• Cannot use mouse on Ubuntu hosted on vmware Fusion on a mac

  Hello world

  I'm running into a problem that I can't seem to understand-

  I can't get the mouse running x on Ubuntu hosted on a mac. I keep seeing these errors in the console:

  and I can't tell if it's a configuration issue with vmware or a configuration problem in Ubuntu (or more likely, both).

  The mouse worked - but when I installed a window manager and improved, it seems to stop working.

  Any suggestions or points on how solve/debugging/troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• Switching on ubuntu host, workspaces.

  I have 9 workstation running on portable ubuntu 64-bit with 2 external monitors and a docking station.  My vm is win7.  My ubuntu host has 4 desktops or workspaces that I can pass.  I run win7 virtual machine in one of the workspaces.  I would like to start the virtual machine mode full-screen so that he will see both monitors.  The problem is that when I want to switch to a different workspace on the host, I have to go on full screen.

  Does anyone know other ways to pass the workspace while only in a VM fullscreen?

  I thought about it.  CTRL + ALT to lose the accent then CTRL + ALT + arrows to switch from windows.

• Cannot add Ubuntu host physical hard drive to Windows 7 comments

  When I try to add a physical hard disk to a Windows 7 client on an Ubuntu host, I get the error: "insufficient permission to access file. This occurs if the drive is mounted on Ubuntu or not. In Ubuntu, permissions on records House / < username > / vmware and/dev/sdc have rwx was set by "chmod-r 777 vmware."

  Steps to follow:

  -Launch the Virtual Machine settings
  -Add the hard drive; Use a physical disk
  -Device is/dev/sdc (connected by eSata to the host of Ubuntu)
  -Use: Use the entire disk
  -Name of the disk file: Windows7x64 - 0.vmdk

• Station working 12, after suspend and resume, kills the host graphics performance (15.10 Kubuntu/Ubuntu host).

  When I suspend and resume my comments on VMware Workstation 12 Pro systems, using the command "vmrun suspend", my system very fast host (Kubuntu 15.10) suffers from a terrible performance issue after standby.  Graphic files, such as photos, now take 20 seconds to display on the host system to the place instantly. Here is an example of command that shows the problem to a 2.5 MB JPEG file on my host system.

  display of $ IMG_1234.JPG

  Other graphics software become even slow on display: geeqie, eog, etc.. However, the cp command is always instantaneous for the same file, so the problem does not seem to be related to the disk:

  $ cp IMG_1234.JPG whatever.jpg

  
  

  The problem remains until I have suspend the VMs system again (or stop).  If I take it back once again, the problem sometimes returns immediately. Other times it comes back after a few hours or a few days. (The problem is intermittent, but suspending the VMs always makes the problem go away.)

  If the graphic file is small, it displays quickly.  The slowdown is proportional to the size of the graphics file.

  When I run a strace of the 'View' command, I see that the delays are produce for the read() of the image file. No errors appear in/var/log when the behavior occurs.

  I suspend the VMs every night automatically (vmrun suspend) before that cron runs a backup of the entire system (using rsync). Then I have them back manually in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes, the problem is present and sometimes not.

  Two virtual machines use shared folders to access the host system.

  The problem started after upgrading my host of Kubuntu 14.04 15.10 LTS, and VMware Workstation version 10 to version 12. (Both at the same time.)

  System details:

  • VMware® Workstation 12 Pro, 12.0.1 build-3160714. Two virtual machines: Windows XP and Windows 7 Professional.
  • The host system: 12 cores, 32 GB of RAM (28 GB free), SSD
  • Using the new system for graphics (G-Force graphics cards)
  • Under Plasma (KDE) for host GUI.

  Thanks for any help!

• Create a virtual machine using the ubuntu (host of W7) partition

  I am running Windows 7 and 8 of VMware Workstation.

  The disc is actually a raid-0. There are 3 partitions: (Dual-boot)

  -Ubuntu (64-bit)

  -System reserved Windows

  -Windows (64-bit)

  I am trying to create a virtual machine under W7 using the Ubuntu partition.

