• Random blocking - W510, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

  Hello

  I was faced with a problem in which case my W510 becomes inadmissible at the keyboard or mouse entry and must be restarted. This happens from 4 to 6 times a day.

  I couldn't put my finger on what makes it, then post it here in case others have had similar symptoms.

  I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). The symptom of the hang is as follows:

  -always active mouse pointer can be moved across the screen]

  -(sometimes) the mouse pointer shows the little hand grasping the hand such as the one displayed when you try to move a window (not the normal pointer)

  -ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything, or none of the keys alt - Fx, or ctrl-break etc.

  -they have a USB key connected to ports USB LHS

  -Sometimes the subsequent startup crashes

  -Sometimes the flight caps lock flashes on and outside, but not always

  -There is nothing obvious in/var/log indicating a kernel panic or such other event

  The fact that the problem is w.r.t. a bit sticky at the next boot gives to think it might be an overheating issue, but I don't currently have a way to measure this. Are there tools that monitor CPU temperature and the newspaper?

  I would be interested to know if there is no diagnosis or I can activate traces that might give me a better understanding of what is happening.

  The problem with the resolution that I've connected with has been set using configuration of the display resolution using the Ubuntu default display configuration tool, not the Nvidia tool.

  (BTW: the resolution is 1600 x 900, 1600 x 1200, as I have indicated by mistake).

• ACS 5.3 vmware Workstation Ubuntu

  Hello

  I managed to install ACS 5.3 on vmware 8.0.4 (Ubuntu 12.04).

  I can connect but I have some fatal errors from the server ({0} or 500) when you work wihthin access policies.

  I can not change (or same) selection of selection of unique result of selection of the rule result. That triggered the error message.

  My question:

  VMware workstation is really OK 5.x (I got the same errors with 5.1 and 5.2 even on windows 7 / vmware workstation 9)?

• VMWare Player + Ubuntu 14.04 memory leak

  Hello.

  I have a newly built host Ubuntu LTS 14.04.  I installed VMWare player 6.0.3 build-1895310 64-bit.   The host has a processor i5 and 16 GB of RAM.  I have a Windows 7 VM Pro with 4 GB of RAM allocated to it.  This virtual machine is running video management software which is write about 2 MB/s on the virtual disk.  When I start the VM I see it consume about 4 GB of RAM as expected, but then I notice that Linux (via top) slowly eats away at the remaining RAM.  An hour later and I'm almost out of wired RAM.

  The only solution is of course a restart, as the leak seems to be happening in the kernel or a driver.  I see not a process user-land eating this.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance

  Jim

  After a call with the Global Support VMWare, only it turns out it was my mistake.  It is / was without leaking memory.  For some reason, the kernel has cached of massive amounts of RAM, probably as a result of the use of the heavy drive.  The value 14946256 of my previous post is where the RAM was going.

• Problem installing vmware in Ubuntu 11.10 tools

  I've upgraded from vmware workstation 7 to 8 on a windows 7 pro workstation. I've added to my VM - 11.10 Ubuntu guest. Now I have a problem installing vmware tools.  That's what I did:

  ((1) installed Ubuntu 11.10 CD in the drive, 2) open vmware and Tools CD added to office.  (3) connect you open terminal window.and.  Since I'm new to Linux, I'm stuck on how to set a password.  I type sudo passwd root, and I can't type anything in the window.

  Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  You have two questions unrealated

  (1) with respect to the OS - Ubuntu 11.10 - these shoud guest invited on ubuntuforums.org Creafe a connection there and ask in the beginner's forum.

  Tip - You don't really have need a password for root in Ubuntu.  Use you sudo to run root permisssions wherer programs are needed.  He said on top of each terminal.

  (2) you have any questions on how to install VMware Tools in a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) Guest.  You most certainly need assistance with this.  In the toolbar of the program, you will see a tab called "Help".  It only contained other information you are looking for.

  See the sections on VMware Tools.   They are really useful!

