Installation of VMWare in Fedora 17 (guest operating system) tools

Hi all

I'm trying to install VMWare tools in Fedora 17 and receive an error message

The path "" is not a valid path to the core of 3.3.4 - 5.fc17.x86_64 headers.

I have installed gcc, binutils, and brand.

Kernel-heads are at the same level. However, I still get the above error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Here are the details

---------------

Looking for a CCG...
Detected binary of the GCC to "/ bin/gcc".
The path ' / bin/gcc "seems to be a valid path to the GCC binary.
You want to change it? [None]

The path "" is not a valid path to the core of 3.3.4 - 5.fc17.x86_64 headers.
You want to change it? [Yes] ^ C

First... you seem to tell the difference between x86_64 and i686 iso image of Fedora. I couldn't find an i686 image. Of course, I must be on 64 bit system. If I'm wrong, then please direct me in the right direction.

If you want to use the x86_64 image that's good, assuming that your system supports.  I just used the i686 for example image in the scenario either will not lead the same way.  Then the essence is in the error message that it reported a string zero to locate the core of 3.3.4 - 5.fc17.x86_64 by default and this means that the necessary header files for the kernel were not on the system.  I introduced him as I did so we would understand that if they made a default installation and no upgrade and is not used "-"uname - r"" is then added to "kernel-devel" with yum install the last header of kernel files not by default and would always be a null string error message.

Secondly, I've upgraded to the latest version of the kernel, and I download these errors right now. Should I go down.

The latest kernel, I do not think that it is officially supported by VMware again and tools VMware would need to be patched with the third-party patch before installing with the kernels more later then the default kernel.  So you need to apply one of the hotfixes that are here on the web or use a core of support for VMware, it's your choice.

BTW, it is quite common with the Linux distro once one updated the default kernel will generally use one of the third party patches for VMware Tools install properly and you should be able to find it in the forums and via Google.  In General, VMware is and has always been extremely slow in support of new kernels, where the need to use third-party patches for VMware Tools to properly install on any Linux distro and kernel which is not yet officially supported!

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  • VMWARE Newbie - installation problems with the guest operating system

    I heard a lot about the use of VMWARE for a long time so I downloaded and then installed ESXI 3.5 on a test area.  I installed the client and have been able to create a new virtual machine.  However, I run into some difficulty with installing a guest operating system.  All the pdf that I could find have suggested that simply by putting a CD in the server's drive and then turn on the virtual machine would start the my guest operating system installation process.  Unfortunately, my VM doesn't seem to see my CDRom and tent drive a start-up network, followed by a brief wait for the message 'Operating system not found' timeout.

    Can someone please help me find a way to create a new guest OS on my VM so that I can.

    1. understand the process

    2 start testing.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you have installed of course the VI Client to create the VM, and you insert the CD into the ESXi host? You can go to change settings on the virtual machine, click the CD/DVD and select the option use the host device. Also ensure the connection to turn on is checked.  When you turn on the virtual machine, it should see the CD that you inserted in your ESXi host. Once you get the operating system to load, you can configure to allow remote desktop connections and access the VM as a traditional physical machine, rather than relying on the console of the VI Client view.

  • T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

    Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

    We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

    • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
    • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
    • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

    New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

    I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

    See you soon,.

    If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

  • no storage device found more by guest operating system installation on a virtual machine

    Hello

    I'm trying to install a guest on a new virtual machine operating system, but I can't go forward.

    I use a Dell PowerEdge 2850 , the hypervisor Server VMware ESXi 3.5 update 3 and the VMware Infrastructure Client on my computer with operating system Windows XP host.

    I am able to create a new virtual machine, but also to start on a cd for installing a guest operating system, which is (still) of Windows XP. During the installation-Setup asks me to press on enter for a new installation, the next thing is a screen with the message that Setup cannot find any storage device! It's weird, because I use the same as other data store created vm is imposed and other virtual machines always work. I created the new virtual machine several times and deleted, this is no problem. I restarted the server, but that did not help.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I also met this problem with a fresh install of XP VM.  Windows XP does not have a driver for the BusLogic or free storage controller... without that driver, only the virtual controller is not

    recognized and drives are not found.

    See in the table on the following link:

  • Installation of a guest operating system

    Hey guys,.

    I am trying to install a guest operating system in an ESXi 5 using the vSphere Client 5, but no matter what I choose as source CD / DVD for the virtual machine, he repeated to me that it is not found, I tried customer CD/DVD, ISO image, host device and I get the same for all.

    Before ask you, Yes, I didn't click the button connect/disconnect cd/DVD devices and chose the right one, but I get nothing, any ideas what I might be missing?

    Thank you

    Just to be safe. Did you download the ISO on a VMFS datastore file (for example using the datastore browser) and connect the ISO from there. Also, make sure that "Connect at Power On" is checked in the virtual CD-ROM drive of the virtual machine.

  • Surface Pro 3 - errors when you try to start a guest operating system 64-bit

    I get the following errors setting up an Ubuntu guest operating system.

    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

    This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.

    Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.

    (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."

    2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.

    (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.

    (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version.

    I've been Googling this problem since yesterday and so far, I have not come to any possible solution. Certainly, I can install the 32-bit linux flavor, but that doesn't help me when I run the installation to other 64-bit operating systems.

    I was able to resolve the issue, after most googleing. I'm always a little surprised that it works, but hey, Ubuntu is installing.

    I installed Microsoft Visual Studio, including phone windows SDK (must be included).  I disabled and then Hyper-V by issued this command in a shell of administrator command:

    bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype

    If you want to reactivate it, you then type this command

    bcdedit/set auto hypervisorlaunchtype

    WinSupersite credit for the tip (link http://winsupersite.com/mobile-devices/surface-pro-3-tip-hyper-v-vs-connected-standby)

    Once I rebooted and restarted Vmware, I could start Ubuntu and start the installation process.
