Ubuntu 10.10 host + Workstation 7.1.3 build 324285 ISO does not load.

Hi all

I installed Workstation. 1.3 build-324285 on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (kernel 2.6.35 - 27-generic #48 - Ubuntu SMP kills Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

Everything seems to work fine except for the fact that the ISO images won't load properly. Seems there is a permission problem, since the market, workstation user sudo (root) drives (ISO of load in VM allowing the normal start on virtual CD ROM).

I installed Workstation with sudo (the system was asked to do this, otherwise it wouldn't install), but obviously I don't want to use root to run the workstation, I would be able to run as a normal user.

Can anyone give me a tip for that?

have you checked the obvious? -permissions of files on isos?

  • Adding SCSI - HOST OS card works fine, GUEST operating system does not see the new hardware

    I have a HOST Windows XP Pro SP3 with VMWare v6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, SP2 as OS GUEST running on any new Dell Precision T3500 Workstation.

    I've closed the COMMENTS and then HOST. Installed an Adeptec SCSI 39160 card in the PC. The card is a 64-bit and is installed in a PCI 32-bit slot. (It is backwards compatible with 32 - bit)

    Powered on PC. Install the drivers of Adeptec on the HOST. Works fine and I can see the card under Windows XP. Rebooted and everything is always OKm POST shows the installed card and search devices. I have no device attached at this point.

    GUEST operating system has started and it does not automatically detect the card. Tried to run the Add Hardware Wizard and same result. Tried to use VMWare to install the new Hard ware with no result.

    Can tell you how I can get the OS TO see / use the new SCSI card?

    Assuming that you have enough free disk space on the host ESXI 5.1 data store, I suggest you that you load the multiextent module as shown in the link, I posted and then clone the virtual disk using the vmkfstools command line utility.

    vmkfstools 'Windows w2k3.vmdk'-i 'clone.vmdk' slim-d - an ide

    vmkfstools EI 'Windows w2k3.vmdk' 'old.vmdk '.

    vmkfstools EI "clone.vmdk" "Windows w2k3.vmdk".

    The first line of the clones of the virtual disk in a virtual drive put in service end format, and the following two lines renaming virtual disks, so that you can delete the "old*.vmdk" files once the VM works as expected.

    Alternatively, you can also run the commands on the host ESXi 4.1 and then copy the new files hard again to avoid loading the multiextent module in the new host.

  • VMware Workstation 10 bug: DVD SATA drive does not start if we disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS

    Hello

    I use VMware Workstation 10, and I found a bug:

    With the all-new virtual machine (for example with Windows 8 x 64), if I choose a hard SATA and SATA DVD drive in VMware and I have to disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS, Windows 8 (or Windows 7) ISO does not start.

    If I come back in the BIOS to enable the floppy drive once again, my ISO boot.

    If I use the DVD IDE drive in VMware options, no problem if I disable the floppy drive.

    With "EFI mode", no bugs.

    Please, can you solve this problem? Thank you

    Hi freebeing,

    Thank you for reporting this issue.  We have reproduced it is internal and work on it.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • One migrated from my virtual machine to another host VSphere and it does not start

    I have a virtual machine that I've initially converted to Hyper-V to host VSphere. After I did it would start very well, but I got up two errors when starting.

    "An IDE controller is found but the VM does not support the option" and

    "A plate supporting the option not found."

    When I looked at the hard drive in the settings it looks like it is not supported. Is it because I badly converted to Hyper-V to VSphere using VMWare Converter?

    But now, I configure VCenter Server and tested a migration of these machines to another host and using the VSphere Client. It does not start now. I get an error message that says.

    "Device 'drive hard 1' uses a controller that is not supported." This is a general limitation of the compatibility of the virtual machine with the selected host ESXi version. »

    Remember that it is the same VSphere host it is running on initially. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    If it works now - is that correct? n ' forget not to award points useful and/or correct

    I removed these entries;

  • Visual Studio 2012 and VMWare workstation plugin does not work

    Today we moved to Visual Studio 2010 Visual Studio 2012 in our project.

    After installing VS2012, I installed VMWare workstation 9. To my surprise, it did not appear any menu in Visual Studio VMware. In the previous version, the menu item will automatically appear by the installation of VMWare. We use the VMWare plugin to debug Visual Studio applications on the virtual machine remotely.

    Does VMWare workstation 9.0 support Visual studio plugin for VS2012?

    My version of VMWare is 9.0.0 build-812388 and my version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio Premium 2012, 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL.

    The VS plugin that comes with 9 Workstation does not load in VS 2012 due to some changes in the interface COM vs.  The next update to 9 Workstation will correct this problem.

  • Workstation have its own Exchange method, or does IT exploit the windows pagefile?

    I would like to run more VM guests that physical memory will allow, so I'm choosing to use the workstation "allow some VM memory to swap.  It is, where it is traded?  Should I use windows swap files (which means that I have to increase the size of the windows swap file), or Workstation has his own trading method that does not use the paging file windows (which means I should minimize the size of the windows swap file)?