  Tip: You do not use the OS installation disc that you used to create the virtual machine. Look closely under the VM tab at the top. There will be an option in the drop-down list that says "The Install Vmware Tools" you need to select this option.  The insatll will be mounted as if by magic in SLE directory/Media in the comments.  Copy the tarred on this cdrom in / tmp.  Then naviagate (carefully) in / tmp and unpack the file you copied.  Carefully change (look at you spelling - do what I say - not as I do in this post!) to the directoyrf that was created.  Exceute as su (i.e. root - like in the 1 trick.)  the .pl program wiil be contain breast.  Technically, this is called a "script" don't forget to put a. / before the script name or the bad dthing don't know he lives there.  He will ask youj on many issues.  Answer Yes to all these thatg you can.  Most likely, he will say he does not find the gcc compiler (gcc to learn more about the new program of thisbrfand the man.  He complains of missing headers.  Exit the script (Ctrl + c).  Run a progarlm (as root!) called apt - get.  Type the command apt - get install build-esseential.  Thatt is going to install the compiler you need!   Yes still needs to install the header ogical file well! Phew!  The best way I found to do this is to install a nifty program called synaptic. Use apt - get install synaptic.  I think that Ubuntu even comes with a somewahat more easy to program called apt - get it will tell you and have fun there no Super Powers mean if you type an incorrect order!   I digress from the subject.   So, you can use use "sudo aptitude install synaptic l.  Now issue the command uname - r.  He sleeps on the same kernel you use since I use Ubuntu 11.10 asI type while I'm about to uplgrade to the very scary Ubuntu 12.04.  You don't want to do it yourself.

  3.0.0 - 12-Generic

  Now launch Synaptic.  There will be a message the first time on the program expalining.  If you want to see it every time to understand this program if y0ou forget don't check the box saying you don't wang to see this every time.  BTW youi will be asked for your root passworfd to run the program.  Hope you rfemembered it!

  In any case in the search box copy, then paste the result above (one that ends with - generic - but anything copylthe) there will be l be a long list of items, but choose the one that has the string above and the word "headers".  Insatll who.  After all it can return to the order which took end. / pl and run it once more.  Answere questions.  It will end with the encouraging words (you can take advantage of the VMware Tools.  Then, run the command - vmware-toolbox as it says.

  F well there you have it in short.  My price for Linux and Mwar advice is reawsonable please contact me at one of my addresses, alias - [email protected] and we can talk about payment.

  Enjoy

• 7.1.5 VMWare and Ubuntu 11.10 x 64

  Hello. I downloaded the trial version of VMWare for Linux 7.1.5 and tried to install it in Ubuntu 11.10 dreamlike Ocelot (64-bit). Installation went fine, but when I started the program he could not compile or build the kernel modules. Here is the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809532/. Some help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  VMware 7.1 is not compatible with the kernel supplied with 11.10. You need to patch for vmware module sources to compile on that core. Take a look on:

• New to VMWARE: installed Ubuntu 10.4 don't journal with correct password

  Hello community,

  I know this should be taken for the Ubuntu forums, but Ubuntu 10.4 just came out and I can't wait to test drive it. I downloaded VMWare and installed far.

  After you have created an account, I selected the account and by typing my password. As I type the password nothing would show up. I guess that when you type in you password nothing is displayed, not even * then I'm thinking maybe that VMWare does not receive the keyboard input. Has anyone faced this kind of problem?

  The password is correct, I'm sure of that

  Thank you

  -Smart Corey

  In the new Wizard of VM, there is a page where you choose a CD-ROM drive or ISO file to use with easy installation. The last choice is "I'll install the operating system later. Choose this one, and no guest will be installed up until you do it yourself.

• Installation/update of VMWare on Ubuntu on Fusion tools

  I'm using Ubuntu Linux on the merger (latest version), and he tells me that VMWare Tools are not installed. I think they need to update. How to make updates? I Googled it and tried a few commands in the terminal, but do not by far. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Nathan

  Problems with the specific indications "install or upgrading VMware tools in a Linux Virtual Machine from the command line with the Tar Wizard" in the help file for VMware Fusion, is that they are common because not all Linux distributions are the same, and as such, he should be familiar with the different characteristics of each distribution to install VMware Tools on Linux...

  Species, in the old distributions of Linux, that the mount point is usually / mnt still under Ubuntu, the point is/Media editing so you would need to replace by good fully qualified path whether on your particular Linux distribution compared to what it shows in the directions.

  That said, and after reviewing at the output of the Terminal commands, it shows that not only were using the full qualified path wrong do not issue you orders correctly at first and I'm don't know why you would not just extract the installer of VMware via the GUI tar as I suggested earlier and then go forward from the command line.  In any case below the commands in the order that they should appear based on what is typical on Ubuntu.

