PLUG IN Problem Vmware server on CentOS

Hello everybody,
I need your help . I installed VMware Server 2 on CentOS.
But when I try to see the console of the virtual machine, It says me that "the VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed"
I'm currently using Firefox 10.0.4 and then I can't install this plug-in because it seems to be not compatible with this version of Firefox so I really don't know what to do because I'm not an expert about Linux.
If you have any idea please let me know
Have a nice day

It's sounds like you're monitoring the dry guitar direct from your interface. Make sure direct monitoring is turned off, and turn software monitoring ON in Logic.
Now you should hear the effected guitar on your recording channel, even though just the clean signal is recorded.

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?
Mike

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

Vmware server 2: error in vmware-config after update to kernel 2.6.31

My previous vmware server 2 installation was patched for kernel 2.6.30 according to the information here:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1286903
Before attempting to run vmware-config.pl I reinstalled with vmware-install.pl.
Thanks.

For reference I post here the solution to the mouse flickering, in case anyone has the same problem:
http://radu.cotescu.com/2009/10/30/how- … mic-koala/
Just follow step 6 to solve the problem.

Thank you very much, that works just fine.
I have not noticed any strange VM behavior on my Windows XP installation. But I only use it to test websites with IE and it does not run in full screen mode.
Now I only need to find out why Opera is running at 101% CPU load since the update and I will be all set
Thanks again.

Cannot uninstall VMware Server 1.0. from Windows 7

[pictures attached]
I tried to install VMware Server 1.0.10, but got this message:
Windows requires a digitally signed driver
A recently installed program tried to install an unsigned driver.
This version of Windows requires all drivers to have a valid digital signature.
The driver is unavailable and the program that uses this driver might not work correctly.
Uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the
publisher's support website to get a digitally signed driver.
Driver: VMware bridge driver (64-bit)
Service: VMware Bridge Protocol
PROBLEM: cannot uninstall VMware Server
QUESTION: how can I manually uninstall VMware Server from my Windows 7?
Thanks in advance.

If you're being flooded with this (literally every second) in /var/log/messages I would recommend applying patch 5679560 (if you have access to metalink):
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8725]: session closed for user oracle
Oct 16 11:05:06 vmerin su(pam_unix)[8768]: session opened for user oracle by (uid=0)
This will reduce the load significantly.

Four weeks ago--
Patched and installed VMware Server 1.0.5 on Archlinux with kernel 2.6.25... everything worked well. Bliss!
About 2 weeks ago--
Upgraded kernel to 2.6.26... time suck began.
Current status:
After banging on VMware and vmmon patch and source code for a while,
now have on kernel 2.6.26-arch--
VMware Server 1.0.7 with patch ...117d, modified as follows:

line 48 #define VMMON_VERSION (168 << 16 | 0) changed to:
line 48 #define VMMON_VERSION (138 << 16 | 0)
Patch reasoning [limited newb alert]:
Without 117d, vmmon fails to compile with error re: .nopage
With 117d, vmmon compiles and installs successfully but VMs
won't start with error re: expect version 138 got 168
With patch modified, now past the version error, but getting the error:

After the tests I've done, I don't believe this error really has anything to do with low memory.

And so I post.
What next?

It's likely that instead of trying to plot 5 charts with 150000 data-points, you're trying to plot 150000charts with 5 data-points! Try right-clicking on the chart - do you see "Transpose Array" property? If it's checked, UNcheck it (if UNchecked, check it!)

can you write me steps in details Please as soon as possible,
Thanks,
Zubair.

> Please, can somebody give me the way, step by step to
configure a DNS server on solaris 10. i want to have
the directories and files that it is necessary to
modify and the modification to have a domain name
"deptech.lan" with ip adress of the DNS
server 192.168.100.2.
>
> thankDo this in this way,
1. unconfig your system
# sys-unconfig
2. Then press " Y" after that it wil reboot..
3. Then it will start config.
4. you can see like that,
Network ( y/n)
Network Interfence ( acc. 2 ur NIC , e.g. rstl0 /nge0 etc..)
select it. If you have two NIC in your system. then you choose any one..
5. Enter your " Host name"
6. then system ip
7. Then some stpes wll appear, it shows,, DHCp, Enable Ipv6 etc.. select acc. 2 ur configartion.
8. Then it will appear ' name service"
then select " Dns"
9. Give your DNS server name
10 . enter " server ip "
then search domain ( enter acc. 2 ur config/ may leave blank)
N.B: for going next stages / contiues you have to use " F2" key..
then it will configured..
Let me know if its ok or for any problem..

