• The blur tool.  I can not get the blur tool to work for me.

  The blur tool.  I used Photoshop for photo editing until 2 years ago.  I just started to use Photoshop again, and I can't get the blur tool to work for me.  I just does not affect the pixels at all.  I think I'm following the correct process for click on the blur tool and then configure the brush to do my procedure of blur.  Help, please.

  Hi Robert,.

  Please do not forget that you work directly on the layer on which is the image you want to blur. Where you work on an empty layer, make sure that your auto to check the ' sample all layers ' (mine is unchecked) property in the top bar.

• Impossible to get files shared, open-vm-tools or vmware tools to work after upgrading Fusion 8

  I just upgraded to Fusion 8 and have been upgrading my VMs accordingly.  I went to install vmware tools as usual on Ubuntu 14.04, and the script or the pop-up said that the preferred method for this OS has been to use instead the open-vm-tools. I installed open-vm-tools, but my shared folders disappeared. I tried to install vmware-tools, since I found an old ad saying that would solve the problem, but he wants to only replace open-vm-tools.  I thought I would try anyway, but the installation fails with errors.  I completely uninstalled vmware tools and restarted open-vm-tools.  It doesn't seem to be a manual for the use of open-vm-tools.

  If open-vm-tools is the preferred method to use ubuntu on vmware, how to bring back all the features (shared folders, etc.)  Why did every upgrade VMware accompanied by pain and hard to find answers?  Or maybe I'm being really stupid.

  (this was originally released by chance in the wrong place.  It is now being published in the Fusion forum)

  OK, I FINALLY got working open-vm-tools on Ubuntu.  I'm not sure that all that was necessary, but here's what I did:

  1. Completely uninstalled vmware tools using the uninstall program
  2. Open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and open-vm-tools-dkms is installed. I am not sure I needed everything, but at least man pages were here who has helped.
  3. At one time I used vmware-user-suid-wrapper, which defined the Office on the appropriate resolution, but is not persisted until I upgraded to Ubuntu.
  4. Updated Ubuntu Studio ot 15.04 Vervet vives.
  5. VMware-hgfsclient will show you what is actually shared by the virtual machine, even if it is not mounted.
  6. To constantly rising stocks, I added the following to the / etc/fstab: "".host: / / mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0 ""
  7. Rebooted and everything works now.

  Given that VMware now recommends that users use open-vm-tools instead of the deprecated vmware-tools, it would have been nice to have brief instructions on how to make the transition, rather than have me spend hours in trial and error until I have to work.

  What do you mean VM does not work?

  It does not start, the operating system does not work, cannot remove the snapshot... what part does not work?

  You can delete VM from the inventory.  Create a NEW virtual machine, punch the config of the hard disk of the computer virtual EXISTING and create a new configuration. Then migrate to move the vmx / vmdk in the same folder, delete the complete original when configuration file.

  You can be here all day trying to solve a vmx file, and it still doesn't work.  Best thing to do is start over with a new configuration.

• Install vmware tools on the linux host offline

  Hello world

  I run a Fedora 10 VM using vmware player 3.1.2 on a crowd of Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install vmware tools, but my host doesn't have access to the internet.  I've seen a few posts on how to install vmware tools offline on a windows host (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/245195), but the advice given may not be valid for linux hosts.  I downloaded vmware-tools-linux - 8.4.4 - 301548.x86_64.component.tar of http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ but this tar file contains a .component file (not an .iso that post said).  My question is what I should do with the .component file to install vmware tools?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi Jordaan,

• VMware-tools backward compatible? hosts of U4 3.5 and 3.5

  I have 10 ESX host servers that were the base 3.5 install, I put 4 update on one or two guests at a time. I'll be quick vMotioning invited around (2 out of 10 are empty at the moment). My question is, when I VMotion over and update of vmware-tools on the guests, are there cautions I need to know?

  I know that I can test it myself, in the short term, but there may be cases where a guest with update of vmware-tools will have to be postponed on a variety of pre - U4 and sat there for 48 to 72 hours and is a production environment.

  Yes, they are compatible back. You can migrate the virtual machine to a host that is not U4 after upgrade vmware tools to release U4.

• conditional logic with vmware tools status

  Hi Guy,

  I am after a few tips here. I try to get a VMware tools State guests. I wrote the below which I think is logical, but doesn't seem to work lol. Maybe I think about this all wrong but any advice is appreciated.

  $VMS = get-VM-name 'some-vm1', 'some-vm2.

  foreach ($objitem to $VMS)

  {

  If ($objitem. PowerState - eq 'Receptor' - and $objitem. (- eq "guestToolsRunning") {Shutdown-VMGuest - VM $objitem - confirm: $false}

  ElseIf ($objitem. PowerState - eq 'Receptor' - and $objitem. ExtensionData.ToolsRunningStatus - eq "guestToolsNotRunning") {stop-VM - $objitem VM - confirm: $false}

  }

  Thank you very much

  Because I think he was part of the code is missing (I added it in red).

