Virtual machines will not work after missing 6.5 upgrade, / dev/vmmon

I recently updated my build-126130 VMware Desktop 6.0.5 to 6.5.1 and now none of my virtual machines are running.  When I try to start them, I get the following error:

"Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. »

When I looked in the directory/dev, there is no listed vmmon device.

From everything I've read, upgrade worked very well.  The application starts without any apparent problems.  I suspect since all my virtual machines worked really well until I restarted the laptop, there is a problem loading the kernel module.

I'm under openSUSE 11.0.

I liked all the ideas that everyone has.

Kind regards

Jim

Hello

It is sometimes a problem with the new GUI to create modules from the kernel, which is most likely what you're hitting right now.

Have a look here:

http://www.VI-Toolkit.com/wiki/index.php/Build_host_vmware_kernel_modules

This might help a little, the notes are not yet specific SUSE. If the script Christmas help and you had to do something different on SUSE then I would appreciate it if you add a note to this topic.

Thank you

  • HP 6520 will not work after changing the black ink cartridges

    Changed the cartridges and now black ink will not work. This is the second or third time only to change the cartridges - did not have a problem before, but of course, it is while the printer was still under warranty. It is now about a year and a half.

    I used all the suggested diagnosis - head cleaned, head aligned, etc, etc, etc, and nothing has helped.

    The black cartridge worked after the swap, but with a few lines do not print or missing--now produces almost nothing.

    Cartridges color was wonderful at the beginning of the troubleshooting process, but now they're starting to not look right - with spare no effort to correct the print head, he seems to be making it worse.

  • Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

    It shows:

    This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    VMware Workstation 12.1

    Hello

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

    Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

    See also:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

    You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

  • Resumption of the Suspended virtual machine does not work, "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

    Resume a Suspended computer virtual fails with the message "the specified file is not a virtual disk. Tried to go back to the last snapshot fails with the same message "error restoring snapshot: the specified file is not a virtual disk '. '"

    The virtual machine has worked without delivers up to 21/12/2015 while she was snecessary. I often suspend > resume this machine virtual, but for some reason, I am now getting this error. Please help!

    The file unfortunately doesn't look very promising. It seems that the contents were crushed,

    Unless you have a backup, you can try to replace this file with a file 'empty' hard (e.g. copy Windows 7 x 64-000002-s100. ) ( vmdk) that contains only metadata (size = 327 680), to see if this allows you to use the virtual machine again. Note that you will lose all the data stored in the (corrupt) original hard file, and that the virtual machine will probably suffer file system errors. So make sure that you run chkdsk for all partitions in the guest OS.

    In any case, before doing so, I strongly recommend that you back up the existing files of the virtual machine! Once done, it could also be a good idea to run chkdsk for physical training.

    BTW. do you need all the snapshots? With all these clichés and the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machine, the virtual disk consists of files hard ~ 400.

  • Convert physical PC-> virtual machine will not cancel the mouse capture

    Currently using VMWare workstation 8.05 on Win7 x 64.

    I am using since VMware workstation on version 6 with a few problems. All my machines have been created in workstation (installation of the OS, etc.).

    A few months ago, I had an another XP x 32 box which had a POWER failure, and I always wanted to virtualize this area anyway, so I hooked up a spare PSU and stand-alone client to vCenter Converter to convert. Unlike all my other VMs, that seamless capture and cancel the capture of the mouse, this virtual machine will come out only the mouse using Ctrl-Alt, otherwise the mouse stops at the border of the screen.

    I messed with the settings of the virtual machine (although nothing has really made a difference). I have set the floppy drive to automatically detect, I installed VMWare keyboard extended (or whatever it's called) and uninstalled the mouse drivers that were on the machine (did not find records containing these drivers, just them uninstalled from properies of mouse window).

    I would really, really like to get this virtual machine works like the others, as I use it often and my productivity would go up if I didn't have to do deal with this mouse cancel the capture of question.

    Thanks for any help!

    Keith

    Since the Department of totally random ideas: your converted VM by chance he mouse "pointer trails" enabled?  If so, try disabling this option.  We had some users report that the activation of this option somehow the cause of the problem you are experiencing.  Thanks to rob_oli to describe this solution (and providing a screenshot too) in this post.

    See you soon,.

  • Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

    I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

    According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

    Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

  • I use Mac OS 10.4.11 and after downloading firefox 4.0, I get a circle + bar symbol oblique covering the logo of firefox - and it will not work after copy in my applications folder. What is the problem? Had to reinstall 3.6

    I followed the instructions on the screen to download firefox 4.0. After the launch of the dmg image in the window of firefox dmg is the symbol of firefox with a "do not go" symbol on it (for example as a sign of the universal movement for "don't go this way" - red red circle with a diagonal line). "

    Copied on ANYWAY - which was stupid - and he says: "Cannot open the application"Firefox"because it is not supported on this system."

    I couldn't find documentation saying my OS has not been supported by firefox 4.0.

    Is there away around this problem?

    Firefox 4 will not work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    Chkdsk /r

    c. When you are prompted to schedule chkdsk at the next reboot, type 'Y' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    d. restart the computer.

    WARNING:
    Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