  I tried 2 things for step 'select a physical drive:

  -Use individual partitions. The problem is at the end, when you click Finish. I get the error: "one of the provided parameters is not valid."

  -Disc use whole. The virtual machine is created, but when I turned on, I get the error:

  "Could not open the disk ' C:\. [..] \Ubuntu 64 - bit.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: the physical disk is already in use. »

  Thank you in advance for answering,

  Kind regards.

  In my tests I couldn't use a host physical diskwith a Windows 7 without setting the disc 'offline '.
  But then you can set the diskette from Windows Startup 'offline '.

• Comments Windows XP keyboard freezes under heavy current hit on Ubuntu host

  Hello

  I am running a facility otherwise without problem with a host of Ubuntu 8.10 and a guest of Windows XP SP2 (VMware tools) in Workstation 6.5.1 build-126130 installed.

  The problem is this: occasionally (usually when I do a lot of typing) the guest OS stops accepting entries to the keyboard. As he does, he takes the last 20-30 keys (the buffer of some keyboard somewhere?) and repeat them several times, so I find myself with a few lines of what I just typed. After that, the customer will not accept any keyboard input, including the "send Ctrl-Alt-Del" command in the VM Worstation menu. Mouse input, however, is not affected by this (still works very well).

  The only way to get the comments to replay the keyboard is to restart the guest operating system (which fortunately can be made with the mouse). I tried to suspend/resume the guest and the opening/closing workstation - no effect. I also tried to vary the amount of RAM in the prompt to rule out a problem of low resources - no effect. This does not affect the keyboard in the home... everything is normal.

  Any ideas on where this problem is perhaps or anything else to try?

  P.S. I've specified manually the next keyboard map in ~/.vmware/config to move other keyboard problems:

  xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0 x 138 # Alt_R

  xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0 x 135 # KP_Divide

  xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter

  xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0 x 148 # Up

  xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0 x 150 # down

  xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # left

  xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # right

  xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R

  xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0 x 152 # Insert

  xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0 x 153 # Delete

  xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0 x 147 # home

  xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # end

  xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0 x 149 # before

  xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0 x 151 # next

  xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0 x 46 # Scroll_Lock

  xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0 x 100 # Pause

  xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L

  xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R

  xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu

  Running a vCPU 2 comments on a 2 Core comments can cause resource contention problems.  Try to change your prompt to run a single vCPU to see if that helps.

  If this isn't the case, please attach the .vmx file and vmware.log since the directory containing your comments and we'll take a look.

• Question about support of Ubuntu host platforms

  According to the user's guide, the latest version of vmware server-supported Ubuntu is 8.04, which becomes a bit long in the tooth.

  -Are there a plan in the near future to support a newer version of ubuntu?

  -people run vmware server 2 on the latest versions of ubuntu without any significant problems?

  Hello

  You must run vmware server 2 on Ubuntu 8.04 without problems. It works very well because it is fully supported.

  Anyway people running vmware server 2 on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10. It is not supported and sometimes some questions (weird), but it should work.

  If you want to install vmware server on ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10, I recommend you visit the "VMWare server 2 install problems" section in this post.

  Hope this helps

• span interface between host and guest

  Hello

  I hope someone here can help me, my current setup is:

  Host: Ubuntu10.04 running VMware Player 3.01

  Guest operating system: Windows XP

  My laptop is plugged into the back of an IP phone, which spans its traffic to my PC.  I'm testing a record call request for a customer call center that runs in windows.  I ran some captures of packets with Wireshark and confirmed that my Ubuntu host receives the voice traffic, however the guest operating system is not.  Someone knows a way to cover the ports so that the guest OS receives all packets sent to the host operating system?

• None of the folders shared no comments opensuse 11.2 host opensuse.11.2

  Ref: VMware workstation 7

  Host: opensuse 11.2 KDE 4.3.1

  Comments: opensuse 11.2

  WS does not work well, I see the folders in a XP guest, I can't see them in a guest opensuse 11.2. I turn on records, the VMtools rise and when it starts the message says: the MVtools are installed. Creating shared folders is OK. Comments of openSUSE 11.2 is not installalled all files in vmware opensource. When I look under/mnt hgfs does not exist.

