Linux Guest: How to get to single-user/recovery mode

I'm under Windows 7 Pro/64 bit VMWare Workstation 7.1.2 build 301548 host and guest Kubuntu 10.04 and need make it appear the prompt in single-user/recovery mode, like privileges of suite/etc have been changed so that I cannot sudo.  As a result, I can't edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg or files that are used in its construction, put on the kernel line alone or to get rid of the projection.   Press < esc >, F2, F10, space bar once zillion failed and splash of VMWare happens so fast that I can't see if it offers options, nor have I been able to find the text on this screen to search on the net.

My apologies in advance if it's there, but I've spent hours Googling and prick...

Thank you

The definition of do the same thing over and over again expect a different result is insanity.

Seriously, good that start the virtual machine and click in the display when you see the BIOS of VMware screen then press and hold the SHIFT key and the Grub boot Menu should appear.

Also if you have the ISO Image, you can start directly from that, you don't need to burn it to optical to start the VM of the ISO Image.

  • How to get to the user of the current connection

    I apologize if this is not a question that should be asked here.

    I'm working on a plugin vCO which has an inventory. The inventory shows some backend data only the logged-on user to see. So before loading of the inventory, I will need to get the current user.

    So my question is, in the IPluginFactory class, where all finder methods are defined, how can I obtain the current user that I can find the items in the inventory by the current user?

    Thanks in advance!

    You should have the implementation of IPluginAdaptor or ITokenPluginAdaptor (since the 5.1). Implement you createPluginFactory (...) and create your own plugin factories. This method receives as credentials setting (saml or name of user and password token) and is called server of vCO.

  • PowerCLI Invoke-VMScript re - ip guest - how to get the variable hostname comments

    I run the following script as a task Post-Power-we a re - ip our VMs after that MRS. them rocking.  I was able to run this script successfully without the variable hostname of comments (in the test, he runs a script by test VM with the hostname assigned...), but I'm stumped on how to get comments variablized according to the machine's host name works on, it will take the host name and use it in the GuestUser variable and the command - VM.  I tried the bold part, but it does not work.

    $srv = Connect-VIServer 10.0.0.10 - administrator of the username-password password

    $Hostname = (get-wmiobject win32_computersystem). Name

    $script = "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe/c c:\dr\drIPsettings.bat".

    $HostUser = "root".

    $HostPassword = "password"

    $GuestUser = ' $Hostname\Administrator '.

    $GuestPassword = "password"

    $ScriptType = "bat".

    SE connect-VIServer 10.0.0.10 - Session $srv. SessionID

    Invoke-VMScript - ScriptText $script - VM $Hostname - HostUser $HostUser - HostPassword $HostPassword - GuestUser $GuestUser - GuestPassword $GuestPassword - ScriptType $ScriptType

    Thank you!

    How you code the - VM on the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet parameter, it seems that Displayname of the guest is the same as the host name.

    Can't you just use a loop on guests and then use the displayname property

    $script = "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\dr\drIPsettings.bat"
    $HostUser = "root"
    $HostPassword = "password"
    $GuestPassword = "password"
    $ScriptType = "bat"
    
    Get-VM | %{
       $GuestUser = $_.Name + "\Administrator"
       Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText $script -VM $_ -HostUser $HostUser -HostPassword $HostPassword -GuestUser $GuestUser -GuestPassword $GuestPassword -ScriptType $ScriptType
    }
    

    You can encode the Get - VM with more specific selection criteria or use a Where-Object after the Get - VM.

  • How to get feedback from users in the model layer?

    Hello

    I have a page with a table and a commandButton control. User can select several rows in the table and press the button. By pressing the button, I call a method in AppModuleImpl.java and pass the selected lines. inside the method I iterate over the selected lines and do something on each line. To do my job, I need a field, for example the date of birth field, has a value, but for certain lines of this field is empty and I want to get the value of the user. Now my question is how can I get user feedback in the model layer? (don't forget that I am inside the AppModuleImpl.java)

    Is it possible to open a dialog by program and get the value of the user if needed (i.e. If the row has the value)? If Yes, how should I do?

    JDev version: 11.1.1.4

    Thank you
    Will do

    In both cases the execution does not stop to view the context menu and the popup is displayed when the called managed bean method is completed

    Execution does not stop. That is right.

    "Modal dialog box" in terms of web simply means 'a dialogue box that blocks (more or less) user input until the dialog box is closed'. You think that a modal dialog is a dialog box that stops execution of your code until the dialog box is closed and then execution continues where you left it. There is no such thing in the web. Enforcement must continue, the demand must fill. When the user closes the dialog box, then it is a new application in.

    Thus, it is not as a modal dialog in Swing. You need to stop running yourself when you open the modal dialog box and continue your code when the next request comes, for example:
    You determine that a dialogue must be shown, you open the pop-up window and return. The listener to the dialog box, you then call a method that continues to do what you need to do according to the result of the dialog box.
