• VMWare Workstation 12 and 18 of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 16.04) and vmware tools or open-vmware-tools

  I created a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 12.1.1 build-3770994 with a guest OS from Linux Mint 18 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04). I have two monitors on my system, the two 2560 x 1440. I am unable to get this virtual machine Linux Mint 18 to cover all of my two monitors when I disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my vm settings, I get an error. I have another Linux Mint 17 VM running on the same VMWare Workstation 12 on the same host machine from Windows 10 and it is able to expand on my two monitors very well with "Accelerate 3D graphics" disabled, but he does not open-vmware-tools.

  I have read instructions telling me to install open-vm-Tools-Office in this guest operating system of Linux Mint 18. I did it. Then I restart the guest operating system. When starting, I can click on 'Enter full screen mode' in my menu of VMWare Workstation, and the guest OS has a monitor as expected. When I then click on "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the following error. "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected screen layout. If you add a monitor to the host computer, you must turn off and turn on the virtual machine to use this monitor. »

  

  I can optimize my VM to automatic adjustment, only one of my two screens, but not both. I tried to uninstall and reinstall open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and restart. I tried to use /vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl's original vmware tools and who does not work either.

  In my vmware.log, I get these two lines that occur when I get the above error.

  When I activate "Accelerate 3D graphics" with the configuration described above, I am able to use both of my monitors. Why is this the case?

  I think remember having to disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my Linux Mint 17 comments vm because it would crash randomly. I try to run this VM Linux Mint 18 with 3D acceleration and see if it crashes, but why is there a difference with spanning multiple monitors?

  Thank you.

  I didn't experience this problem for a few weeks. I don't have a definitive answer to my original problem.

  I installed Mate instead of cinnamon 3 to my MINT 18. Then, I created a new VM with Ubuntu Gnome 3 16.04 running as the OF. I did have problems with both approaches. I also tried using Firefox as my main browser instead of Chrome, as I read that Chrome can have problems of memory. It could be a combination of several of these changes that have allowed me to work without problems.

  Knowing what I know now, I think the move away from cinnamon 3 is what seems to have fixed my problems. I can certainly say that you use Firefox consumes less memory, as I can monitor the monitor system under Ubuntu. Chrome would eventually eat all my system memory, that I could see. The extent of the why? I'm not sure at this point.

• Windows 10 no internet comments on VMWare Workstation 10 and 11

  Hello

  I have a Windows 10 comments on my Web host pro 8.1.

  With one of the latest updates of windows 10 (guest), there is no internet available.

  My other guests (< w10) - all filled as well - work very well.

  Hoping to solve, I have improved my VMWare Workstation 10 to 11, but it did not help.

• Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

  Hello

  I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

  I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

  Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

  This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

  My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

  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?

  Sorry if I post in the wrong Thread.

  There are a few days ago a user had problems with 64-bit VM too well that VT has been activated. Perhaps the cause (and the resolution/workaround) are the same.

  According to Re: comments 8 and 64-bit Workstation bits in the vmware.log indicate that VT - x is turned on.

• VMWare Workstation, VM and Acronis TruImage question converter?

  Ask a question about the latest version of VMWare Workstation V.  7.1.3 along with the latest version of the VM converter. This version has it can import an Acronis TruImage 10 (.tib) file and change it to a virtual machine. I tried this Win7, WinVista and WinXP running without success.

  VMWare VCenter Converter Standalone v.  4.3.0 when used to try to convert a backup returns TruImage 10 "source parameters are invalid", but does not offer a method of changing the settings of the source.

  During an attempt to 'import' TruImage 10 files in VMWare Workstation v.7.1.3 the conversion wizard returns a "failed to load the VM source or image." The file may be corrupt, or a format not supported. »

  The image files are not corrupt and TruImage backup and restore work correctly with files tested image. Rooms chat VM mention some possible solutions, but they are long and not really practical long term since VM wants to work with these images.

  A someone that has tried these conversions and found a successful solution.

  Thank you

  That's right, that the converter does not support certain versions of Acronis.

  of http://www.vmware.com/support/converter/doc/conv_sa_43_rel_notes.html

  Acronis True Image Echo 9.1, 9.5 and Acronis True Image 10.0, 11.0 (product Home)

  With versions not supported (such as 2010 and 2011), you can follow the suggestion of continuum.