  In fact your 2nd condition is a bad property as far as I know. I think we should $objitem. ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsRunningStatus

  The script should be something like this

  $VMS = Get-VM -Name "vm1","vm2" foreach ($objitem in $VMS)
  {
      if ($objitem.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" -and $objitem.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsRunningStatus -eq "guestToolsRunning"){
          Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $objitem -WhatIf -Confirm:$false    }
      elseif ($objitem.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" -and $objitem.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsRunningStatus -eq "guestToolsNotRunning") {
          Stop-VM -VM $objitem -WhatIf -Confirm:$false    }

• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

• Problem with Vmware Studio 2.6 for URL datastore

  Problem:

  When VMware Studio 2.6 completes the deployment of the primary OVF on the data store, it fails when you try to put the WinInstall file on the data store.

  [Warning] Unable to

  Download /opt/vmware/www/build/W2K3_baseline.1/va/192.168.1.179_W2K3_baseline_winInstall.ftp

  to the my_NetApp data store.

  [Warning] %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% 17% failure 18: (22, ' the URL reqested returned the error: 401')

  I went through the debugging file, found the command that failed and I tried to run it manually. The command is the/opt/vmware/share/build/database. When I run this command manually, it fails with the same error.

  I also noticed that all the other/opt/vmware/share/database, iso and other command also fails. Omitting all do for the URL.

  May we make a suggestion as to the cause of this problem?  This problem could be related to a security on the network, the apache setting or the machine?

  Hi, I also had a problem with 2.6 and get the mentioned error (22, ' the URL reqested returned the error: 401') when you create a virtual CentOS machine. In my case, I found that my problem was caused by the stripping of command/opt/vmware/share/build/datastore on the "------" to my domain\userid. I could see what happens when I ran the/opt/vmware/share/build/datastore command with the option - debug. After figure this out, I removed the prefix field of my build settings tab in the profile of my Studio and worked to build.

  A slight concern is the number of sessions of vCenter used by the build process, as during my test that it was more than 40 years. It seems as if some commands can connect to vCenter but not outside. Also I was wondering if the screenshot feature could be the cause as seems to work ~ 4 times per minute?

• Problem with the tool of markup for text editing in Adobe Pro XI on a Mac automatically remove the first character

  When I use the markup of text editing tool, I pointed out a word/phrase/sentence and then start typing in the replacement, the first letter is automatically highlighted and then removed when the second letter is typed. Thus, each word/phrase/sentence I type is missing in his first letter. Very annoying and has just started happening recently.

  Someone else encountered this?

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  I use a Mac.

  Hi LPerkins,

  The issue that you are facing is known for us and a Bug was registered for the same.

• Time synchronization with host ESX to Windows start even if disabled in VMware Tools?

  Hello

  just got in trouble with a freshly installed Windows XP SP3 VM do not apply Active Directory group policies. After some research, I discovered that this happened only with VMware Tools installed.

  With VMware Tools installed, Windows events 1030 and 1097 were generated at each start (the events say that group policy processing has been abandoned and that there is a time difference between the server and the client) and group policies have been applied.

  Without VMware tools, everything was fine.

  After some additional debugging I discovered that the ESXi (4.1) server was not configured with a valid NTP server and the host time was 10 minutes behind. However, as time synchronization between the guest OS and the ESX host has been disabled in VMware tools, I couldn't imagine it was really the cause of the problem. But strangely it turned out that this was indeed the case! At every Windows startup time has been at the time of the host ESX - but only for a few seconds. This can be seen in the attached photo: initially, there are guest operating system time, and then you see the jump both ESX and then jump back to the guest operating system.

  Why does this happen? Hard, I could solve the problem in the first place by configuring the NTP server on the host, I would like to know why VMware tools change the time of the guest OS, even if it is disabled!

  Thank you

  When he put the VM must draw from somewhere and since the AI network time form more that probably not started it must draw from the host, but once the networking appears he died in the NTP source - that's why it is recommended to configure your ESXi (and ESX) to synchronize the time with NTP source.

• VMware tools for windows 98

  I'm fighting for two hours just to find the @$ & #^! VMware tools for Windows 98.

  For admins:

  Is it so difficult to include a link and a line on the site somewhere?

  With so many questions posted here, you already know that you don't have to make it all work automated, so in many cases a manual alternative is the only option.

  After the installation of Windows 98, there was a message that Vmware tools OS installed but I still only 16 colors, 640 x 480 res and an answer that is worse than a slideshow, so I guess that no Vmware tools have been installed.

  I tried some of the ISO images here https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html but they are not accepted for the player or the operating system.

  So, Vmware tools option exists for Windows 98 or not?

  Hello

  you do not have the option:

  Player - manage?  (because theire you might normally before the installation process) to mount the iso,... and so on

  have you tried to mount the Iso local player manually? (not the source vmware Web)

  you have enough disk space?

  Best regards
