware loaded with Vista, VMware is the active window:

OpenSUSE :: How To Get Vmware Player

Jun 25, 2011

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.

General :: XP Crashing In VMware Player With Ubuntu As Physical OS / Fix It?

Nov 16, 2010

it?I have Ubuntu 10.10 (and Ubuntu Server) on a factory Dell Inspiron 530. It's running an Intel Pentium Duo Core CPU (1.6GHz), has 1GB RAM, and VMware Player installed. When I boot XP SP3, it runs, but randomly crashes. I managed to update IE6 to IE8 without crashing, but when I tried to download MS Office 2010 Professional (Trial), it crashed near the end of the download. I got a blue screen with the following:

"STOP: 0x0000000A, 0xB2EEf304, 0x00000002, 0x80508008

It then begins a physical dump of memory, completes, then automatically reboots XP in the virtual machine.

Every time it does this, it shows different memory addresses.

BTW, I also watched performance while doing this. As soon as CPU hit 100%, the download crashed, and soon after, XP crashed, sometimes locking up the physical machine.

Software :: Using VMware Player Without Its GUI Interface

Jun 16, 2011

I have a Linux guest OS in VMware player installed on my Linux host OS. I'm using the guest OS as a server that my host OS workstation will connect to for certain things. However, I want to run VMware player (and the guest OS it runs) headless - i.e. without its interface opening up. This is because I any commands I need to send to the server I do so using my host OS terminal, with commands such as ssh. I tried running 'vmplayer /path/to/guest-os.vmx', but that just triggers opening up the VMware player interface, which isn't what I want.

How could I make this work? Is there either a VMware-specific way, or maybe a Linux-specific way involving suppressing the interface or doing some other Linux magic related to GNOME or X or something? I've read somewhere this might be possible using VMware Server - is that true? In that case, is it actually not possible to do it in VMware Player? I hope it is possible because I really like the performance and simplicity of VMware Player and would prefer not to move to VMware Server.

Ubuntu :: VMware Player Stops Screensaver/lock Engaging?

May 9, 2011

I don't know if anyone else sees this, but I get some odd behaviour when using VMware Player sometimes (Ubuntu 10.10, VMware Player 3.1.2 build-301548, dual monitors).My screen locks after 5 minutes of inactivity. I run a Windows XP VM under VMware player occasionally for certain things and that has a screen-lock time of 15 minutes or so. When running the Windows VM in full-screen on one of my two monitors (not tried it on a lower res), if I place the mouse cursor on the XP VM screen and leave it for > 5 minutes, the screen does not appear to lock. I can come back to the machine and still interact with the Windows XP machine and do what I like. If I move the mouse cursor outside the bounds of the XP VM screen, then the whole screen goes black and presents me with the password prompt to unlock the machine

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Run VMware Workstation Player

Nov 8, 2015

I keep installing Debian Workstation Player on Debian, but it just doesn't open. I think it might have something to do with the VMware kernel modules not being built or something. How can I start troubleshooting this? Also, why isn't VMware packaged? Has no one tried packaging it yet, or is there a more complex reason?

Hardware :: NVidia-config Vs VMWare Player

Jun 3, 2010

As this seems to be an issue with a hardware driver I am posting it under hardware.

Dell Studio XPS 8000 desktop
i7-860 CPU
8 GB RAM
swap area set to 9 GB
nVIdia GeForce GT220 1 GB
Samsung SymcMaster 932 and Acer X223w displays
Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, all patches, nVidia-current 195.36.15
VMWare Player (64 bit) 3.1.0 build-261024

The whole nVidia thing has been busting my buttons since I installed 10.04 (actually 9.10 was in some ways worse). Occasional "low graphics mode" at boot and the fact that nvidia-settings makes inexplicable changes to the xorg.conf even when I make no changes to the configuration as shown in the program. After a number of uninstall, reinstall drills and a few kicks in the slats the machine is working reasonably well except as noted above.

However, I have noticed that I often cannot load the nvidia-settings program. If I launch it from the menu, nothing seems to happen. In a terminal I get

Quote:

After doing some research on "Segmentation fault" I find that most of the issues refer to the xorg.conf file. The posts I have seen are also quite old. So I did a little testing.

Immediately after booting the PC I can run nvidia-settings with no problem - from the menu or in a terminal. I can run it repeatedly.

BUT - after I launch a virtual machine in VMWare Player (it does not seem to matter what the guest OS is) I can no longer run nvidia-settings. I get the error as I quoted above. If nvidia-settings is already running when the VM is launched, nvidia-settings continues to function until I exit the program. I can then no longer start nvidia-settings.

The problem only occurs after the VM is launched, not simply by running VMWare Player. Shutting down the VM does not fix the problem. Only a reboot will do the trick.

Fedora :: VMware Player Not Compling Kernel Modules / Fix It?

Aug 4, 2011

System. fedora 15, fully updated Kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.X86_64
64 bit. Gnome 3

The other day I installed VMware Player on the system when the Kernel was 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64. On running VMware player after installing the kernel-headers and gcc files the program ran fine (I did not try to install the VMware Tools). I also have not loaded the guess OS as yet.

toady I did and update in which the kernel was updated. I checked to ensure the Kernel-headers were also updated for the latest kernel.

After rebooting the machine the running kernel was then 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64. I then tried to start VMware Player. It indicated because the kernel was changed it needed to install new kernel modules, OK, It open the module screen and then crashed.

The log says it can not compile Vmmon which is the first module. it does not go any further.

Tried to installed a new copy of VMware Player over the old one but this only resulted in the same error messages.

Any ideas on how to fix this.
