• vmrun suspend problem of VMware Player

  I've been using VMware workstation for a while but recently switched to VMware player 3.0, (largely because of the irritating instllation problems for Workstation 6.5.3 under Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64).

  With my computer, I use the vmrun command close all my virtual machines.

  Despite downloading the latest version of Vmware-vix (1.8.1), vmrun suspend & lt; path to the vmx file & gt; generates this error message:

  Unable to connect to the host

  Error: Type of Service VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION

  My reading of the documentation seemed to suggest that vmrun must work with the player as a workstation. Please could someone help me understand what ' I'm missing here?

  Thank you very much

  Enter the code < code > < code > here you use the t on vmrun indicator to indicate that the target is a vmware player? :

  < Code >-T < hostType > (ws| ) Server| server1 | fusion| esx| vc| Player )< code >

  I was able to run suspend with:

  <code>$ vmrun -T player suspend /export/vmware/cmp/cmp.vmx
  
  
  </code>
  

  It is with the version of the player (3.0.0 build-203739) included in VMWare Workstation 7 (on Ubuntu 9.10).

• problem of graphics screen in OSX Mountain Lion - VMWare Player on Windows

  WIndows 7 or Windows XP, when you use VMWare Player with Mac OS X Lion mountains or the Mavericks, there is a problem of graphical layout.

  I noticed this twice already:

  1. in the system preferences when you try to change the personal image for users and groups. You can see your own image, but trying to change the image of the drop-down list page shows only a blank page. Nevertheless, he is content. When you tic on the blank page, you can change the image, but without visual reference.
  2. I tried iWeb Design in Mac OSX Mavericks. The same situation. By choosing a layout you see a blank page, but it is contained. Try adding that an image or a text always results in a blank page on the screen.

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

• VMware player 5 - connection in bridge problem

  Hi all!

  I am writing because I have a very big problem with the network bridged in Vmware player 5.0.2. No matter what I do it just would not work. NAT and host options only work very well and there is no problem with them. My NIC has vmware bridge Protocol, 'automatic connection settings' and "virtual network editor" is set on this particular card. The only thing I can think is firewall (Norton 360) that can block the connection but all of the vmware software components are allowed to work and NAT service works, so I don't know if this could be the case. I would be very grateful for any advice.

  I have attached the PDF with screenshots showing my configuration. 

  
  

  Norton PS options are in Polish, but they essentially say that Vmware is allowed and that inbound netBIOS' / netBIOS name "communication and communication incoming/outgoing ICMP is blocked.

  P.S in case of faults of vocabulary and that I'm sorry. p

  No, NIC in the host is virtualized / ripped off by the monitor of machine virtual and presented to the customer in a standard way - always cable.  It doesn't matter if the host is using wired or wireless.  Was just letting you know that you can use specific tools wireless in your guest on a virtual NETWORK adapter in this way.  The only way to get into a wireless client is to use a USB wireless adapter and attach that to the guest.  There will of course have to then the drivers for the USB NIC you use.

• Problems with VMware Player

  Can someone help me please?

  I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

  Question 1: I get the following error message:

  "Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

  You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

  I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

  Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

  Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  I don't know, but what you can try is to:

  1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

  2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

  If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

• VMware Player keyboard mapping problem

  Hello

  I use VMware Player on an ASUS laptop with windows 8, and when I open the VMware Player for windows server 2008 R2 I have a problem with the keyboard mapping, for example:

  u > 4
  I have-> 5
  o > 6
  p > *.
  j > 1
  k > 2
  l > 3

  If I hit the key VMware player poster 4 u.

  Can you help me solve this problem?

  I really appreciate your help.

  Post edited by: wila, changed 'keyword' in "keyboard" to make more people understand the problem in reading the title of the topic.

  @abirhasan, how is this going "look at what's new" to help him? What I see out there, there is not a known issue?

  @javier, I guess you know that on an asus these keymappings means that the keypad is enabled via numlock?

  It is most likely going to be enabled/disabled via holding the fn key and another key...

