• VMWare Workstation 12 and 18 of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 16.04) and vmware tools or open-vmware-tools

  I created a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 12.1.1 build-3770994 with a guest OS from Linux Mint 18 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04). I have two monitors on my system, the two 2560 x 1440. I am unable to get this virtual machine Linux Mint 18 to cover all of my two monitors when I disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my vm settings, I get an error. I have another Linux Mint 17 VM running on the same VMWare Workstation 12 on the same host machine from Windows 10 and it is able to expand on my two monitors very well with "Accelerate 3D graphics" disabled, but he does not open-vmware-tools.

  I have read instructions telling me to install open-vm-Tools-Office in this guest operating system of Linux Mint 18. I did it. Then I restart the guest operating system. When starting, I can click on 'Enter full screen mode' in my menu of VMWare Workstation, and the guest OS has a monitor as expected. When I then click on "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the following error. "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected screen layout. If you add a monitor to the host computer, you must turn off and turn on the virtual machine to use this monitor. »

  

  I can optimize my VM to automatic adjustment, only one of my two screens, but not both. I tried to uninstall and reinstall open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and restart. I tried to use /vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl's original vmware tools and who does not work either.

  In my vmware.log, I get these two lines that occur when I get the above error.

  2016 07-12 T 15: 43:19.068 - 06:00 | MKS | I125: ToolsSetDisplayTopology: send rpcMsg = 1 DisplayTopology_Set, 0 0 2560 1440

  2016 07-12 T 15: 43:24.853 - 06:00 | vCPU-1 | I125: TOOLS of the call to DisplayTopology_Set failed.

  When I activate "Accelerate 3D graphics" with the configuration described above, I am able to use both of my monitors. Why is this the case?

  I think remember having to disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my Linux Mint 17 comments vm because it would crash randomly. I try to run this VM Linux Mint 18 with 3D acceleration and see if it crashes, but why is there a difference with spanning multiple monitors?

  Thank you.

  I didn't experience this problem for a few weeks. I don't have a definitive answer to my original problem.

  I installed Mate instead of cinnamon 3 to my MINT 18. Then, I created a new VM with Ubuntu Gnome 3 16.04 running as the OF. I did have problems with both approaches. I also tried using Firefox as my main browser instead of Chrome, as I read that Chrome can have problems of memory. It could be a combination of several of these changes that have allowed me to work without problems.

  Knowing what I know now, I think the move away from cinnamon 3 is what seems to have fixed my problems. I can certainly say that you use Firefox consumes less memory, as I can monitor the monitor system under Ubuntu. Chrome would eventually eat all my system memory, that I could see. The extent of the why? I'm not sure at this point.

• Installation on Red Hat Linux 7.2 vmware tools

  I am in Workstation 8 and I'm having some trouble to the VMware tools to install.

  This problem occurs when you run vmware-config - tools.pl. He can not find the GCC binary. I provide the path/usr/bin, but it returns an error saying that is is not a valid path.

  A similar problem occurs with the path to the kernel header. I suppied the /lib/modules/2.4.7-10 path, but I received an error message indicating that this was not the right path.

  My skills with linux are newbient so I might very well do something ignorant.

  Thank you

  I love Ubuntu for his extremely quick start and a minimum load. The server for the VMS operating system is very low.

• HP Envy 4 1050ca Installation of Ubuntu Linux 12.1

  My urge 4 works celebrates. I tried to install Ubuntu 12.1 using windows install Ubuntu. The installation went very well, it seemed, but when the laptop rebooted and I chose Ubuntu in the start menu of Windows OS, it crashed. It seems that the Ubuntu Installer cannot see the drive 500Gbyte. I have read several posts with different solutions, including modifying the bios. I don't want to disrupt functionality of recovery on the 4 of envy, is there a simple method to allow a linux install?

  J.Clark Toronto/Canada

  I would recommend this post on a forum of Ubuntu, because most of the people on these forums do not have experience with this OS and the fact that HP does not support this OS. You would have better luck find a solution by asking around here.

• VMware tools to install Linux is broken in desktop 8.0.4

  Thus, it seems that this file is missing from the image of tools that comes with workstation 8.0.4 for Windows 7.

  Is there any solution for this?

  The file is not missing, I'm interested in it right now in archive of gun zipper VMwareTools - 8.8.4 - 743747.tar.gz located in the VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 8.0.4 linux.iso file.

  FWIW, I always install VMware Tools on Linux from a root shell (su - (including Ubuntu)) and the cd vmware-tools-distrib directory and start the installation simply with ./vmware-install.pl just like the instructions say to do, and it usually works without problem by providing that the prerequisites are met.

  What should I do?

  Looking at your mistakes, you seem to have an earlier version of the tools which are not uninstaled or tools are coming from another source when the installation program checks the files are already claimed. I first uninstall everything that claims these files and possibly clean/regen your db packace if necessary. Then, reinstall the tools and see if you still get errors with no alert clobber.

