Mouse USB and keyboard problems in VMWare Workstation / Ubuntu 8.10

I am running VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.5.0 build 118166

My host is Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27 - 7-generic and I am hosting another instance of the same operating system on the same machine.

The problem I see is that the keyboard and mouse misbehave / erratic from the host machine. It is a multimedia keyboard 1.1 Microsoft wireless

There are essentially two problems:

(1) dedicated cursor keys / pageup / to / home / delete do not work properly. For example, PageUp wants to take a screenshot.

(2) the mouse seems slow to recognize clicks / trolling. For example, if I click on a tab in Firefox and move immediately, the tab starts to drag. Even if I click on an image and then move the mouse - drag is initiated.

I tried several combinations of keyboard layout in the case of Ubuntu comments does not. No problems of this nature in the host, or an instance of XP comments.

Any suggestions?

Workaround KB 1007439 make a difference?

    Aspire 603G, win 8.1

    With the help of the optical mouse NSB

    I have problems with my mouse plugged in by USB.  The mouse will panic at random and I don't know how to fix it. When I click on a link in Google Chrome, it will open several pages.  If I am in a program, XCom enemy unknown, for example and click to move, shoot, or no matter what, he'll just keep clicking.  Other programs are the same.  Sometimes, maybe 2 out of 10 times, the mouse didn't not fit which is which is clicked, then it will be * taken * upward and I'm having a crazy amount of screens open. Try closing some tabs and eventually close all cause them the mutli-random clicks mouse.  So boring.

    I tried to go into the options of the mouse on the control panel and change the double click speed, but it's not helping. I moved the mouse to several usb ports and have the same problem.

    Thought it was the mouse, tried 2 other different brands and having the same problem.  Tried to uninstall and don't reboot, no help.  The only problem I see is the mouse uses a default Windows driver dated 2004, but Windows Update tells me that it is the most recent.

    Any help to limit what the issue is, or can be, will be appreciated.  I'm drowned in the tabs of the browser here.

    I don't see the USB drivers loaded for Windows 8 or 10 of Windows, which means that it uses the standard Windows drivers. You can try to uninstall the mouse and have it reinstall to see if that solves it.

  • Windows 7 screen freezes, freezes mouse cursor and keyboard freezes.

    Hi all

    About a month ago my internet kept cutting at about 02:00 in the afternoon - even if my BThub said it was a signal - and my internet access would not return until 05:00 sharp later that day here. This went on for about two weeks, it doesn't happen too much now, however, recently, something happens...

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion s5000 and all day - every day - not only freezes my screen, if I'm online or simply type in a Word doc, but my mouse cursor and keyboard freeze too, all at once. It's as if all of the computer crashes, and the only way I can "unfreeze" it is cutting off the entire batch to the switch. In this case nothing three times a day to ten times a day. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and how I can try to solve it? I did a system restore, to restore the PC to a date earlier, I did this about five times now, but the problem persists.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Danni.

  • Problem with VMWare Workstation combo, .vhd virtual drives and physical disks in the sector of size 4K?

    All,

    I suspect something wrong with some of my virtual machines.  I have been using these virtual machines for a while, and I see some weird behaviour recently.

    I see a lot of corruption in the virtual hard disk (.vhd based).  CHKDSK automatically gets performed many large files such as Oracle datafiles get damaged etc...  It all seems quite random and inconsistent, but I am using .vhd virtual machines in VMWare Workstation for years without problem.  This problem is new, and hard drives are basically unstable.

    I * think * (and I'm totally off base) that is perhaps the issue with my new external hard drives.  These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.  Thanks to this architecture of hard drive, don't mount not the tools of Microsoft or manupulate .vhd files on these disks.  The questions seem to go away if I switch to vmdk or switch to the physical hard disk size-one-sector 512kb.  Because errors are not compliant, that I don't really have a way to document/prove that is the case, but it seems to be.

    I use version 9.0.0 on Windows 7 Workstation, and the guest is Windows Server 2008R2.

    My question is:

    (1) what meaning?

    (2) how I prove/document, since it is a contradiction?

    (3) is this a known problem?

