Kernel 2.6.22 and vmware-player-modules

Just for information:
If someone got problems reinstalling vmware-player-modules after the last Kernel update to 2.6.22, here's a workaround:
1. Get the package vmware-player-modules from the aur..
2. try building vmware-player-modules with makepkg (that's where the problem occurs)
3. download the file vmnet.tar from here, unpack it somewhere
4. copy the .tar and the unpacked folder to the vmware-player-modules source ( cp -r vmnet* /var/abs/local/vmware-player-modules/src/vmware-player-distrib/lib/modules/source )
5. build the package again with makepkg -e and install it
yay.

That fixed my problem.  I removed kvm-modules and re-synced my kernel, in case kvm-modules had trashed my kvm.ko files.
Also one thing that would really help would be to add the udev-rules from the kvm-modules and create the group kvm.  I don't know if that's appropriate with the mainline kernel or not, though.
We'll have to re-add the rules and some other files in the qemu package (which includes the userspace kvm stuff).

  • [Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

    I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using  VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
    When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

    Interestingly, after deinstallation and reinstallation the VMWare Player works fine.
    Any hint, what's going wrong?

    Today, (Kernel  3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
    vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
    Solved (somehow).

  • Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

    Hi.
    I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
    The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
    Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
    I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?

  • Windows 7 DPI scaling causes problems in VMware Player

    Hi there,
    I'm running Windows 7 x86 Professional and VMware Player 3.0.0. Windows 7 is set to 150% larger fonts (DPI scaling).
    If I start VMware Player with this DPI setting the guest VM is scaled aswell. If I set Windows 7 NOT to use DPI scaling only for VMware Player about 25% of the guest's screen is unreachable (lower-right). (See this screenshot: http://pix.sonhult.se/vmware.jpg)
    The guest is running Ubuntu 9.10 x86.
    Have anyone else been experimenting with DPI scaling and VMware Player? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I know this is a thread necro but it's kinda hilarious and sad. I just searched the forums for "player dpi" and here I stumble upon my own post on the subject over five years ago.
    This time I'm running VMware Player version 11.1.0.58002 on a Windows 7 SP1 host where I've got the DPI set to 125%. I ran a Visual Studio tool called Spy++ while one of my VMs is compacting and it shows this information for that window:
    Window (id) "VMware Player" (Dialog)
    --- Window (id) "Compacting virtual disk..." Static
    --- Window (id) "" msctls_progress32
    --- Window (id) "Cancel" Button
    At 125% DPI I've never seen the Cancel button.
    Besides continuing to be indifferent to people who don't have perfect eyesight, this problem is going to occur more frequently when 4K displays become more popular with businesses. People will need to use much higher DPI to be able to read the fonts at those super-high resolutions.

  • Lenovo T430 - VMware Player - Windows 7 - webcam is not working

    Hi,
    I have Windows7 and VMware PLayer.
    Webcam is working fine on my Host - it is recognized as ThinkVantage Virtual Camera.
    On WMware player webcam is not recognized.
    I have tried such drivers on VMware player:
    g1c814ww.exe  -  installed - but webcam is not working
    grcu07ww.exe - error message on vmware: Not Supported
    Saying honestly I need such driver (make a copy from my host): ThinkVantage Virtual camera
    But I need *.INF files. Unfortunately on my Host system I have found only *.SYS files for these driver.
    Does anybody know how to enable Integrated camera on WMware player?
    Regards
    Pawel

    Hi Manish,
    I've done this several times with Win 7 Pro.  IIRC the procedure is to not try to activate during installation.  Run the full install without a key.  Reboot and attempt to activate.  If that fails there should be a link or phone number offered that you can call for phone activation.
    Here in the US anyway the calling the number gets you an automated activation process.

  • WEC7 and VMware

    I have had no luck getting WEC7 to run in a virtual machine, either downloading it from Platform Builder or building a standalone.  Judging from other posts, it appears at least a couple other people have made it work, I guess it's some simple
    setting I'm missing or some secret thing I'm unaware of (yes I'm very frustrated with this).  Based on other posts, HyperV appears to be out of the question how about VMWare, anyone able to make that work?

    @ Cicero564,
    I instaled WEC7 to Virtual PC (Windows 7 host), Hyper-V (Windows Server 2008 R2 host) and VMware Player (Windows 7 host) and able to download OS-image/application to target device without problem.
    I also know of others using Virtual PC, Hyper-V and VMware Player as the development environment for WEC7 without problem.
    It's known to work.  Check to make sure the virtual machine is proper installed and configured.
    Follow the recommended software installation sequences to install the required software.

    Saying you got it to work without linking to any method or anything is basically nothing.

  • Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL 4-kernel 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELhugemem

    All
    I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.i386.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message:
    before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
    kernel headers 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem
    kernel headers for version 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem were not found...
    I've already searched both on google and on Oracle website for a package containing this version of kernel headers, but didn't find them.
    I've did an up2date -i kernel-devel, some kernel headers got installed, but it seems they are at the wrong version:
    [root@dscdap01 ~]# ls -la /usr/src/kernels/
    total 24
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 .
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 4 2008 ..
    drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 1 09:42 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686
    drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-i686
    As far as I can see, I have two paths for solving this:
    1: update the running kernel to 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686 - in order to do that I'll have to restart the machine, which is quite risky because this is an important machine used for many projects and I do not have physical access to it; in case something goes wrong I'll have to make an SR to the GIT guys, and pray for a quick resolution
    2. find this particular version on kernel headers (2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem), install them in a non-standard location and then point vmplayer installer to that location in order to compile and plug them into the running kernel
    Questions:
    - If I choose the 2nd path:
    -- where can I find this particular kernel headers version?
    -- after vmplayer compiles them, will it request a machine restart, or plugging them into the running kernel will be possible without restart?
    -- I already did an up2date -u, so the entire system excepting the running kernel is updated to whatever is in Oracle's internal repositories. Will this conflict somehow with an older running kernel and modules?
    -If I choose the 1th path (update the kernel itself and reboot the machine):
    -- will then vmplayer be able to compile and install the kernel modules without asking for another restart?
    Thanks a lot for your feedback.
    Any idea is appreciated, even pointing me to someone in Oracle that might help (I am an Oracle employee) would be useful.
    Regards
    Serban

