  Is there a solution for this?

  Thank you

  I just found a solution:

  1. CD/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
  2. CP vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.bak
  3. tar - xvf vmnet.tar
  4. VI vmnet-only/filter.c
  5. replace all the entries with - #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > = KERNEL_VERSION (3, 13, 0) to #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > = KERNEL_VERSION (3, 10, 0) and save the file.
  6. tar vmnet.tar - uvf vmnet-only
  7. RM - r vmnet-only.
  8. VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

• Someone at - it support 3D (Gnome3) to work in Debian Wheezy (or Jessie) under 11.0 Workstation?

  When I was running 9.0 Workstation that has not supported 7.x Debian, I was able to get 3D support working by jumping through hoops that is easy to find by a google search (which one on this forum very is there a current guide to enable 3D acceleration in Debian invited?), however, try as I might I can't get the same job under 11.0 Workstation which takes officially supported Debian 7.x.

  If I follow the steps documented, I get to a point where I can run the following command:

  GNOME-shell--replace

  And Gnome3 loads, however, it is less stable, in fact quite unusable, while it has worked flawlessly in WS9.

  I'm assuming that thexserver-xorg-video-vmware driver just doesn't work well with WS11 yet, but that's based on not very much Linux experience (maybe the driver is not the issue?), so I am interested in the thoughts of others. For now I have abandoned this dream.

  Cheers.


  To read the release notes. I just noticed that by reading the notes of 11.1 version.

  3D rendering is not available in some operating systems, if you use the hardware virtual version 11

  If you are upgrading a hardware virtual machine virtual version 10 or 11, you may lose some 3D features in the virtual machine.

  Workaround: operating systems for Windows, VMware Tools upgrade to the latest version, which comes with 11 workstations. For Linux clients, only the following distributions are currently supported for version 11 of virtual hardware:

  • 14.04 of Ubuntu LTS and above
  • 12.04.5 of Ubuntu LTS and above
  • Fedora 20 recent updates and more

  For other Linux distributions and versions, if you plan to use the 3D feature, downgrade the version of the virtual equipment to 10.

  So I lowered my virtual material 10, repeated that the hoop jumps in to re - build the xserver-xorg-video-vmware guy (Debian Wheezy) and now I'm all set.

  I noticed a little backward that Jessie seems to work initially with Hardware version 11, but there are currently only another question which makes using Jessie in VMware is not worth the effort, unless you're willing to cherry pick a few problems upstream and stop more pending.

• Debian Wheezy 7 - iSCSI / LIO problem with ESXi 5.0

  Hi all

  I had a Debian Wheezy on a HP ML310e server. This server should be used as an iSCSI - storage server.

  Unfortunately I am not able to connect my 5.0 with LIO iSCSI target ESX servers.

  I used the implementation of LIO (targetcli) for iSCSI and I used the official installation manual Linux target SCSI - ISCSI.

  I know that the discovery of the Portal works, because when I enter the IP Address of storage in the dynamic discovery, the two portals of storage can be found. BUT any new features.

  I disabled the CHAP authentication, because I thought that it might have to do with it, but still no go.

  My Windows 2003 R2 64 bit backup server can connect without a problem.

  I have a feeling it's something small, but unfortunately I can't find any debugging or a newspaper for the login process.

  Here is some info on my system:

  Why is there no support for Linux / Mass Storage on Z3?

  If you have an external SD card in your phone, you can connect this MSC instead of PSG. You can set the Sub settings-> Xperia connectivity-> USB connectivity-> USB connection mode. But the phone's internal memory can be connected using the PSG. If I understand correctly, this is because MSC would require your PC to have exclusive access to the memory and the internal memory of the phone is used by applications and the OS, so it cannot be used for MSC.

• 7.0 on Debian Wheezy 3.2.0 - 3 - vworkplace

  I know this is an old version, but it is provided by Insynq as their linux client. I'm trying unsucessfully to install it from the file vWorkspaceConnectorForLinux - 7.0.0.012.bin.

  I am running Debian Wheezy 7 with core 3.2.0 - 3-amd64.

  He tries to build the sharing USB module and dies without generating the file "buildlog.txt. All this is build prerequisites are met, but it will just build this module or do anything you wanted.

  It is possible to work or should I just ask a client version updated?

  Does ever buildlog.txt? Where is it supposed to go?

  It doesn't send errors to stderr or normal logs in/var/log I can find. I looking in the wrong place?

  Thanks in advance.

• How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

  How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?

  Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

  These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

  These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

  WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

  This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

  Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

  Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

  There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

  Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_CoreStorage GB LVG 121.0 disk0s2

  3: disk0s3 Apple_Boot Boot OS X 134,2 MB

  / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

  1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

  2: disk1s2 Apple_CoreStorage TB 3.0 LVG

  3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  / dev/disk2 (internal, virtual):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD + 3.1 TB disk2

  Logical volume on disk0s2, disk1s2

  0D807F6E-FB7C-418F-AAF4-EF3EA3525D10

  Fusion unencrypted drive

  Here's how we do it.

  • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
  • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
  • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
  • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
  • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
  • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
  • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
  • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
  • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
  • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
  • Cs diskutil list.
  • You will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
  • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
  • For example:
  • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
  • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
  • diskutil cs remove UUID
  • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
  • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
  • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
  • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
  • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
  • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
  • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
  • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
  • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
  • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
  • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
  • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
  • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • D. recreate the fusion drive
  • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3
  . on the screen of the terminal type:
• diskutil list.
• You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
• 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
• 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
• 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
• 7
. Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
• The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
• For example:
• diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
• diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
  cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
  create - creates a basic storage group.
  nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
• appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
• It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
• 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
• Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
• Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
• Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
• Waiting for logical volume group appear
• Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
• Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
• Finished CoreStorage operation
• 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
• 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
• In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
• For example:
• Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
• diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
• cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
• createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
• groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
• jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
• VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
• size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
• 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
• 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
• 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
• 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
• X. how Prime to recover partition
• Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
• Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
• Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
• Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.
• Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and it will give you a list of startup disk choice, choose the OSX install USB to boot from.

• I downloaded the ISO of Enterprise 8.1 Windows with VM Ware Fusion, but I bought the 8 Win.

  I have a 90 day with the 8.1 evaluation in my VMWare Fusion on my Mac. However, when it expires, it will ask me for a product key. I bought Windows 8, but it came in a file Exe not ISO, so why I had to use version 8.1. My question is that when this 90 day period goes up, then I just enter the product key to win 8 I bought or if I not worth and download the Win 8 Iso now?

  8.0 keys do not work with 8.1.  You must obtain an ISO 8 (or burn one yourself using the EXE program, which will prompt you to create one).

• Can you please provide me with the fresh Fusion Mobile APP to install and test script document?

  It is ok. Try to start the virtual machine with a Debian ISO attached to this topic and try to recover the installation. It can be a problem on the reconfiguration of grub, or something like that.

• I want to get caught in charge double external monitor for my MBP with Win7 on Fusion, what should I buy?

  Forgive me if this is clear somewhere in the communities.  I have indeed searched it in addition to Google and I can't find a clear answer.

  I have a 15 "MacBook Pro (aluminum Unibody 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w / 4 GB RAM with backlit keyboard black) running VMware Fusion 3.1 and Windows 7 x 64 as a guest in Unity Mode operating system.  I have two screens beautiful external LCD on my desk.  I want to be able to run both of them with this software/hardware configuration.  To do this, I bought a USB to DVI DisplayLink solution by Diamond (as the MBP had only a single mini-DisplayPort port) in order to be able to control the 2nd external monitor.

  I noticed that when I added the USB to DVI for mixing with the latest DisplayLink drivers (it is the time where I was running VMware Fusion 3.0), it works, but not very reliable and it would break my Win7 x 64 VM or cause other weird problems too much.  I have had no other problems with this configuration in addition to VMware fusion.  As long as I wasn't trying to run a virtual machine with the merger, the USB to DVI external worked very well.   However, given the choice to have a 2nd external monitor or VM support, I had no other choice than to loop and choose VMware on the adapter.  Well, I took it on the mixture so I went back to the adapter.

  I got the notice that VMware Fusion 3.1 is available with tons of bugs and it whet my appetite again for the glory of two external monitors, so I upgraded to it yesterday.

  Is someone can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy to get the reliable support of two external monitors in this environment?

  And please don't say no double or Triple head to go by Matrox.  I don't mean for this set of compromise.

  Besides solutions Matrox, my only choice seems to be somehow supporting this additional monitor via Ethernet, Firewire or USB.  I want to know what are sanctioned for this solutions are supported by VMware (i.e. you tell me what to buy...) I'll buy it... and it works... works very well).

  Thanks a bunch,

  Ted...

  Almost all laptops, dual support external monitor and are VERY easy to configure.

  I support Mac and PC systems.  It's a complete joke that anyone would try to convince me that Mac has better bi-ecrans support.

  To the extent where what is the best solution for businesses.  The need to install a virtual Mac on a PC machine was never even considered because it is not necessary in the world of business.  I can't say that on Mac.

  I'm the guy who went to take care of both in a business environment.  Your brilliant mac sounds really cool, but it is a major pain in my butt and should be confined to a domestic environment.

  Screwed as far as home users, my Mac friends never call me on the East of their computer from viruses.  I like this very well on Mac at home.  But which probably has more to do with the fact that it is not profitable to write a virus for the Mac platform.

• Problem connecting to internet with the VM Fusion

  Decided to try VM Fusion for my iMac.  I had been running dual OS with OS X and Vista with Bootcamp.  No problem for them.

  Any Bootcamp with Fusion and benefited from the easy access, but my internet connection will not work.  Works fine in OS X, but when running windows it says that it cannot find the driver for the ethernet card.  Have tried to use the Mac and Windows Vista disk driver installation disk.  Any suggestions?

  First of all it matter where in the .vmx you put if it is on its own line and that you cannot edit the .vmx file while a Virtual Machine is running or paused.

• Help required with the MacMini Fusion Drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought a second hand end 2012 MacMini i7 wth a fusion drive. The previous owner had created a windows partition. I don't want to return the machine to its original out of the box factory for my use, as I did not need to run windows on it.

  I'm fighting to get the fusion drive to merge. Currently, I have two separate discs that I named her 329 and 781 GB. Disk utility shows that both drives are very good. I rebooted into Recovery Mode to use online disk utility and readers are not displayed in red, and so there is no option to fix them.

  I used the Terminal (after reading online) and it provides the following information:

  None of the data on disks is essential because it is broadcast on my old Mac mini and can be re-migrated later.

  Any advice on how to return the disc of the merger to its original state of the box please?

  Open Boot Camp Assistant and refer the reader to a single partition setup.