  After that selection install VMware Tools from the Virtual Machine menu and it is mounted on the Ubuntu desktop (this normally occurs automatically in this distro) open a Terminal and deal with the following commands.

  Note: You will need to check the segment "cdrom0' of the command"tar"to this being safe, it's 'cdrom0' not 'cdrom1' and using an asterisk in the name of archive tar is correct because you don't actually need to use the full name as"VMwareTools - 7.9.6 - 173382.tar.gz.

  cd /tmp
  tar zxpf /media/cdrom0/*.tar.gz
  cd vmware-tools-distrib
  sudo ./vmware-install.pl
  

  Also, point you issue the command 'sudo./vmware-install.pl' and the actual installation process starts after you type your password then from then on, you can simply press Enter for the questions that followed, with the exception of the resolution of the screen if you want it to be something else, then the default value.

  If you have errors or problems be sure to copy and paste the contents of the Terminal Services session to the response unit.

• Help to install vmware on Ubuntu 8.10 ESXi 3.5 tools

  Hello

  I try to get vmware tools installed on a Ubuntu Server that we created in VMware. I found several resources on the internet which mention the use VMwareTool -. tar.gz from the CD-ROM. When I look at the disks we created .iso image that we downloaded, I don't see any VMwareTool -. tar.gz for version 3.5. I have found an old version of VMwareTool-*.tar.gz for version 3.0. However, if I install this on a system, I see that I have installed vmware tools shows as being obsolete.

  Where can I find the VMwareTool-*.tar.gz that will not be exceeded if I install it on a linux machine?

  Thank you

  Eric Lommatsch

  Remove the physical CD. It is a virtual CD-ROM. You can also consult

  dmesg to see how the other the CDROM is presented and edit that one.

  / dev/cdrom1?

• VMWare Tools/Ubuntu 9.04 edition - "Failed to generate the vmhgfs module."

  Because vmhgfs have not built correctly during the installation of VMWare tools, I can't access my VMWare "Shared Folders".

  I tried to create a new virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 2.0.4 (159196) run Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) using the installer of ubuntu - 9.04 - desktop - i386.iso. When creating the virtual machine I HAVE NOT used the "Linux Easy install".

  A blog at http://laptopbisnis.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-904-beta-in-vmware-fusion.html this problem and the solution is to change a line in the file page.c, re - tar file updated the and then restart the installation of VMWare tools. When I try to re-run the installation of VMWare tools, however, I get the following error:

  The following VMware kernel modules were found on your system that have been

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The instructions in the blog worked well to solve the problems of hgfs.

  However, I'd suggest the following sequence:

  a. run vmware - uninstall - tools.pl (if you get what other messages on modules installed)

  b. create the vmware-tools-distrib directory

  c. apply the hotfix according to the directives of the blog page

  d. run vmware - install.pl

  If all else fails, follow the suggestion of the error message to delete the modules 'by hand' and then re-run the installation

• Mouse USB and keyboard problems in VMWare Workstation / Ubuntu 8.10

  I am running VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.5.0 build 118166

  My host is Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27 - 7-generic and I am hosting another instance of the same operating system on the same machine.

  The problem I see is that the keyboard and mouse misbehave / erratic from the host machine. It is a multimedia keyboard 1.1 Microsoft wireless

  There are essentially two problems:

  (1) dedicated cursor keys / pageup / to / home / delete do not work properly. For example, PageUp wants to take a screenshot.

  (2) the mouse seems slow to recognize clicks / trolling. For example, if I click on a tab in Firefox and move immediately, the tab starts to drag. Even if I click on an image and then move the mouse - drag is initiated.

  I tried several combinations of keyboard layout in the case of Ubuntu comments does not. No problems of this nature in the host, or an instance of XP comments.

  Any suggestions?

• May not know how to check the updates of Firefox for Ubuntu

  I'm under "Firefox 3.6.13 Mozilla Firefox for canonical Ubunto - 1.0". How can I verify updates? Here the user manual in the help site says to look for updates in the Help menu article, but there is no such a. I can't find it in the Tools menu or Edit > Preferences. Where he's hiding?

  Your user agent shows the version Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) brand.

  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.13
  

  These versions can only be updated from the repositories via software update and not via Firefox, so you have to check this and expect Ubuntu offers a such update.

  If you want to update yourself you need to install Firefox by downloading the relaes official of the Mozilla server.