    Yes - VMware using the Windows swap file - so you should make sure that it's enough - big and put it on a fast drive

    You can also use a memory file in each directory of virtual machines, but this is not so good that using the real RAM + pagefile

  • SSI does not not on the new host

    Hello

    Moved site to a new host, and the SSI is does not load correctly. I copied the complete site for the new host, and I'm sure everything is copied across. I had no problem at all, configuration, and use of SSI on the old host. According to the cpanel, in Apache handlers, SSI is enabled on the new host. Only the name servers point to the former host still, until I can get the new one works fine.

    "I used DW to create the code originally, like <!--virtual="/ssi/rhs.html #include "-->

    where ssi is the folder that contains the two include files.

    New hosted site is here http://ans25.midphase.com/~saacpar0/

    Old site with SSI work is here http://www.saac.com.au/

    Can anyone help on this please?

  • Client computers freeze momentarily but regularly - 14.10 Ubuntu x 64 host, Linux and Windows clients

    Hello.  I use Workstation for many, many years, so I would say I have my set reasonable expectations.

    My main desktop computer:

    -Processor Intel i7 (4950 I think), memory of 16G, Samsung 850 SSD Pro, operating system Ubuntu x 64 VMWare Workstation 11.1 14.10

    It works really well, but my client machines, be it Windows 7 business or Ubuntu LTS 14.04 frequently "stutter" in use.  When the stuttering happens, the host machine is relatively high projection of CPU on vmware-vmx, 15 or 20 according to 'top '.  Stuttering can happen every minute or two, perhaps 5 to 10 seconds at a time.  It's boring, but when I use the CAD software in the computer of the customer it is downright dangerous as shortcut keys get failed, partially or entirely, and usually bad things come.

    I can watch or try to stop this stuttering?

    Thank you!

    I'll call this resolved - finally.  I thought I was going to have to continue to use Virtual Box forever - a sad perspective.  This problem has persisted in 12 Pro Version as well.

    I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem - especially when its the password on both machines - 2 for 2.  In fact I found someone else having this problem:

  • 2.04 Ubuntu comments on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7 can't see ext4 USB drive

    Comments from 2.04 Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7: on computer A trivially, I connected to an out-of-the-box 64 GB USB drive formatted for VFAT on Ubuntu in a VM. I re-init'ed the player for ext4 (mkfs.ext4), mounted, drop a bunch of stuff on him (which took awhile), he dismounted and walked away. The next day, identically configured computer B, I inserted the USB key. Natch, Win7 may not go up because it does not ext4. But Ubuntu don't see either, so I can't be installed. Do not see under removable devices, no small icon bottom left of the screen of VMware, nothing in the settings menus or properties, etc. I think it's just me being a noob to VMware, but it seems that Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 9 cannot see the drive unless Win7 can go up. Seems unlikely. KB searching, Googling, etc. produce many unrelated things. Ideas? AdvTHANKSance.

    Here is the final answer: works great on an earlier version of VMware Workstation 9 on one of the Windows 7 of my client machines, it didn't work on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to VMware Workstation 10 on my Windows 7 computer, and now it works perfectly. If I call you this a bug in this version later 9 which was set at 10. Could also be had I simply uninstalled 9 and reinstalled which would have fixed it too. But I'll never know.

  • Excessive I/o, Ubuntu Maverick, guest host of Windows 7, both are 32-bit

    Hi all.

    I've invited Windows 7 SP1 (with the latest updates) installed on a virtual machine hosted on Ubuntu Maverick. The hosts and guests are 32-bit operating systems. When the customer is running the system carries out a large number of e/s (the LED of the disc is very bright) same for answers and small farms slowly. Doing something heavier, such as from Visual Studio or MS Expression Blend inside the guest takes about 5 minutes. Opening a XAML file or build my solution also takes enormous amount of time.

    I cloned the virtual HD and he ran under VirtualBox, and it does not display these problems, then I think that the problem is somewhere in the configuration of the VMWare VM. I would like to take advantage of ability of VMWare to accelerate 3D graphics, so I have to stay with VMWare. Everyone experienced these problems? All solutions?

    Some info from the host:

    Core i5 520M

    4 GB of RAM (I have a PAE kernel, then he can access all this)

    Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)

    Hard drive 500 GB, 4500 RPM. A 277 GB free.

    News comments:

    2 virtual processors

    2 GB of RAM

    100 GB virtual hard drive (not not previously assigned)

    An another 10 GB, preallocated virtual hard disk for the windows swap file

    I also added advanced options that I saw in another site, which may solve the problem, but they did not help (and has not done anything worse still too). You can find them at the end of the VMX file attached.

    Oops - you're right - I misread
    numvcpus = 2
    cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2

    If you had 4 cores,

    numvcpus = 4
    cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2

    on the reduction...

    a vmdk healthy does not have one of this entries in a vmware.log

    READ command (10) took 3,173 seconds (ok)
    READ command (10) took 3,246 seconds (ok)
    READ command (10) took 3,206 seconds (ok)
    READ command (10) took 3,618 seconds (ok)

  • VMware Player tells me to 'host reserved RAM', but the option does not exist.  Is there a command for vmx to this file?

    I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

    So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

    vmware player mem settings.png

    Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

    The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

    @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

    sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

    Then add the following line.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.