• I get an error when you start the process of windows 7 installation on ubuntu 9.04

  I'm on ubuntu 9.04 and I do not so I wanted to install windows 7 on it, but after clicking on install on Windows 7, the installation of a temporary file stops after 10 seconds with an error message:

  You will need to repartition your hard disk, so that Windows does not recognize the file system that Ubuntu Linux uses by default (which is ext3). You can do within Ubuntu Linux using several different tools, or if you are more interested in the use of Ubuntu Linux you can repartition the disk in the installation of Windows.

• Need for security upgrade VMware Tools?

  Hello, Im using a VMware environment that runs a good handful of Linux VM.  We're running 5.1 VMware update 3 on all hosts.

  Im not a Linux guy and im going to have to start learning more about Linux, but I've noticed to allocate to the virtual machine is here who have Linux, either do not have VMware tools installed, or are obsolete.  Its mix of Red Hat Enterprise 6, SUSE Linux 11, CentOS 4/5/6/7 and Ubuntu.

  My first concern is security, from a point of view security should I get these Linux VM up to date with the latest VMware tools, or else get installed on it?

  A feature point of view im says that the virtual machine is working well.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hi Defrogger,

  I have a small number of Linux virtual machines in my environment and I have VMware tools installed, its always good to keep up to date.

  They also provide the required drivers for the VM Client interact with the reliable ESXi host. This interface allows also ESXi host be able to check on the health of the client VM during its operation.

• 7 - fusion '3D Acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  Hello

  I installed the free Fusion 7 trial this week on my iMac and subsequently installed Windows 8.

  The resolution of the screen under Windows is very low compared to the Mac OS.

  In addition, I have the warning message in the Windows display settings:

  '3D acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  I also note that the display driver in Windows is the display driver database with Microsoft.

  A few weeks ago I installed version 6 of Fusion and it worked very well.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  John.

  Take a look at the installation and the use of the VMware tools and more spicifically to manually install or upgrade VMware Tools in a Windows Virtual Machine.

  If by chance, VMware Fusion is not properly mounting image VMware Tools windows.iso file then you have to do it manually.  It is located in "/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/windows.iso" and will have to be copied, not moved, in a location that is accessible out of the bundle of VMware Fusion.app as the office.  If you need to do this, you can right click on the bundle of VMware Fusion.app see the content of the selection box and access its location to copy.  To assign the windows.iso on the CD/DVD image, take a look at: Connect and Set Up a CD/DVD Drive

• Impossible to uninstall VMWare Tools

  My installation of VMWare Tools apparently did not succeed. I am unable to reinstall due to the partial installation and impossible to uninstall via Windows or the Mac facilities according to the instructions of VMWare. And now, I don't have access to Windows virtual network running. How to uninstall? Are these tools clean?

  The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

  regardless of this function.

  If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

  running vmware-config - tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make

  and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

  These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

  The VMWare Tools included with fusion 7.0.1 solved this problem for me (and without any serious regressions I noticed so far, at least, which is nice but not something I intend on with vmware), so probably the next update of each VMware product should include the updated tools.  Don't know how long updates to other products are coming, however.  Wonder if there is a separate place to get just the tools to day?

  The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

  feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

  regardless of this function.

  If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

  running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make

  and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

  These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

  Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

  http://www.VMware.com/go/downloadfusion

  Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

• Linux VMware Tools and their dependencies

  Hello

  I want to install VMware Tools on one Linux Virtual MACHINE created with Workstation 10.x for Windows.

  Ce Linux distribution drift since Ubuntu 13.10.

  Je would like to know What packages are needed for a correct installation et configuration of these Tools.

  Also, I have would like to know If there is a Ubuntu repository where to download and install the latest version of these Tools.

  Thank you

  Good bye

  What is the difference between VMware Tools and Open Virtual Machine Tools?

  Copy and paste this question into Google!

  By chance, you have your repository in order to always download the latest version?

  I use only VMware tools and always uninstall first Open Virtual Machine Tools and also use - clobber-kernel-modules = if necessary when installing the VMware Tools on the distributions that have Open Virtual Machine Tools installed.

• VMware tools for Linux

  Hello

  Y at - it a general Vmware tools for all Linux: I mean Redhat suse and Ubuntu are the same?

  Where can I download it

  Thank you

  You can install it via the tools provided with your ESXi installation. Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select comments-> installation / upgrade VMware Tools.

  

  This will mount a CD player in the guest operating system, providing VMware tools. The steps to install on CentOS (i.e. RHEL base):

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # cd/tmp

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mkdir/mnt/cdrom

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom

  Mount: block device/dev/sr0 is protected write, read-only installation

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz/tmp

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # umount-l/mnt/cdrom

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # tar xfz VMwareTools-version 9.0.0 - 782409.tar.gz

  root@srv20 [/ TMP] # cd vmware-tools-distrib.

  root@srv20 [/ tmp/vmware-tools-distrib] # perl./vmware-install.pl--defaut

  Debian may differ a little in the names, but you get the idea.
