my problem is with Vmware Workstation after upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Vmware dissapears when i do anything in it. I have posted a video for those who want to see the problem in action and i have a syncmaster t240HD as my monitor but Ubuntu says its an Unknown Monitor.

Update: Catalyst Control Center reports my monitor and the settings correctly.
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 I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.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 tested 11.04 beta 1 on one of my computers and was happy to see VmWare workstation 7.1.4 to work fine on it. Then I decided to upgrade my most frequently used computer to 11.04 beta 2, but I can't get VMware to work properly. When I click on some of the function button such as start a VM or maybe change a setting VMware just closes. I can't figure it out, I've tried it with Unity, Gnome with effects, Gnome without. Nouveau driver, Distro nVidia driver, downloaded nVidia driver, and VGA driver. It was nothing to do with Video driver, but that is about the only hardware difference with the other machine that works, it has Intel Video.

I had a good copy of ubuntu on a disk but i lost it in the move, lately i decided that i wanted 2 OS's on 1 machine windows vista/Ubuntu x32. I've already got VMware workstation 7, now the great feat i'm trying to accomplish is getting this .iso of Ubuntu into my VM machine, I've got Daemon tools lite and magic-iso and magic disk. But i'm not too sure which 1 to use.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to install VMware workstation 7.1.4- but I've run into a problem. Due some bugs i've had to install vmware a couple of times. Now one time I removed /etc/vmware before uninstalling it. This might be stupid but after I've done this vmware wouldn't uninstall anymore. It would say that there where instances of vmware running though I've never even been at the point that I ran vmware. The installer would say that vmware was already installed so it wouldn't install either. Now I've removed as much vmware files as I could find. But now if I run
Code:
sudo sh vmware-workstation-full-7.1.4-385536.i386.bundle
It wil say
Quote:
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
And then nothing. It will just silently quit. It doesn't give an error, it doesn't start the installer GUI, it will just quit. Now I suspect there are vmware files somewhere that confuse the installer but I've no idea if this is true or where these files are. how to completly wipe any vmware-workstation file from my computer as if vmware was never installed?
EDIT: if I run sh vmware-workstation-full-7.1.4-385536.i386.bundle -r, it will show the installer again but show that vmware is already installed
I'm having an issue with Vmvware workstation on Ubuntu 11.04. Well, I had many issues, but most of them have workarounds. I can't find any info on this issue. When I have multiple displays enabled (nvidia prop) and launch workstation 7.1.4, my second monitor will become disabled. The unity menu will also stretch out and basically the computer becomes unusable. I have to restart.

I have installed VMware Workstation 6.0.5 on OpenSUSE 11.3. When I run the vmware-config.p, I get the following prompts.

"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.5". This configuration is not recommended and VMware
Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several questions regarding installation of Ubuntu 9.10 on top of VMWare Workstation:
1) can the Ubuntu .iso be on a memory stick, or does it need to be burned to a CD, for installation on top of VMWare ??
2) VMWare workstation sits on top of Windows 7, 64 bit. Am I best off with 64 bit Ubuntu or will the 32 bit install suffice ? I am not doing anything performance heavy with Ubuntu, I am just playing with it to become more familar. I've heard such great things.
I have a machine with Ubuntu Server and VMware Workstation 7 installed. I have tried NAT port forwarding to gain Remote Desktop access to a Windows virtual machine, but it did not work for whatever reason. I've done this by editing the nat.conf file in the /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat directory. Unfortunately it still does not work. Also, I would like to ask if it is possible to port forward using the virtual machine itself and not the host.

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?

I have a Windows 7 OS running VMWare workstation and have used a 11.2 OpenSusie distro to install OPenSusie in one of the VMWare environments. Looking in file manager I see all the 'usual' folders, but the CD-Rom is 'pointing' to the iso mounted CD - ie the virtual one. How do I open/mount the real CD/DVD and also how do I access the files in Win7.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Fedora Core 12 quad-core Linux box. However, when I run VMWare Workstation (running a single virtual XP box, running nothing) it slows to a crawl. The load average jumps from 0.11 to 4 or even 7 when I am using the virtual box. The mouse stops responding within the virtual box, and even on Fedora itself when the load average gets high enough. I can't get any work done and I can't get into "the zone".

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.

How to do Step by Step to connect the network using VMware WorkStation!
I just upgraded to VMWare workstation 7. I was previously running v.6, and an older linux version, and everything was working fine. I moved over the same VM files to the new computer, and it doesn't find the ethernet connection. When I start up the virtual machine, I get an error message:
Could not connect Ethernet0 to virtual network "/dev/vmnet8". More information can be found in the vmware.log file.
There log file doesn't say much more:
Jan 07 17:31:36.928: vcpu-0| VNET: MACVNetPortOpenDevice: Ethernet0: can't open vmnet device (No such device or address)
Jan 07 17:31:36.928: vcpu-0| VNET: MACVNetPort_Connect: Ethernet0: can't open data fd
[code]....
Once xp has booted, I get the "new hardware" wizard, saying that it found an ethernet adapter. However, it can't find any driver for it. I think this dialog started appearing after I added a new virtual network entry using the "Virtual Network Editor". Originally I didn't even have a /dev/vmnet8 file. Now I do.
i installed linux kernel 2.6.35.2 and now vmware wont run been searching for a few hours for a "fix" found a few files but they don't seem to work here's log from vmware updater.

I tried installing the patch for kernal 2.6.38-8 found here - [URL] - but it did not resolve the issue. Is there a patch for kernal 2.6.38-10?
I also found this posting for the same problem: [URL]. I followed the following instructions as advised in the post . . .
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install gcc
Then enter:
uname -r
My kernel was: 2.6.38-10-generic
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic
Now run the vmware-install.pl script.
Everything ran without error. However, I continue to get the same error. Another post suggested uninstalliung and reinstalling the software, but this had no affect either. Another post suggested that after running the above update to them run the /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl script. However I do not seem to have the vmware-config.pl in my /usr/bin directory. I checked the various VMWARE directories in /etc and the /tmp/vmware-root directories but no vmware-config.pl
Im using fedora 13 x64 install from DVD. Has anyone else found problems using vmware 7.0.1 or 7.1. My bridged networking will not pickup a dhcp address, and even if I configure static my network will still not work, yet NAT works fine. Even configuring bridged to use a dedicated device doesnt work. Workstation worked fine on Fedora 12 but this seems to be a reoccuring problem in every other release.
