Cannot use mouse on Ubuntu hosted on vmware Fusion on a mac

Hello world

I'm running into a problem that I can't seem to understand-

I can't get the mouse running x on Ubuntu hosted on a mac. I keep seeing these errors in the console:

[85.137467] init: before the start of plymouth-stop status 1 last updated (1769)

[94.768947] psmouse serio1: vmmouse: impossible to extract the data of State

[94.838594] psmouse serio1: show reconnect request

and I can't tell if it's a configuration issue with vmware or a configuration problem in Ubuntu (or more likely, both).

The mouse worked - but when I installed a window manager and improved, it seems to stop working.

Any suggestions or points on how solve/debugging/troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

I googled around and installed xserver-synaptic modules and tried different 50 - synaptics.conf file.

I found this thread and it helped: cannot use the mouse in the Ubuntu VM

However, the solution for me was the opposite. I needed to activate "Auto-detect of mouse for games.

  • Cannot find the Windows 7 Desktop in VMWare Fusion

    Hi all

    I installed VMWare Fusion on my mac.  Works very well.  However, I can't find my windows desktop.  The only thing I can find is Internet Explorer.  I know when I installed it, I clicked on something after the small bar at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what.  Now, in VMWare fusion window, under Windows7, it shows only a gray screen with an icon of recycle bin on it.

    Any thoughts?

    Looks like you spent at the sight of the unit.

    Just move your mouse up to the center of the screen and should display the VMware Menu and then click on the view menu and select full screen or single window or you can open the menu either VMware Fusion application on OS X, Windows applications menu bar or Dock VMware Fusion tile with a ctrl-click.

  • Download VM to ESXi using VMware Fusion Pro for Mac

    I am new to this game and to this community so forgive me if I missed a few points of etiquette. (I'll probably go to VMware support with that in a few days)

    So I have ESXi running on my Mac Mini. Nice. I get the https:// 'Home Page' and I can browse the unused data center. So I upgraded to Fusion 7 Pro to manage and download the VMs of my Mac - but no luck with downloading at all.

    First attempt, he lamented the "hardware version", I had updated to 11.

    So I tried another again just on v10 and all I got was an indeterminate progress bar and then ' closely linked server after 0 bytes of response read"(see attached screenshot)

    Have I missed an obvious step, or is there a problem with this Mini. (He has been on the shelf for centuries with a note on the SSD inside do not start OSX correctly, that's why I thought it would be a good candidate for the installation of the trial ESXi)

    Bravo for any help/pointers for a noob

    I think that the local SSD storage must simply have been duff. I wiped another mini and it seems ok download. (If I had not missed a step. Go, me!)

  • Cannot run VMWare Fusion on Mac 10.9.4 6.4

    I use Fusion for some time on my Mac (Mavericks 10.9.4). Recently, when I went to launch Fusion 6.4, I received this message:

    Cannot run VMWare Fusion

    VMware Fusion is damaged and cannot be repaired. Please move the VMWare Fusion application to the trash and reinstall VMWare Fusion

    So, I removed the merger application and downloaded again. When I installed it, I got the same message. Well, I thought that this must be one of these 'hidden' files, see you must be corrupt, so I used App Zapper to get rid of the merger and all files related; emptied the Recycle Bin, so merger was gone, gone, gone. Uploaded a new image, the same thing!  No matter what I do, I can't use Fusion. Suggestions?

    Do not use Zapper App - merger, running specific uninstall scripts.

    I've seen that occur when get-Gatekeeper confused about how something has been installed, when permissions are confused, or when a hard drive is running out.  If you have VMWare Fusion and have installed and it run under an administrator account (default in OS x unless you change it), then first use disk utility to first 'check disk' (if you want something better, look for smart voltains software utility), then repair permissions.  If this does not work, try to right click on the merger in the applications folder, and choose open.

  • VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

    At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

    1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
    2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
    3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
    4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

    I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

    1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
    3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
    4. Restart comments

    A few quick thoughts:

    1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

    2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

    See you soon,.

  • Activate Wifi on Windows in VMWare Fusion on Mac

    I want to activate the Wifi in the operating system Windows 8 on Mac OS X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) in VMWare Fusion 5 to support the test and development of software, that I write that evaluates the available Windows Wifi access points.

