• How to install VMware tools correctly on Linux Mint 15 cinnamon on Fusion 5.0.3

  Hello

  First of all, I understand that Linux Mint is not supported (side: anyone know if this will change?), so I appreciate any help.  My main problem is with the folders shared

  Dead ends

  So far, I've run into some dead ends:

  1. I watched install VMware Tools in Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (Olivia) - YouTube - but this facility has been the "'VMware Workstation 9.0.2 ' and the author admits"I don't know if it works or not with the fusion." "

  2 I downloaded a a copy of the latest vmwaretools for linux of deposit of CDS - /www/stage/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/5.0.3/1040386/packages only to find it was exactly the same as the package vmwaretools this merger gives me at least VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893383
  

  Some success

  I had some mild success by running the following commands before installing - it seems to stop error messages:

  apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install build-essential
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
  sudo apt-get install xinetd
  

  But my MAJOR PROBLEM IS...

  When I try to activate the shared folders while the guest is running, I see a message:

  

  Or if I turn on shared folders when the guest does NOT work, I don't get an error message - but I don't see either record hgfs under/MNT

  Other research

  I read can't see the shared folders in Linux guest (Windows host) and Re: sharing files on drive betw host and the guest does not work on Ubuntu 13.04 and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:

  user@GNS3WB62 /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ ./vmtoolspatch

  To install VMware Tools type the following
  commands, pressing Enter after each:
   
   
  cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
  sudo ./vmware-install.pl
  

  But after the installation of the VMware shared folders tools has not always worked.

  My plea

  Someone has successfully shared folder with Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs) invited 5.0.3 fusion and if so could you share the steps that you used?

  My system Details

  I tried this using VMware Fusion 5.0.3 in both a

  MacMini running Lion Server (OS X 10.7.5) 2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a

  MacBook Pro running 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo 8 GB DDR3 (OS X 10.8.4) Mountain Lion

  I have only this tried using Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs)

  Well, starting with the basic installation created by using the linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-nocodecs-32bit.iso image under VMware Fusion 5.0.3 I did the following.

  sudo apt - get install linux-headers-$(uname-r)

  sudo ln-s/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname-r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname-r)/include/linux/version.h

  Excerpt from vmtoolspatch.zip in my Home Directory.

  Excerpt from the VMware Tools VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893683.tar.gz to: / tmp

  Open a Terminal, by default, the base directory, then:

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $. / vmtoolspatch

  patch the file driver.c

  patching file inode.c

  To install VMware Tools, type the following command

  commands, pressing ENTER after each:

  CD/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

  sudo./VMware-install.pl

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $ cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

  wkz@linuxmint15x86nc/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ sudo./vmware-install.pl

  Once VMware Tools have been installed, I rebooted and had access to the VMware shared folders.

  So it works with the basic install however I do not run apt - get update then apt - get upgrade or use one kernel other then the default.  So once the changes then the scrip may not work and I don't have time to test each variable and am just trying to give some automated solution just to make it easier to patch based on what is said in the Notes section in the script.  Really don't want to maintain it and others can build on this and or do something similar.

  Make sure that the stamp of Date/time on the file vmtoolspatch is Jul 15 00:04:00 2013 as who has worked with this test.

• Manage virtual networks in vmware player on Linux Mint

  Hi all

  Can someone point out how manage virtual networks on the Vmware player on Ubuntu/Linux mint?

  It would have been more useful if you had included the VMware Player version and the version of the host operating system that you are using!

  Since you didn't say what version of VMware Player or a version of the host OS, I can only say what follows if applies to what I the test and this is VMware Player 5.0.2 under Ubuntu 13.04.

  In a Terminal, run the following command (Tip: copy / paste, as is, to avoid typos.):

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  Now to bring up the virtual network editor use the following command in a Terminal:

  sudo vmware-netcfg

  Note that you can get an error message similar to the following:

  (vmware-netcfg: #): IBUS-WARNING *: the owner of /home/$USER/.config/ibus/bus is not root! »

  This seems to be a bug , but I do not think that this will affect the actual use of the virtual network Editor.

• "Connection server failed" constantly popping up on sites popular randomly and unable to use FF on Linux Mint 17.1

  As above, websites at random and many of those that I use, say "Connection server failed" and then I can't even go to the Web site. I use FF 35.01 on Linux Mint 17.1. This has never happened before... Pages work fine on another device or Chrome!

  I checked the link you gave me, but none of the error messages that are matched. So, I googled the error message, and he apparently had to do with the date of my computer. The date was one day! And what to do with some https sites... Here is how I fixed / solved my problem:

• Card nvidia, Linux Mint and W520?

  I'm on a W520 possessing a videocard of nvidia Quadro 1000 m, running Linux Mint 17 xfce (64-bit)

  Recentley, I came across a situation that required OpenGL 3.3. Best I can tell, my card intel integrated can support above 3.1!

