Arrow in VMware Server Console 1.08 - problem keys Linux 1.09

Hello

After an upgrade sometimes ago, I found a strange behaviour on VMware Server Console 1.0.8. I tested VMware Server Console 1.0.9 and it behaves the same way.

The problem is: arrows do not function correctly, and the 'Alt Gr' key does not work as expected (by pressing "Alt Gr" + a key provides as it is pressed without "Alt Gr". Sometimes "Alt Gr" beahaves like 'Enter')

The behavior is always reproducible on all tested computers with VMware Server Console 1.08 - 1.09 on Linux and all tested clients.

Platform customer information:

VMware Server Console 1.0.8 build-126538 and 1.0.9 build-156507, openSUSE 11.1, Linux 2.6.27.23 - 0.1 - #1 SMP, KDE3 and KDE4 default

Server:

VMware-server - 1.0.6 - 91891, openSUSE 11.0, Linux 2.6.25.20 - 0.1 - pae #1 SMP

Guests:

Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, Linux OpenSuSE 11.0 & 11.1

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

The problem is on the server. On the host that edit you/etc/vmware/config

I had the same problem with a linux host. Here, you will need to edit this file and Add following lines in/etc/vmware/config

xkeymap.keycode.108 = 312 # Alt_R

xkeymap.keycode.106 = 309 # KP_Divide

xkeymap.keycode.104 = 284 # KP_Enter

xkeymap.keycode.111 = # 328 Up

xkeymap.keycode.116 = # 336 down

xkeymap.keycode.113 = # 331 left

xkeymap.keycode.114 = # 333 right

xkeymap.keycode.105 = 285 # Control_R

xkeymap.keycode.118 = # 338 Insert

xkeymap.keycode.119 = # 339 Delete

xkeymap.keycode.110 = # 327 home

xkeymap.keycode.115 = 335 # end

xkeymap.keycode.112 = # 329 front

xkeymap.keycode.117 = # 337 then

xkeymap.keycode.78 = 70 # Scroll_Lock

xkeymap.keycode.127 = 256 # break

347 = xkeymap.keycode.133 # Meta_L

xkeymap.keycode.134 = # 348 Meta_R

xkeymap.keycode.135 = 349 # Menu

.. then all the keys will function correctly on the comments.

Look at my blog: http://johannwein.wordpress.com/

PS: in my case - I on localhost - server - and client...

Another thing is: given that the upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 - VMware Server Console 1.09 does not set up. You have a lot of mistakes by vmware - config.pl

But it's another question good luck!

  • VMware server Console Black

    Hello

    When I open a (Windows 2003 32-bit) VMware Server console I get the attached black console.

    When I make RDP to this server also I get the same console. I changed the display of color options, and even in this case, I get the same screen.

    This virtual server is hosted on ESX 3.5i and I migrated to anotehr ESX host, but the problem remains the same.

    No idea how to solve this problem?

    See the blog below.  We have came across this the other day because a customer's lack of space on the C: drive.  However, change registry entries remotely did not work.  I think somehow, by pressing a key combination when you use the VMware Console and a user who had never logged, we got the loading screen.  I think it is or .  But whatever it is, you have to check the registry database for colors.

  • 64-bit applications do not convert to VMware Server Console of ESX3i

    Hello

    Because of performance problems, we try to convert a machine Console VMware Server 1.0.4 for VMware ESX Server 3i, using VMware converter standalone client 4.0.1 vcentre but it is a failure with the answer "the destination can't stand not 64-bit clients.

    We believe that ESX3i supports 64-bit machines - there is an option to create one, if we were to start from scratch.

    We also tried to import directly via the "Import a virtual appliance" option on the 3i server itself, but he expects a file ovf rather than an egg file, and so we get an exception "system out of memory.

    Can anyone recommend the best method of conversion of a 64-bit computer?

    Thank you

  • Generate url for virtual machine installed on vmware server console programmatically

    Hello

    I want to generate URLs for machine vmware console located on vmware server. Are there examples of available in c# code? Any help will be really good.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    There are already several posts/Articles on this subject. What works for ESX should work for VMware Server. The misfortune is that it should be avoided for several reasons:

    (1) there are only a limited number of "consoles" allowed for a given server of VMware

    (2) RDP/VNC is a tool much better for this as there are no such limits

    (3) the security of this method is somewhat limited

    (4) more than one user can access the same VM without protection of the user (essentially a struggle for control)

    So in general, it is best to RDP/VNC in the virtual machine is to use the console.

  • Cannot add existing VM to VMware Server 2.0.2 on Debian Linux

    It is apparently a fairly general failure, and I don't know where to start to look at to diagnose.  I hope that I just have something wrong set somewhere.