• VMWare Workstation 8 and/or Windows XP Mode

  Level of experience:: I am an expert on ESXi but know almost nothing on my computer.  I bought 6 Workstation and got a free upgrade to 6.5.  I created a virtual in Windows 2000 Server machine that our accounting is on and the accountant can join.  I just was clicking the shortcut VM since 2008 button to start the virtual machine.  I have heard of the unit, but do not completely understand.  I also know nothing about another XP mode that what I saw in a video online.  I know it is possible to install Workstation and Windows XP Mode, but the two cannot be active at the same time.

  The situation:  I have a new computer Dell laptop, M6600 w/i7 and Windows 7 64 Pro.  My old laptop has XP Pro 32.  I hae a development environment that I use which is 32 bits, but also uses some 16-bit utilities.  They have newer versions of the software, but it is less productive, and the old software generates 32 and 64 bit apps more efficiently, with fewer bugs and run much faster than my Microsoft .NET languages.  So, I maintain about 3 million lines of code in this language.  I have to say to anyone that is trying to maintain current information in two places and never have what it takes with you, so I want to move everything to the new laptop.  I need to be able to P2V and bring in the servers from client to the prototype network changes prior to deployment.  My ESXi boxes are through the VPN, so I need to do on the spot, and my laptop is what I bring to clients.  The new laptop has a quad i7 with 32 GB of RAM, 1 1/4 TB of disk space, consisting of a Crucial M4 512 GB SSD and Seagate Momentus 750, and eSata 3 and 3 USB ports.  Virtual machines will fall under Windows servers, Unix servers, and sometimes ESXi with UNIX VMs, which I know will be slow under the virtualized ESXi.

  Thoughts:  What first reading it sounded like XP Mode would be transparent and that the C drive of the XP Mode is drive C of the host.  I have since read this is not the case, and that it is just a virtual machine with its own virtual hard disk.  I learned that when you install an application in XP Mode, it appears on the menu Windows 7 64 start, and when you launch it, the application is running in a window on the Windows 7 Desktop, almost as if it were a native application in Windows 7.  It would be nice instead of dealing with another office.  Workstation, said it allows to import the virtual machine XP Mode, but can only run one copy at a time.  I thought that disappointment, that I would need to run more than one old app at a time, but then I thought about it, and I guess in XP mode, they are simply short several app out of the virtual machine even with XP Mode also.  If I could get the same behavior integrated 8 workstations that I can with the XP Mode, then I would reflect the OS disk to the new computer on a hot spare, install XP mode copy on the virtual machine, install the original disks, set up 8 Workstation, re-import the virtual hard drive in my computer and delete the virtual hard disk.  Then I wouldn't need to have two virtual environments that cannot play together.

  Issues related to the:
  1 Workstation 8, can I have applications in the menu start of Windows 7 64 embarking inside a virtual machine, without showing the desktop of the guest operating system, like I can with Windows XP Mode?  If the answer is Yes, it runs automatically launch the virtual machine where the app?
  2. If the answer to the point 1 is Yes, it is Windows XP Mode have all the advantages for me who don't Workstation 8?

  Thanks TONS!

  Workstation is not automatically add apps to the start menu of the host, but you can make them yourself.  When the virtual machine is in the mode of the unit, use the launch of the unit menu to navigate the start menu of the guest. Right click on the application shortcut and select 'Create shortcut on the desktop.'  You can also run the application, click its button on the taskbar, and then PIN to the taskbar.  You can then run the application later using these shortcuts, and workstation will start the virtual machine and Unity mode if necessary.

• VMWare Workstation 7 and ESXi

  Hello

  I just started testing Workstation 7 on the Linux host and noticed in the selection of the platform the ESX.

  I played a bit with ESXi a while back but necessary that the machine for another job.

  Now I wonder, is it possible to run ESXi in WS - it would be great to hear.

  Best regards

  Kari

  ... would be great to hear.

  In fact, it is precisely for this reason that it is available.