  Basically this problem:

  The question now is if your asus laptop has a num lock key to change this? (It is more likely, the problem is that it is)

• Migration of VMware player for ESXi strike SCSi problem

  Hello

  I'm just a newbee with VMware.

  First, I installed Centos 6.2 on VMware Player.

  Then I download the Virtual Machine on Esxi5 U1 directory using the VMware client. (not the converter)

  Then I tried to use the VHD with creating new virtual machine on ESXi.

  But I got an error with scsi controller when I turn on the machine verual. (i.e. apparently guest OS cannot handle the controller scsi.)

  I tried all types of (e.g., LS logical parallel) scsi controller in the choice, but all are omitted.

  Is there someone like a solution for this problem.

• Problem installing VMware Player

  I wanted to install VMware Player for some time, but whenever I tried to install it on my computer, I found a bug in the installation script.

  Have experience you this problem?  What are my options for installation?

  Do yourself a huge favor and change the MS beast by default folder %TEMP%.  Remove the user folder-specific and TMP % environment variables so just leave the system those - who are the shortest paths and don't contain strange characters, which will often screw up installers.

  -copy of VMware-player - 3.1.2 - 301548.exe in c:\temp

  -executes the command "c:\temp\VMware-player-3.1.2-301548.exe/e c:\temp\player".

• problems installing XP using vmware player

  I used vmware for some time, but just re - install my virtual XP environment.

  My host PC is running win7pro_32bit and I use vmware player (v4.0.0 build-471780)

  When I go to start the installation (from CD using CD I used to build PCs in the past, but never in vmware), I see an error

  "CDBOOT: couldn't find NTLDR.

  I'm guessing that my winXP disk might be shot, but I can't believe (seems ok)... is it possible that I missed an obvious step?

  I have attached a log if that helps?

• Problems of network running Slackware 3.5 under VMWare Player 3

  I'm trying to run an old version of Slackware (3.5) to the title of the latest version of VMWare Player. I don't have the PC that it ran on more, but I'm sure he didn't have a PCI bus (that is to say, the NIC was ISA), and I noticed that this version of Slackware is an order of 'lspci' (when I tried to force installation of the vmware tools). The core of Slackware seems to work very well, I can't get the network to configure. I guess this is because VMWare player will not emulate an ISA bus... is this true? I tried to play with the different options in the .vmx file, but I can't find a list of all valid options for the parameters. Does one exist?

  I don't necessarily need the network features, except that without it or vmware tools share folders, I don't know how to extract data from the guest system. I can get it via CDROM, but not on.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• Portege R - 400 3 G modem freezes VMWare Player 3.0 in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have a problem following needs your help.

  I have a Portege R-400 with 3 G build-in modem. It is installed Windows 7. All is well until I install the VMWare Player 3.0.

  Without modem 3G connection, each application still works fine. (I use WiFi most of the time.)

  When I'm not in measure use WiFi and connect with 3G, without starting VMWare Player, the system freezes within 5 to 20 minutes.

  The symptom is without any response to the keyboard and mouse, but can see HD light flashing.

  Then, I'll try Virtual PC from microsoft. He may have the same problem, too.

  It will be very appreciated if there is no solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much!
  Mike

  Dear Mike is a rather complicated question. I mean Toshiba muss well deliver books and work with the factory settings, everything should work fine.
  If you use some third-party software of the part and if something goes wrong, it can be really complicated.

  Who is responsible for support here?
  I hope that someone on this forum has exactly the same specifications, the setting, the operating system and additional software like you and can help you with this.

  The VMware FAQ details the requirements for VMWare.
  
  http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html
  
  The processor and RAM already exceed requirements, so it shouldn't have a negative effect on performance. VMWare Player will not affect on real hardware. This depends on the version of Linux used because it must be enough RAM for the host (Windows 7 64-bit) operating system and the guest OS (Linux). 4 GB of RAM should be plenty for the operating systems run, but you can find some RAM intensive programs may have reduced performance. For most programs, this shouldn't be a problem.
  
  Other virtualization technologies require virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. However, the FAQ does not mention this. If this does not work and you receive an error on activation, then enable it in the BIOS.