    (Btw, switching HDD's vmdk is not an option in our case due to an obscure legal agreement with Microsoft.  I have to distribute my VMs in vhd format, even if they are designed to run on VMWare...)

    -> Adam

    These discs have a 4 KB sector size, without e512.

    (I've highlighted "without e512" in "BOLD" to key in my answer to the host operating system.)

    -L'OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

    According to the political support for the 4 K sector hard drives in Windows, Windows 7 does not support the native 4 K (logical 4 k sector size) but it does not support Advanced Format or 512th (size of logical sector physical and 512 bytes of 4 K) and that is can be the question.

  • Problem installing VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012

    Hello

    I have problems when trying to install VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012. Windows Server is Amazon EC2 environment and a generic image extended release.

    The problem is that the installtion process fails because of "Hyper-V" during installation, but after investigating the option "Remove roles and features" I can see that it is not installed.

    Is there any fixes for this issue?

    I enclose three screenshots for you pleasure.

    Regards, Ray...

    Hello Ray,

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    You run an EC2 instance that has just 615 MB memory installed?

    It's kind of a weird for a host, much too low for Amazon memory configuration, even be profitable.

    I think that your server is running UNDER Hyper-V, for example. It is probably a Virtual Machine.

    You can easily check that yourself by running the script from this site:

    How Hyper-V to: detect if you are inside a virtual machine

    If it's a Hyper-V virtual computer then I don't think you can install VMware Workstation on the virtual machine and run the nested clients.

    You could do the opposite (invited running hyper-V in a workstation virtualized on vSphere) but is not very fast.

    As you have no control over which platform virtualization Amazon use for their windows servers, I'm afraid you will have to go for a dedicated server instead of a virtual machine.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to solve the problem of VMWare Workstation 8 - unable to open/dev/vmmon

    Initially, I had this problem in March 2011 after installing VMWare Workstation 7 on a lab machine 5.7 RHEL and attempt to boot an image I know was good and should work. .  Someone else fixed the problem for me - I think they had to install a new/different libraries (vmmon.o and vmnet.o for vmware).  However, I find no information detailing what has been done to solve the problem.

    I see the same error on the same machine after upgrading to VMWare Workstation 7.0 for VMWare Workstation 8.0.

    1 here are the mistakes I see:

    a. "Could not open/dev/vmmon.

    b. "failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.
    c. "cannot change the power state of VM: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

    Also, when I run the stop etc/init.d/vmware, then run /etc/init.d/vmware start, I see that the State of "Virtual Machine Monitor" is DOWN.


    2 here is the information on VMWare Workstation:

    VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 build 528992

    3 here is the RHEL uname - information for the host:

    2.6.18 - 274.7.1.el5xen Linux #1 SMP xxx.xxx.xxx kills Oct 17 12:06:22 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Release of RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7 (Tikanga)

    The problem could be that the version of vmmon.o and vmnet.o that comes by default with vmware does not work with linux kernel version I have on my system.  I think I need to build a new vmmon.o and vmnet.o on my particular 5.7 RHEL.

    I found that to build a new version of vmmon.o you Executive vmware - config.pl.  I have not just on my machine, and I was not able to find on the internet.

    Here is the version of vmmon.o (for RHEL 5) that I have installed on my machine:
    /usr/lib/VMware/modules/binary/BLD-2.6.18-8.EL5-x86_64smp-RHEL5/objects/vmmon.o

    Here is the version of rhel5 I use:
    2.6.18 - 274.12.1.el5xen
    It is possible that the vmmon.o using bld - 2.6.18 - 8.el5 - x86_64smp-RHEL5 is not compatible with the kernel 2.6.18 - I 274.12.1.el5xen.

    Please help me find vmware - config.pl so I can build my own vmmon.o and vmnet.o

  • Problem installing vmware in Ubuntu 11.10 tools

    I've upgraded from vmware workstation 7 to 8 on a windows 7 pro workstation. I've added to my VM - 11.10 Ubuntu guest. Now I have a problem installing vmware tools.  That's what I did:

    ((1) installed Ubuntu 11.10 CD in the drive, 2) open vmware and Tools CD added to office.  (3) connect you open terminal window.and.  Since I'm new to Linux, I'm stuck on how to set a password.  I type sudo passwd root, and I can't type anything in the window.

    Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    You have two questions unrealated

    (1) with respect to the OS - Ubuntu 11.10 - these shoud guest invited on ubuntuforums.org Creafe a connection there and ask in the beginner's forum.

    Tip - You don't really have need a password for root in Ubuntu.  Use you sudo to run root permisssions wherer programs are needed.  He said on top of each terminal.

    (2) you have any questions on how to install VMware Tools in a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) Guest.  You most certainly need assistance with this.  In the toolbar of the program, you will see a tab called "Help".  It only contained other information you are looking for.

    See the sections on VMware Tools.   They are really useful!

    Tip: You do not use the OS installation disc that you used to create the virtual machine. Look closely under the VM tab at the top. There will be an option in the drop-down list that says "The Install Vmware Tools" you need to select this option.  The insatll will be mounted as if by magic in SLE directory/Media in the comments.  Copy the tarred on this cdrom in / tmp.  Then naviagate (carefully) in / tmp and unpack the file you copied.  Carefully change (look at you spelling - do what I say - not as I do in this post!) to the directoyrf that was created.  Exceute as su (i.e. root - like in the 1 trick.)  the .pl program wiil be contain breast.  Technically, this is called a "script" don't forget to put a. / before the script name or the bad dthing don't know he lives there.  He will ask youj on many issues.  Answer Yes to all these thatg you can.  Most likely, he will say he does not find the gcc compiler (gcc to learn more about the new program of thisbrfand the man.  He complains of missing headers.  Exit the script (Ctrl + c).  Run a progarlm (as root!) called apt - get.  Type the command apt - get install build-esseential.  Thatt is going to install the compiler you need!   Yes still needs to install the header ogical file well! Phew!  The best way I found to do this is to install a nifty program called synaptic. Use apt - get install synaptic.  I think that Ubuntu even comes with a somewahat more easy to program called apt - get it will tell you and have fun there no Super Powers mean if you type an incorrect order!   I digress from the subject.   So, you can use use "sudo aptitude install synaptic l.  Now issue the command uname - r.  He sleeps on the same kernel you use since I use Ubuntu 11.10 asI type while I'm about to uplgrade to the very scary Ubuntu 12.04.  You don't want to do it yourself.

    3.0.0 - 12-Generic

    Now launch Synaptic.  There will be a message the first time on the program expalining.  If you want to see it every time to understand this program if y0ou forget don't check the box saying you don't wang to see this every time.  BTW youi will be asked for your root passworfd to run the program.  Hope you rfemembered it!

    In any case in the search box copy, then paste the result above (one that ends with - generic - but anything copylthe) there will be l be a long list of items, but choose the one that has the string above and the word "headers".  Insatll who.  After all it can return to the order which took end. / pl and run it once more.  Answere questions.  It will end with the encouraging words (you can take advantage of the VMware Tools.  Then, run the command - vmware-toolbox as it says.

    F well there you have it in short.  My price for Linux and Mwar advice is reawsonable please contact me at one of my addresses, alias - [email protected] and we can talk about payment.

    When I push the power button the screen goes through its startup routine gives her marching band welcome charge to the top of my desk.
    But when I click on the start only the start window flashes for a split sec and remains standing. If I press the windows key on the keyboard I can then click on the start and the start window appears on the screen.

    However if I open a program like note book or internet explorer, the keyboard will not and only gives a Bell sound when I use the keyboard. If I click Start, then shut down and click on restart the laptop turns off and then restart everything works fine!

    It's very boring and tedious. I'struggled with this for a long time, although it was not like that when new.

    Hello

    Believe me it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    I would like to know where the mouse you are using. Use you touch pad s notebook or external mouse?
    If you use the s key to laptop please disable it with FN + F9 and test with an external mouse only.

    What about the response of the keyboard? You can also try to test with external keyboard only. Only in this way you can see if this issue has something to do with the internal keyboard.
    Please do some testing to see if this issues can be related to defective portable equipment.
