VMware-config - tools.pl detects headers kernel version @@VMWARE @ UTS_RELEASE
VMware Workstation 6.5.5 - build 328052 running on Windows XP.
My Ubuntu 10.10 VM gave me a guest this morning that the installed VMware tools are updated. So I started the upgrade process.
Installation seems to go very well up to this point:
The installation of the VMware Tools 7.8.8 328052 build for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/ usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before you run VMware Tools for the first time, you must configure it by
calling the following command: "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
This program to invoke the command for you now? [Yes]
I get lots of warnings of this type:
insserv: WARNING: script 'K01acpi-support' missing LSB tags and substitutions
The script you are trying to call has been converted to an upstart
Job, but lsb-head is not supported for the jobs of Upstart.
insserv: WARNING: script 'alsa-mixer-save' missing LSB tags and substitutions
insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming that start empty runlevel (s) for the script "alsa-mixer-save '.
insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming that stop empty runlevel (s) for the script "alsa-mixer-save '.
The script you are trying to call has been converted to an upstart
Job, but lsb-head is not supported for the jobs of Upstart.
And then it's time to compile the modules:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/ usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic/include
The directory of the kernel headers (version @@VMWARE @ UTS_RELEASE) does not match
your running kernel (version 2.6.35 - 24-generic). Even if the module
compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
For the record:
root@Ubuntu:~# uname - a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.35 - 24-generic #42 - Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 01:41:57 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
So how the VMware Tools config script can be educated to detect the correct version of the kernel headers?
Thank you
Alex
Hello Alex,.
I hope that what follows will help you get a little further with the installation of vmware on your Linux prompt tools.
# Needed for the construction of the kernel modules
sudo apt - get install build-essentials
# Chdir to the directory correct wrt to your kernel running headers
CD/usr/src/linux - headers-'uname - r' / include/linux
# Add the utsreleases missing in the version.h file info
Cat /generated/utsrelease.h > version.h
# The build of vmware tools script also wants access to the file autoconf.h, so set up a symbolic link
ln - s... /generated/autoconf.h
Now you can install VMware tools using the: /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
Note that if some modules does not compile, you will need to find a patch for them. Use google and these forums for patches to vmxnet and al.
Kind regards
Mary

Implementation with a new VM FC18 on a host Windows 8 I can't get shared folders to work. After investigation, I noticed that vmware-config - tools.pl runs without error, except for the following:
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
do: enter the directory "/ tmp/modconfig-Mmwoe6/vmhgfs-only.
/ bin/make /lib/modules/3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64/build/include/ - C... SUBDIRS = $PWD SRCROOT = $PWD. \
MODULEBUILDDIR = modules
make [1]: Entering directory ' / usr/src/kernels/3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64'
do: after you have entered a unknown directory
make: * variable name empty. Stop.
do: leave a unknown directory
make [1]: * [_module_/tmp/modconfig Mmwoe6/vmhgfs-only] error 2

make: * [vmhgfs.ko] error 2
make: leaving directory ' / tmp/modconfig-Mmwoe6/vmhgfs-only.
I checked the directory is valid as such:

firmware crypto Arch include CPI core samples Makefile Module.symvers File System.map usr vmlinux.id security
block pilots fs init Kconfig lib mm net scripts tools his virt
I've been struggling with this for awhile and I really appreciate all or hunting for a solution. Thank you.
To answer my own question; I had to reinstall my kernel-devel package to make it work:
[promp] t # yum reinstall kernel-devel
[quick] # cp /usr/src/kernels/3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64/build/include/linux/
[quick] # /bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
And now my shared folders work!

I updated the kernel, now when I run vmware-config - tools.pl, I get the attached result ending in "abandoned Execution." Ideas?
Thanks, Mike
This does not happen with newly released patches.
If you are not ready to upgrade the latest patches of the ESX host, you can also try to force load modules or try to recompile all modules by using the command "" vmware-config - tools.pl - compile ".
The other (crude) way is to get the last iso linux tools of any other host ESX-4 (with the latest patches) and goes up on the virtual machine and proceed with the installation.

Every night of Ubuntu does not connect (crashes and doesn't stop not withouyt one kill pkill or root) with Ubuntu 11.10 and the recent 3.0.0 - 17-generic kernel
11.0 Firefox still works in the same kernel version and I use it now. The source of the problem is perhaps the core Ubuntu since 3.0.0 - 16 core gave no problem
Hello
Please also check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is correct, you can later copy the necessary personal data of the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in a different location (folder profile) separated from its files/folder. A new profile would default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and topic: config ) and usually also would be vacuum of Extensions and themes (appearance) in tools > Add-ons) and their parameters. In addition, a new profile would have no previous website stored data/settings etc, (Tools > clear recent history).

Plugin check detects not new version of Flash
Plugin check reports Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.209 is vulnerable and the action is "update now".
After you install 18.0.0.232 twice and firefox closed and opened several times, checking the plugin fails to detect the new version and still says 'vulnerable' - 'update now '.
Thank you...
Checked again this morning and it was fixed or perhaps restarting the pc is necessary.

Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T. I just need to download the SENT MESSAGES, Inbox not only.
Re: Where is 'account settings '.
If you do not see 'Tools', then you do not have your active 'Menu Bar'.
See picture below on the activation of all the toolbars make life easier.Different methods of location of the 'account settings ':
Via the toolbar "Menu Bar":- Tools > accounts settings
Through the pane of folders:
- Right-click on the name of the e-mail account in the folders pane, and then select "settings".
Via "Menu Icon.
- Menu icon > Options > account settings
Re: I need to download sent Messages Inbox not only.
E-mail accounts IMAP see a remote view of the files on the server.
You subscribe to view these folders in Thunderbird.
You synchronize directories subscribed for a copy in Thunderbird.
What you do in a folder for example imap: delete, will occur on the server, so viewing via webmail or Thunderbird folders appear identical.However, in your case, it seems that you have created a POP e-mail account.
E-mail POP accounts can only connect to Inbox server and download server Inbox for the Thunderbird Inbox pop e-mail account.
It's not a quirk of Thunderbird; This is how all Pop mail represents the work.There is a work around to get "sent" in the folder mail sent from server in Thunderbird. You just do it once, because when you send it through Thunderbird, it will put the e-mails in the folder sent TB pop mail account and not on the server.
Thunderbird creates a "Sent" folder when first send you an email.
So, if you have not yet sent an email, please send one, even if only to yourself.Then, move all inbox emails in the appropriate folders.
You can create new folders to organize them.How to create a new folder:
- Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "new folder."
- Give an appropriate file name and click "create a folder".
When the Inbox is empty:
- Logon to the Web e-mail account by using a browser.
- Move all emails "Sent" in the "Inbox".
In thunderbird:
- Click on 'Get the message'
all the "Sent" emails must get downloaded from the server Inbox anto your Inbox in Thunderbird.
- Then move all your emails in the 'Sent' Thunderbird folder.
You should now have all these emails downloaded from the server and display in Thunderbird.

A more recent version of this page was detected, the new version will be charged
OK, so I downloaded the editable files with reigions and everything was working fine then the customer made some minor changes.
The customer wanted other changes that should be made to the file, so I download the last file on the server, edited, then re uploaded.
Then the same page that I uploaded that I'll edit continues to make this message "has detected a newer version of this page, the new version will be loaded," he then re-loads the page, but when I hit Edit again once, the same message appears... '
To make it work. I had to duplicate page, rename it to index2.html, then delete the original index.html file and make the index.html file in duplicate and it works fine...
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
I had this problem and made me crazy for several days. I think that the problem is related to a question of the time stamp (if you work in another time zone that the host/Adobe servers, the servers will be think that the file is new up to several hours have elapsed, i.e. when your modification time corresponds to the time of the local server). My solution is to stop using my FTP 3rd party program and start using the built-in FTP of Dreamweaver.

Still no network config tool for Linux?
It doesn't seem to be a Player 3.1 + to Linux network configuration tool. I've seen several threads referencing this need (or rather than the tool is now missing but once existed). The last comment (question) on this subject was in May 2010.
I realize that player account is free, so I don't expect VMware's priority attention; However, if it is not resolved, I, like others, go out and examine options not VMware for virtualization in Linux. But since the construction of a very effective, data center performance on ESX a few years ago, I was a fan of VMware products.
Why are there no network - vmware-config.pl more?
Thank you very much!
Michael
Do not know why the vmnetcfg tool has been removed in VMplayer 3
For now, you can use this nasty workaround:
Uninstall vmplayer
Download the last workstation - full version
Install it
run without license
This may block the virtual machines running via the vmware.exe - GUI, but it will allow the use of vmplayer
and this time, the tools, the required as vmnetcfg and vdiskmanager module are installed and working

Sorry, but I have a problem to install it, because my NETWORK card is not in the list of installation. Then I would try to compile the drivers.
It could be like Linux 2.6.x, but I would be sure.

Question about several popular vm with the same kernel version
So, I have been informed that ESX is smart enough for to run several virtual machines with the exact same kernel that it loads only one instance of the kernel in memory for all of them so that it saves space in RAM. This seems quite remarkable to me, and I'd like to see if VMWare has any white papers or other documents on this. I'd like to believe it's true, but it seems incredible to believe.
Is this really how ESX functions? If I have 10 XP SP3 machines with the same level and exact same version of the kernel patch, VMWware won't really load only one instance of the core XP in RAM to separate the 10 machines? If he does that, how handles when 10 machines all want access to the same statement in kernel mode at the same time separate?
Welcoem to the Forums - ESX will actually 10 instances of the core of the customer even if they are the same OS - but once loaded using Transparent Page Sharing the vmkernel (the o/s of the ESX Server) can recognize identical pages and store them a time-read only memory - if the virtual machine tries to write to that page a copy and writing is done - if this new page is another page in memory that one instance is maintained. This saves a TON of memory-