  You need to have a processor 64-bit and VT - x enabled in BIOS in order to run ESX (as well as other guests of 64 - bit) as a comment system.

  If you want to run nested in the ESX VM guests you must change the vmx file according to nested VMs running

• The host VMware workstation and multi-core CPU

  Apologies if this has already been answered, but all my research to turn questions about processors how can specify in a virtual machine. It's not what I'm after here.

  I want to know is the use of VMware workstation (v6 and v7) is available on a multi-core worksation host physical cores.

  I have a scenario where we have several virtual machines containing sensitive coding environments. The material that they are on is a little old and we don't have the time or the knowledge to recreate systems (a combination of Matlab, DSpace and some custom coding). Our only option (and we did it for a couple with success so far) is to create virtual machines of these workstations.

  Which is absolutely essential for us is the material we choose VMs on host. Virtual machines will use simple/double/processors virtual.

  In order to choose the correct hardware platform, I need to know if VMware workstation is running an instance of the virtual computer within a single processor (in this case is the reduced performace?), or if there are multithreaded and make the most of the hardware it will run on.

  (We are not welcome, never more 2 virtual machines at the same time)

  Any suggestions on material would be appreciated also. I think of something based around a core of Xeon 4-6 with 12-16 GB of RAM.

  Thank you very much

  Correct, for laboratory/debugging and interaction VM Workstation is pretty good.

• Re: Satellite keyboard Funtions vs. VmWare Workstation

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum...
  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-115.
  After you install all the programs I need, I noticed that the eco and the start/stop button lights buttons didn t work anymore.

  I uninstalled programs Toshiba - nothing works. So I installed win 7 pro x 64 again.
  Buttons worked!!

  I discovered that vmware workstation 6 and 7 are at the origin of this problem.
  As soon as I install the vmworkstation software the keys won´t work.
  Uninstall--> buttons work.
  I don't want to use both: buttons and vmware 6 or 7.
  It seems to work with vmware 5.x, but this version of vmware is officially not recommended to work with win7. It takes about 10 minutes push button vmware initially until the vm ware starts booting.

  Perhaps someone could confirm this problem.
  Hope of a quick solution!
  Concerning
  bachmayeah

  Maybe it sounds pessimistic now, but I don't think you'll have a quick solution to this.
  The feature tools and utilities Toshiba is tested with the own operating system preinstalled and not with some third-party additional party software.
  Can you imagine how these applications you will find there? Who should test the functionality with hundreds of other application? It is certainly not possible.

  I use VmWare, but I imagine that there is a problem where two applications met the other.

  Sorry, but I don't think that there is nothing you can do about it.

• using the VMware workstation 100% disc

  Hi all

  I have amd multi-purpose 8350 with 12 GB of ram and 1 TB hard drive (no ssd). I created a few 10 vms and when I try to start few of them suddenly disk use increases to 100%. I turn them all at the same time, I give some time between each vm poweron. Always the same problem occurs. In addition, even after some time, after activating my vms, same problem occurs. on my windows host computer, the use of the disc is 100% most of the time. because of this my vmware workstation crashes and I am not able to do anything. I have to wait until the use of the disc is free again. I disabled windows search on my host machine, but no luck.

  I added the lines on all my machines virtual vmx files but no use.

  
  

  MemTrimRate = '0 '.

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  
  

  Can someone help me out here?

  Hi Shawn,

  Thank you for your response...

  At start-up, if it's slow, it's fine. But it happens all of a sudden, even when I'm working. When it freezes, I can't do anything. Just count numbers to kill some time... I have to wait until he's back to normal and I donno when it happens.

  While I was looking on the internet, someone posted on an Internet site that disabling superfetch-bit, and windows update services can reduce disk performance. I'm 100% sure they are stopped on my windows host computer. So, I disabled the. But I was really surprised to see the performance of disk after I disabled the services. Now, I have a lag for a few seconds and that occurs only when I start the vms system. After that they are running no problem at all. I donno why a stopped service would cause such an impact. Subsequently, if I do not have a service, I turn it off, turn it off.

  Finally, after you turn off the 3 services, I have no problem.

  Thank you

  Chaitanya.
