FC 11 under VMware Workstation

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have used Fedora 9 and 10 very nicely under VMware Workstation running on my Vista laptop. FC 11 installs just fine. The VMware Tools install into FC 11 without error. You just cannot configure them, since the kernel is so new. The config-vmware-tools.pl script fails. I have found the instructions on how to modify FC11 to install VMware Workstation and run the newest kernel. That is not my problem. Has anyone run FC11 within VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and been able to configure the VMware Tools within FC11? if so, I would really appreciate any directions. Howard (HowTos)

Stories similar to FC 11 under VMware Workstation

I am having trouble running VMware Workstation 9 on Ubuntu 12.10.

After successfully installing it, at run time, the following error appears:

The VMware Tools kernel modules could not be automatically rebuilt. Please manually run: vmware-config-tools.pl --modules-only To rebuild them.

In an attempt to fix this problem, I am getting the following extra errors:

sudo sh /usr/bin/vmware-config-too

VMWare Installation Problem 2 years 43 weeks ago

I have installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit and want to install VMWare workstation 7.1.

I have run the install script for VMWare without any issues.

When I start the VMWare Workstation I get a window saying this:

Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 2.6.34-12-desktop

I had troubles installing VMware Tools 9 (VMware workstation) on Fedora 18.

The VMware tools installer was complaining that the kernel-headers path was "", and I could not continue.

First download the VMware Workstation 7 for your architecture here:

https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/p/d...rkstation&lp=1

I downloaded: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle md5sum: a4286d08c2b302f1d3a164dcdc36c884

I installed VMware Desktop 9, first as an update to VMware Workstation 8.03, and everything went smooth the installer told me that VM Workstation 8 would be uninstalled and VM Workstation 9 installed...

I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on vmware workstation 8.0.4. I am trying to install vmware tools, but I got stuck on this step:

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder feature.

KVM vs. VMware 3 years 28 weeks ago

Ok, I have some questions like in my other thread about vmware server vs. vmware workstation.

This one is how does KVM compare to vmware. I've been reading how Red Hat has been embracing/using KVM so how is KVM compared to vmware.

Does KVM have the same performance as vmware, or better? USB support, any issues with it like VirtualBox?

GUYs I have downloaded the 32bit GNOME Torrent , Hashs ran perfectly fine. Now when I tried to power on the VM image on my VMWare Worstation 7.0.0.

Hi there,I've installed Arch Linux as a guest, and have followed the guide pretty well. I however came across a problem where I'm not able to start Unity even though I've successfully installed open-vm-tools and modules. It tells me that vmware tools isn't installed and that it can't change the resolution.