  Otherwise, opensuse 11.2 comments works fine.

  I wonder if anyone has a guest opensuse 11.2 and shared folders? or same fedora 12. Seems that the problem is not in VMware, but in the SElinxu distro? or something else.

  TIA

  Terry =-

  I wonder if anyone has a guest opensuse 11.2 and shared folders?

  Yes, I did the same thing with Ubuntu host. If you try to toggle actions with the client running, you will also get a runtime error.

  Workaround solution:

  Disable shared folders

  Open a terminal and 'sudo mkdir/mnt/hgfs.

  Enable shared folders

  Works here.

  Edit:

  I would add that it worked from the Terminal, took another look and it seems broken from file manager. I almost never use shared folders, I Samba server running on my host computer and use it. More reliable and available on my local network. I do almost all the sharing of files on the network and others, through a Samba Linux server.

• Host: Linux, guest: Windows 95. Virtual floppy drive is not accessible

  I have Windows 95 as a guest on an Ubuntu machine.  I have no physical floppy but drive you have "installed" a virtual floppy drive with the following text in the vmx file

  floppy0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  floppy0. FileName = ' / home/me/VM95/Windows95_A/ordflop.» IMA.

  floppy0.filetype = 'file '.

  floppy0.startConnected = 'TRUE '.

  where ordflop. IMA is a non bootable floppy drive disk image.  I got it mounted on my Ubuntu host computer so the file should be OK.

  However, when I start the W95 guest (after a clean restart of the host) and try to run Explorer on the A: drive, I get the 'helpful' message

  A:\ is not accessible

  Device is not ready

  How can I get rid of this "mistake"?

  Another thread (105764) that deals with a problem with a Windows startup NT referred to as modifying a registry key, but the key does not exist on my Windows 95 machine and it adding has no effect.

  Well, I wanted to test this for you yesterday, but my ubuntu host decided that he does not like the ATI card in it more for one reason or the other.

  Unfortunately do not have the time to solve the problems he (I could if I spent less time on the forums... hmmm...)

  I do not know you have triple checked this, but just in case...

  Are you sure that not only the box "connect at power on", but especially the "connected" box is checked?

  If this is the case, could join the vmware.log for this virtual machine file (please do not paste content just) your answer?

• Poor performance when multitasking on T510 Core i5, Windows 7 64, 4 GB of RAM, NVidia Optimus 512 MB

  I am sadly disappointed with my new Lenovo performance and do not know what could be the cause.

  I just got a new T510 with Core i5, 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 64 processor. When I run a few programs, such as Photoshop, Virtualbox (850 MB of RAM allocated), Google Chrome with a few tabs I'm stuck.

  It seems that 4 GB of memory is not enough for the work that I did on a 2GB machine a week ago.

  Response time of the computer is a couple of seconds for the window switching. New programs begin to count in a few minutes. Consumption of RAM reaches 98%, even if no single program is listed to consume more than 150 MB in the Manager of tasks or resource monitor. The effects Aero cool work, however, there no sloppiness in the graphical layer of the system.

  Even now, after killing of Virtualbox, remaining processes are up to 89% of the RAM in the resource manager.

  I'm working on the power running with power setting 'Performance', but I can hardly call it a performance.

  It's ridiculous, it was supposed to be a fast multitasking machine and turns out a load of scrap metal. I used to work on 2GB, 1.6 GHz Celeron with processor Intel GMA, had Ubuntu host and Guest Windows XP with 750MB of RAM allocated, plus a couple of tools for programming and never had such problems _on ordinary basis_.

  I plan to run a Ubuntu on this machine because I can't just work this way on Windows 7... I can't even kill a process easily because it takes forever to complete a process.

  A friend of mine runs similar configuration on a slower machine T410 with CPU and the poor graphics and he says it's really strange, because he never had this kind of problem. My PC is new, 4 days from arrival, its is like 2 months old.

  Everyone knows about the similar problem? What could be the cause?

  At this point, I have Chrome with about 10 tabs, Firefox empty, empty Photoshop, Pidgin and 3 Windows Explorer running, Adobe Reader with 1 paper and Sticky Notes. Consumption of RAM is 3495MB used (Yes), 113 and 276 MB free Eve.