  So I went to try to get the nvidia card work. Note to all the world at this point... Installation of the nvidia proprietary drivers directley Apparentley is the worst thing to do.

  I went to install the drivers of bumblbee (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee) and have since been frusterated with an nvidia card not working.

  I went to the cat bourdon, scourd the web for my problem, tried to re - install on a fresh USB... Nothing works.

  Has ANYONE else been in this situation? What are the steps that you took to get a functional nvidia card?

  Heres a dump of information from my problems. Basically, running glxgears optirun does not work.

• VMWare Workstation 8 and 9

  I can install Workstation 8 and 9 on the same PC (Windows XP SP3 home edition).

  Reason:

  I have a VM that work perfectly on Workstation 8 and I buy upgrade and update Workstation 8 to 9 of the workstation to create a new Virtual Machine with Windows 8.

  This new machine works fine, but the old machine did not start with the following message:

  "This virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware Workstation. Contact your system administrator. »

  I use all of the solutions found on the community, but all have failed and is important for me to use this old virtual machine.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can install only one version of workstation on your computer.

  Have you tried to create a new virtual machine in the workstation 9 and configure it to use the old existing VMDK from the virtual machine to see if it boots?

  No, but you can use different components in the available packages which are Open Source however the necessary basic elements for virtualization are not Open Source or a part of the Open Source packages available.  Suggest you read VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and player 4.0.2 Open Source License for more details.

• VMware workstation 8 and visualization

  Hi all

  I just downloaded the trail for vmware workstation 8 and wanted to try the option of viewing with one of my virtual machines created.  I read that now, this option is only for modern processor. my processor is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 which has the set of instructions VT - x visualisation. When I enable the option for my virtual machine I get the following error message "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT requires the support of Intel VT-x/EPT platform" I have this option enabled in my BIOS and have one of the most up-to-date versions of the BIOS for my motherboard.

  It of just my CPU not supported by vmware or is there some kind in order to get this to work with my setup?

  Thank you

  My computer specs:

  Windows 7 pro SP1

  Intel Core 2 Quad [email protected]

  4 GB of ram

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  GeForce 8800 GTX 512 MB

  The Core 2 processors have no support of EFA.  It takes EPT to virtualize VT - x.

• [Solved] Possible to enroll the workstation via the command line (Linux)?

  Hi all:

  Under Linux Mint or Ubuntu, the ToolTip that should allow me to save the product key just won't display, making me unable to use the program. Normally, the system should ask me a root password after I click to enter, but nothing happens here, and I can't find a problem in any log file (by clicking on the option adds nothing in the newspaper at all). I try this on a new brand operating system installation and using the installer to update from the Web site.

  Is it possible that I could fix this, or as asking the question, save the product via the command line key instead?

  Thank you!

  Is it possible that I could fix this, or as asking the question, save the product via the command line key instead?

  In a Terminal, use the following command and use your real serial number instead of the fake one which is indicated.

• Firefox sync (Linux Mint 17.02)

  Hey there! I tried to set up Firefox sync. Remove the .mozilla folder in my home directory synchronization does not work yet to reinstall Firefox several times. I tried to use Firefox 41.02 and 42.0.
  The sync connection is successful and Firefox tries to sync (blue circle), but nothing happens. When you go to about: preferences #sync, then to 'Manage', it takes a while to load before you get an "unexpected error".
  I'm trying to sync between my laptop and my desktop, the two Linux Mint 17.02.

  Any suggestions?

  Your first journal suggests synchronization completed. It has a few warnings bookmark weird and disturbing, but otherwise it's okay.

• Since the update to Thunderbird worm. 41 it is fixed as the preferred application for browsing the web in Linux Mint 17.2?

  What could be the cause of Thunderbird to set as the favorite in Linux Mint 17.2 browser client. If I reset it to Firefox, the next time I open Thunderbird, it still resets the preferred setting Thunderbird client. When I open Firefox, it pops up a window saying that this isn't the default browser, asking if I want to change. When I click Yes, any link I clicked in Thunderbird previously will now appear in new tabs.

  How can I fix it?

  Linux Mint just put update to Firefox_41.0 + linuxmint2 + rafaela and now Firefox works fine with Linux Mint.

It is said that it is not available for my platform. However on my Windows computer it says that this version is not supported. In the comments of this page in someone explained workaround. You need to download the add-on, rename the .zip extension, unzip it and copy the files unpacked in C:/Program Files/Mozilla Thunderbird/dictionaries. I did and it worked!

  Is it possible to do a similar thing with Thunderbird for Linux Mint?

  4. unzip the
  5. in this new folder as you open dictionaries folder and copy all the files you have there
  6 open your file manager and go to/usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries
  7 stick y files you just cope, you do need to root premison to do so then right click in the window > open as root and then paste it

  That's it, you'll have dictionaries for Firefox and Thunderbird.