    I know how to activate the Windows Zero Configuration Service (ZCS) via sc config or services.msc , but the Wifi is not a type of connection available.

    I tried to run VMWare Fusion with various 'Network Adapter Settings', including:

    • Share with my Mac
    • NAT
    • Bridged (automatic detection)
    • Bridged (Wifi)

    Windows 8, regardless of what I do, tells me that there is no wireless network adapters.

    How do I enable Wifi in Windows 8 in VMWare Fusion on a Mac so I can scan to card Wifi and connect/disconnect at will?

    Thank you!

    VMware is only a map of Ethernet network wired to the guest regardless of the type of network adapter in the host OS.  If needed/wanted a WiFi adapter in the comments then you will need to provide your own, like a USB WiFi network adapter.  Network adapter WiFi integrated host cannot / will not be seen in the comments.

  • A separate copy of VMware Fusion by user

    Hello

    I have a Mac Pro where I want two independent copies of VMware Fusion running. I thought I had two users with Admin privileges, and each with a vmware fusion facility that they own.

    One will be the host of services that need to be connected all the time.

    And it will be used for the test and because VMWare fusion does not revertToSnapshot operation while merger is turned on, it will turn it off (at least) before execution of the revertToSnapshot. So I can't have my servers and test virtual machines running on the same copy of VMware Fusion. (Please let me know if I'm wrong and there is a work around which will allow all on a VMWare fusion only exemplary.)

    So in this case, I need two copies, VMWare seems to install so that it is available for all users on the same machine. And it doesn't seem to be a simple installation and uninstallation processes. So I (naively) thought I could package VMWare Fusion just pull on the Applications folder and put in the office he said. And then I can do it again for the other user.

    Which will work?

    Thank you

    I have a Mac Pro where I want two independent copies of VMware Fusion running. I thought I had two users with Admin privileges, and each with a vmware fusion facility that they own.

    To be clear, there's a merger set up by machine (for security reasons). Each user can have its own set of virtual machines.

    And it will be used for the test and since VMWare fusion does not revertToSnapshot operation while the merger is on

    In my view, that the control is actually if there is a lock file, not knowing if any instance of Fusion runs. If user A running virtual machine X and user B wants to return virtual machine, it should work fine (as long as there is not the virtual machine library, but that would cause problems anyway).

    My understanding is that the older versions of vmrun incorrectly ignored the lock file, so if you could revertToSnapshot with Fusion race, there was a small chance of corruption.

  • Genuine Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running in the partition, BootCamp with VMware Fusion 3.1

    I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    I installed Windows 7 on my Bootcamp partition and until recently he worked well as well when I ran into VMWare Fusion.

    When I boot on my Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition, everything is OK.  But then when I run it in VMWare Fusion it says that my copy is not genuine.

    I just went through the automated phone system and entered the codes, and so now while I'm running Fusion Windows is genuine.

    I fear, however, that when I return to the execution of the partition, Bootcamp, Windows will say that is not true, once again.

    Only, I have a copy of Windows 7 and can only run from the VMWare Fusion or Bootcamp partition at any time.

    How can I fix it if Windows is more said that it is not authentic, when I switch from a training camp and VMWare Fusion?

    I need to be able to run Windows while I'm on the side of Mac at the same time

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you used the same Windows Installer Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion product key, there is the question.  You can only install and activate a 1 license of Windows 7.  The second installation requires own license that you can buy on the Microsoft Store. Carey Frisch

  • PC VMware fusion migration agent: can I migrate to an external drive

    I'm evaluating merger 7 and try to migrate existing PC. Is there a way I can create a vmware file which I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?

    While the two results in a P2V and share some code/software between then, however, they are different products.  The Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion is a limited subset of what VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is able to do.  You said in your OP ""is there a way I can create a vmware file that I can move in a HARD drive rather than perform the migration on the network?". VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go if that's what you want to do.  Personally I would never, under any circumstances use the Agent of Migration of VMware Fusion and instead use other disk imaging software then manually create a Virtual Machine VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is the way to go otherwise.