    Thanks for your reply Joe. I did not realise that I shall search for the package name without "ELHugemem" part since the headers are probably the same. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
    So I downloaded the i686 package, but now I get this message:
    [root@dscdap01 ~]# rpm -iv kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
    warning: kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2
    Preparing packages for installation...
         package kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL) is already installed
    I am not sure if I shall do a "rpm -ivf" for this package, forcing it to install. Will this command install the package alongside the existing one, or will it overwrite it? My guess is that it will install it alongside the existing one, but since this system is an important one I would prefer to ask before doing any stupid mistake...

  • Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL and running into an error

    All
    I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.13.*.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message :
    before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks and regards
    Anil

    Thanks Avi for the pointer.
    I did a 'sudo -su ' and ran 'rpm -ivh kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.EL.i686.rpm' and it went through successfully.
    But then when I launched VMPlayer, a popup came up saying " Before you run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.". I clicked on 'Install' to continue.
    Another popup came up saying "Failed to run /usr/bin/vmware-gksu '/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig' --icon='vmware-player' --appname='VMware' --gcc='/usr/bin/gcc' --headers='/lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELxenU/build/include' --gcc-ignore-minor as user root. Failed to exec new process. No such file or directory."
    And then I had to exit.
    This is the log contents when VMPlayer was run :

  • VMware player won't start after kernel update

    Hi,
    today I've updated to 3.9.6-1 kernel and all went good. So I wanted to start my vmware player to start a vm. Of course I've done the needed steps in the vmplayer wiki page to setup the new headers and stuff after kernel update for vmplayer. Also I've ran "vmware-patch -f" and ran trough. But still get an error when I wanted to start the player in the "/tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-11986.log":

    Maybe it has something to do with the last filesystem update?
    But I don't know what to do really and couldn't found anything on that.
    thanks

    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
    Besides, I installed Arch on Dell Studio XPS 1640 and I don't seem tobe able to remove the hard block on my Wifi card. I installed all the driver already. This is the output of commands.

    I even try to include this inside modprobe but it doesn't work.
    [root@swallowed Desktop]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

    Thank you so much!

    vmware products need patching for kernel 2.6.35 - you didn't mention if you did that or not, but if you didn't, that would explain why vmware is not starting.

  • VMware Player and mouse not behaving correctly with the vmmouse driver

    I'm running Arch on VMware Player and having problems with the mouse behavior.
    - Arch is updated, 32 -bit
    - VMware Player 6.0.1
    - Host is Windows 8.1 64-bit
    - XFCE 4.10
    If I install xf86-input-vmmouse, the following happens:
    - If cursor touches the edge of the screen when scrolling a window with the scroll bar, scrolling stops. If I continue pressing the mouse button and moving the mouse (and not touching any edges), the scrolling starts working again after two seconds.
    - When opening any new window, hovering and clicking will register only after two seconds. This is very noticeable when opening the application menu and trying to launch any app - first click never works.
    Uninstalling the vmmouse driver fixes the above problems. The mouse "feeling" gets very bad though, it seems jumpy and the acceleration is crazy and can't be tweaked to be satisfactory with the mouse settings. With vmmouse the mouse feels otherwise just fine.
    Installing or uninstalling Open-VM-Tools doesn't do anything.
    I tried this, but it had no effect: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … s_expected
    Happens both in fullscreen and windowed, scrolling behavior happens every time, hover/click lag is not so predictable (seems to happen 50 % of the time).
    Might there be any easy fix for this?

    Hi Sung, Thanks for your reply.
    Leonardo:
    If I understand your msg correctly, I'm wondering if
    the data model as you described is complete.
    You state that you have MaintenanceType, Maintenance,
    and MaintenanceOrder, but don't you need
    MaintenanceOrderLine?MaintenanceOrderLine is what I'm calling Maintenance. A Maintenace record is used just to link a MaintenanceOrder to a MaintenanceType
    >
    Otherwise, you say that you removed all Maintenance's
    in step 2). How did you form a list of all
    Maintenance's in step 4)? How do you form this
    list?
    was raised due to unique constraint violationAt step 3) I'm using a view object, MaintenanceTypeView, to create a list of checkboxes, one for each MaintenanceType.
    At step 4), for each MaintenanceType selected in the form, I'm creating a new Maintenance using:
    //All codes of maintenance types, that already have a
    //respective maintenance record in the db, have already
    //been remove from the maintenancesToInsert list at this
    //point
    for (Iterator iter = maintenancesToInsert.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
    MaintenanceViewRow maintenanceRow = (MaintenanceViewRow) maintenanceView.createRow();
    maintenanceRow.setMaintenanceTypeCode(Integer.valueOf((String)iter.next()));
    maintenanceView.insertRow(maintenanceRow);

    Since you posted this in the iPod Touch forum and didn't provide enough information to contradict that I am going to say the it can't be done. VMWare does work in iPods.