  What's not here?

  Please see the attached screenshot:

  

  http://img715.imageshack.us/i/captureybh.PNG/

  Well, the problem is resolved. After removing delivered Norton Internet Security suite, run as plate gold.

  I'll take another antivirus software, then.

  Now, even with the operation of Virtualbox, I still like 2 GB of free RAM. And no lag, no slowdowns. Woohoo.

• IPSec on VMWare ESX 5.1 communication problems

  Hello

  We have 2 computer systems.  You running us VMWare ESX 5.1 and the other is running Ubuntu 14.04.  We have problems for IPSec to work between the two systems.  We cannot find any documentation or known issues with IPsec on VMWare ESX 5.1, so we're going to reach out to the community.

  Here's what we did:

  1. we configured Ubuntu and VMWare systems to use IPv6, we can ping each other using IPv6.

  2. we configure IPSec on an Ubuntu operating system by following the instructions below:

  https://help.Ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo

  3. we have followed the instructions below to configure IPsec on VMWare.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1021769

  Here's the problem:

  When 2 Ubuntu systems run IPsec, they are able to ping each other.  However, when allow us IPSec communications between VMWare and Ubuntu, the ping is suspended.

  Here is the result of the configuration of command esxcli on VMWare:

  UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS-> Ubuntu IPv6 address

  VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS-> address IPv6 from VMWARE

  
  Name Source address Destination address State SPI Mode Encryption Algorithm, integrity algorithm to life

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

  VMWARE DPToGoSA. IPv6.ADDRESS UBUNTU. Mature IPv6.ADDRESS infinity 0 x 300 transport 3des-cbc hmac-sha2-256

  GoToDPSP UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 in ipsec transport GoToDPSA

  Here's what we found:

  After debugging the problem (using tcpdump), we found that the VMWare system sends the ESP packets, but never sends a package AH (required for IPSec authentication).  Even when the encryption protocol is null, the system of VMWare would always send ESP packets, but never once sent a package of AH.

  Here is the resulting execution trace: Ubuntu - ping-> VMWare:

  ...

  IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 16): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 1, length 64

  IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 1), length 160

  IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 17): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 2, length 64

  IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 2), length 160

  IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 18): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 3, length 64

  IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 3), length 160

  Summary:

  There seems to be a problem with IPSec in VMWare ESX 5.1 on IPv6.

  We noticed that the downloads section of the site support provided patches for VMWare ESx 4.x and earlier, but lack of patches for VMWare ESx 5.x.

  Are there known issues in this area or available patches to fix this problem?  Your kind suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Sorry for the late reply, but here the analysis of what is happening and why you are experiencing a problem.

  The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to IPsec protocol will encrypt a payload of the packet and can

  Optionally authenticate the packages as well. You do not include orders allowing you to set the

  Security Association (SA) and political security (PS), but the output in your post indicates that you

  you want to encrypt the payloads both authenticate packets in mode of transport between the hosts.

  I don't know why the Ubuntu IPsec HowTo examples using protocols AH and ESP to encrypt and

  authenticate the packets. In our view, it is best done in a single step with ESP, ESXi only

  offer the option of AH with IPsec. Of course, this requires configuring the ESXi server and your

  The host with a configuration of IPsec compatible Ubuntu (or any other operating system).

  To illustrate, suppose the ESXi server has the address 2001:db8:1 and the host of Ubuntu has the

  address 2001:db8:2. We will use cbc-3des for encryption of the useful and hmac-sha2-256 load for integrity

  authentication mode of transport - just like in your message.

  On the ESXi host, the commands to do this might look like this (of course, you need to generate your)

  own keys and not re-use those I did).

  On your Ubuntu host, you need a compatible IPsec configuration. In general, on linux systems

  use the command setkey BSD-door, this is done by changing the system-wide

  in/etc/ipsec configuration file - tools.conf.

  I have no problem of encryption and authentication of IPv6 traffic between a server ESXi 5.1

  and a host of 14.10 Ubuntu using this configuration.
