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
Hey all, I just installed BT 5R2 64bit as a VM on a ProLiant server and I was wondering if I need to install VMware tools. I don't see any stability problems and I don't have a problem moving my cursor from the console to my workstation's desktop. So, unless there's a compelling reason I'm unaware of I'm going to pass on installing VMware tools.
Thanks,
Joe B
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.
Note:
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 7600 on my HP500 Laptop, but I want to try other linux distro such as Debian. I have installed Debian 5.0.3 with VMware Workstation 7.0.1 on my machine instead of really installed it.
Details is as follows:
1.Download vmware 7.0.1 and Debian Lenny 5.0.3 seperately.
2.Host Win 7 Ultimate 7600:
This is a server that is running on vmware:
SERVER:/root # cat /etc/SuSE\-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SERVER:/root # rpm -qa|grep -i vmware
vmware-open-vm-tools-common-8.0.3-258828.sles11sp1
vmware-open-vm-tools-nox-8.0.3-258828.sles11sp1
vmware-tools-nox-8.0.3-258828.sl
I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04 inside VMWare workstation 8. Once installing the tools started, it got stuck with a message saying:
Installing VMware Tools. Please Wait...
How do I get it to boot? I have left it sitting for at least half an hour before restarting it.
I downloaded Fedora 16 at http://www.trendsigma.net/vmware/fedora16.html. Im having a problem installing VMware tools. The note printed by VMware says Make sure that you are logged in to the guest operating system. Mount the virtual CD drive in the guest, launch a Terminal, and use tar or rpm to uncompress the installer.
I've got an F18 VM running on VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 and it has been fine until today. Today's update of the kernel to 3.9.2-200 kernel breaks the VMWare Tools. In particular, the host-guest-filesystem (vmhgfs) doesn't work.
I reverted the VM, and then did a yum update on everything _except_ the kernel, and the vmware tools are still happy.
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?
