Jul 17, 2011I 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 I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.

General :: VMware Snapshot With VMware Tools Loses Network On Restart - Host XP - Guest Fedora
Oct 3, 2010I 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, 2009I 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
Security :: Detect Viruses Inside The .vmdk - VMware - Virtual MAchine Disk Format - Image?
Feb 6, 2011I have set up a virtual machine under VMware Player 3.1.2 in Debian. Operating system of this virtual machine is a Windows Server 2003. I would like to periodically test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses. Obvious solution would be to install an AV software under this Windows Server 2003 installation. However, I was wondering, is this possible to use NOD32 for Linux or clamav in order to test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses? Is NOD32 for Linux able to detect viruses inside the .vmdk file?

It shouldn't be this difficult. BTW,

View 3 Replies View RelatedFedora :: 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, 2010I'm trying to install the vmware tools in Fedora 13. I've run the following commands as root:

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..

Oct 1, 2010I got my parts and am looking to build it tomorrow, however I don't have an OS with me to test it. This is mostly for college, multimedia stuff, so I'm obviously going need Windows on it. I'm leaning towards Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, I used that back when it was trendy and found it pretty good, but I hear Debians the same but better.
I want to get Linux on it at some stage - is it easy to install Linux on the machine first then windows, or do I have to do it the other way around? I've never installed Linux FIRST. I want to assign a particularly partition to it and keep the free space for when I install Windoze on it.
How big is the basic Debian install and where's the best place to download it? I have a shitty connection here so I can't really download a DVD image.

Sep 30, 2010Recently I've been struggling with an upgrade to Karmic Koala (see my Cannot Boot from Hard Disk) from Jaunty Jackalope. Despite a valiant effort to find and install grub2 I've decided instead to download and install Lucid Linx. However when I visit the download site on ubuntu.com it gives no options as to where I might save it. Since I'm currently running Karmic from a LiveCD the filesystem doesn't have enough room for the 700mg .iso, although I have plenty of room on the 40 gig HDD. How do I point the download towards my hdd rather than the LiveCD filesystem?

CentOS 5 :: Vmware-tools Saying Kernel Headers Don't Match / Why Is So?
Jul 4, 20102.6.18-194.8.1.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.

Nov 22, 2014I've been trying to load Debian with no success. Let me describe the issue:
1. I downloaded the iso image from the Debian pages. The md5sums match.
2. I changed the boot priority so the CDROM is accessed first.
3. Performed a cold boot and see a black screen that says Checking media [Fail]. I see this three times (HD is 4th on priority list) and then Mint loads.
Here is the odd part:
4. I can successfully load Arch from the cd/dvd drive.
5. I can also load Mint form the cd/dvd drive.
6. Cannot load Crunchbang from cd/dvd drive - same as when I try Debian.
I don't know how to proceed from here. I did erase my log files and performed another cold boot with Debian in hopes I might find some sort of error in them, but I really don't know what I am looking for. I saved the log files ....

I tried to insert in lilo.conf file the line "initrd=/deb5/initrd.img", but it doesn't work. I tried also to create from the installation cd an initramfs file and to make the link "/deb5/initrd.img" point to it.I've used the "lilo -v" command from slackware, so in / was /dev/sda1 with slackware 13 and in /deb5 was mounted /dev/sda2 with debian 5.