    I try to add an existing virtual machine in Windows 7 (created on VMware Fusion 2.x, then migrated to Fusion 3.0) to my new dedicated VMware Server 2 fancy box.  I copied the entire VM directory structure (in a toplevel .vmware directory) to the same subdirectory where the other virtual machines on VMware Server 2 box.  I click on the link 'Add Virtual Machine inventory' and go to the virtual machine and click the .vmx file.  Then, I get this error:

    The server could not complete a request (HTTP 0 ).
    The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. If this problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
    

    When I clicked OK, I find that the webservice of VMware seems to be declining.  I get no response from the port 8222 or 8333.  I'm not very familiar with command line tools, so the only way I know to get back on the administration interface is to restart VMware itself.

    I am running VMware Server 2.0.2 - 203138, x86_64 rely on an Intel Xeon chip with four cores.  The host operating system is Debian 5.0.3 ("Lenny"), amd64 build.

    In the subdirectory of/var/log/vmware, I find a lot of posts like the

    can't wait any longer...

    make a backup of the "Windows 7.vmdk".

    Open "Windows 7.vmdk" in a text editor

    look out for the T "he database disk" article and delete all entries is not not in the excerpt here

    ...
    # The Disk Data Base
    #DDB
    ddb.virtualHWVersion
    ddb.geometry.cylinders
    ddb.geometry.heads
    ddb.geometry.sectors
    ddb.adapterType
    

    that should solve the problem "is not a virtual disk.

    There are seversl messages on installation of VMware server on Windows 7 problems.

    I would like to get a definitive answer about agglomerates Windows Server is compatible with a Windows 7 host computer.

    Thank you

    Hello

    certainly the Windows 7 operating system is not supported by vmware server 2. So many questions can happens.

    I recommend you use other vmware products that support Windows 7 as for example 7.01 Workstation or player 3.01. You can also take a look at the (free) esxi 4.0 U1.

    In addition, vmware will drop any kind of support for vmware server 2 in 06/2011.

  • Are there known problems of VMware Server transition to the Workstaton

    Hello

    As VMware Server end of support announced ( http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html) I was looking at transition to VMware Server 2 of VMware WorkStation. I have a Red Hat Linux host machine that has a VMware Server running on it with a single virtual machine. I was hoping to find out what are the problems might face to make the transition from one environment to another.

    I am aware that the server and the workstation cannot co exist on the same system, so basically I need to uninstall the server and install the work station. I am also aware that virtual machines are generally compatible between the two products. I also read on the comparison between products. ( http://vmfaq.com/entry/5/ )

    Are there other traps?

    Thank you

    Varun

    Hello

    You can download the VIX API (it contains the text console vmrun command - he didn't need a desktop case to run) from here.

    If you install the VIX API in a remote machine (not here where the workstation it is installed), you will be able to administer the computer zone in a passing distance.

    Of course, you can do the same thing on the workstation itself locally, using vmrun/vix it is included with workstation.

    Here you will find a tutorial on using vmrun to administer the virtual machine.

    Hope this helps

  • No web console with the version of VMware Server is a core 2.0.1 and 2.6.31 - 10-generic in Karmic AMD64

    Hello

    I've successfully used vmware - server.2.0.1_x64 - modules - 2.6.30.4 - fix.patch to build modules on my laptop running Ubuntu Karmic Koala. VMware Server version is VMware server 2.0.1 - 2.0.1 - 156745.x86_64.tar.gz, and I'm running it with kernel 2.6.31 - 10-generic. The question I have is that while the web console seems to be running on port 8333, I can't get an answer from him. Has anyone else encountered this problem? See you soon.

    OK, I got it to work. Try this in a terminal and let me know if it works for you too:

  • Where have the VMWare Server "client / console ' downloads went?

    either he had formerly downloads as "VMware-console - 1.0.6 - 91891.exe" who were just the client end.

    Such as those mentioned in the: http://pubs.vmware.com/server1/admin/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=admin & file = manage_server.5.6.html

    I can't find a download like this for 1.0.8 and I think I'm having a problem of compatibility with 1.0.6.

    I don't really need to install the whole invasive Server installation just to get the client for my office.

    Any ideas?

    Maybe he underwent a change of name? But I'm not in the lists mentioned in the 'names have changed.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Feeling a little down on our first foray in VMware at this point...

    I feel like VMware dropped us in a dead-end street with the strategy that we are...

    Same place, that downloads have always been.

    Go to the download page for the server.  Click the link to download under Server version 1.0.8.  Accept the EULA.  On the download page, there is a link for the Client Windows VMware Server package.

  • Vmware server 2.0 problem bridge host Ubuntu Windows xp reviews

    Hello

    I have a problem of bridge on my ubuntu with Vmware server 2.0.

    The guest is using windows xp with the flexible adapter.

    The network of the client works ok, but when I try to access a Web server in the comments, it cannot connect.

    Every incoming request is denied.

    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    First install the VMware tools inside the prompt and change "vlance' to 'vmxnet. Otherwise, you have only 10 Mbit/s.

    Make sure you use truly fulfilled andf not NAT. When you use NAT the guest can go outside, but it is not accessible from outside (if you had posted "ifconfig" and "ipconfig" I could tell you directly).

    Looks like there is still a firewall somewhere between the two. What oyu protection virzus use? Some of them, like TrendMicro, have their own firewall.

    The host cannot ping the prompt?