Screen resolution for OEL 5 on VMware Server 1.0.3

Hi
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 in a VMware Server 1.0.3 virtual machine.
The problem is that I can only run the virtual machine in 800x600 or 640x480.
Anyone who has tried this and made it work?
I have VMWare Tools installed and I have run the vmware-tools-config, or what its called.
When choosing 1024x768 as the screen resolution. Linux is unable to start the Xserver. Sorry, but I don't have the error message when writing this.
The Virtual Machine i setup as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 server.
Regards
Nick

Hi
This is how the system works right now.
I also tried to add manually the 1024x768 resolution with the Mode option. but this didn't work.
Thx in advance.

Solaris 10 Installed with VMware Server 1.0.3 free version

Hello
I am a beginner in S 10 and planned to start learning it installing S 10 on a VMware server 1.0.3 (free) on my machine where I have win xp pro pre-installed. I downloaded S 10 SW as ISO for CD and installed the same. My problem is the entire file system on S 10 seems read-only and I do not have access to create/change any new/existing file.
Can u help?

Running vmware server on laptop issues

Hey Forum.
I'm using my laptop also as Vmware server for beeing able to have a windows machine.
But I have both and wired connection and wireless.
I can get a bridged connection on the wired LAN. But would also wan on the wireless network.
But I cannot get it to work.
I got iwl3945 up and running with great problems. But cannot get it to run.
I've set the wmnet0 bridged to eth0
wnet1 --> Host-only
vmnet3 bridged to wlan0
vmnet8 NAT
But how I do I cannot get the IP from the wireless, no matter what! So how can I fix this ?
Running Kernel 2.6.24.2TP on a IBM X60s.
Is there anything special I need to do to get it rigth - or can someone just explain it to me.
Thanks.

might be off topic but for problems with vmware I moved to virtualbox (from repo) and I forgot about problems
but running vmware I used host only networking - this seems to be easier than bridged

Execution aborted.
so iam a beginner and can not figure out where the problem is.
i looked around the internet and on the arch wiki but didnt find a sollution - there are often problems with module compilation with newer kernels, therefore there a patches, but not for my kernel.
some people say, that VMWare Server 2 modules compiling fine with the 2.6.30 kernel.. maybe i have another problem.
is this path correct for kernel headers?
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/build/include]
I hope someone can help me.

cool, i found a patch and installation works fine now !
vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
and
vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch
what i did:
wget both files to /tmp
#cd /tmp
#vi vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
and change the VMMODDIR variable to my fits (cause i installed vmware server somewhere else)
#./vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
#cd vmwareserverdir/bin/
#./vmware-config.pl

I have faced a similar problem, but I was testing a lot of things simultaneously (not very smart obviously), of which was adding SCSI and IDE disks.
Anyway:
I am running VMware server 1.0.4 on Windows XP.
I have a Solaris 10 8/07 virtual machine installed.
The VM is NATing through the host os's network.
I have two network adapters (physically on my laptop), one wireless and one wired, I can have any combination of them being enabled or disabled according to where I am working, and sometimes I start the virtual machine with neither of them enabled.
When I installed the Solaris VM, the network interface was configured as pcn0. At some point (don't know exactly what i was testing then) pcn0 was no longer available and pcn1 suddenly appeared. Later on this happened again and pnc1 disappeared and I got pcn2.
As far as I can tell this happens when I start the VM with a different combination of NIC's enabled / disable , i.e. for some reason, having a different physical interface enabled causes Solaris in the VM to configure a different instance of the pcn interface.
I am not sure yet if this is really what is going on, but for now I am focusing on testing what is running on the vm rather than giving in to my technical cravings to get to the roots of this problem, so for a quick fix, just grep for pcn in /etc/path_to_inst, and try plumbing the instances you find there. The one that does not return an error is the one that is currently working.
Just change your hostname.pcnx or pcnx.dhcp file to reflect the correct instance number and do an "svcadm clear physical" this will get your network started and start all the dependent services.
Hope this helps.

SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host ok for VmWare Server 2??

Hello,
I am running a VmWare Server 2.02 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 - Host. Are there any known problems with regard to VmWare Server 2 when installing SP1 on the Windwos Server 2008 R2 - Host? I was reluctand to install SP1, because I was unable to find information to that question. Has anybody out there with the same configuration done the SP1-Update already?
Regards,Martin Kluge

Thanks.. That's what I wanted to hear..
any updates since you posted this thread? still working?
It amazes me that they killed off Server, they could have moved it to paid and we would have been happy.
ESXi is great if your hardware supports it, ours doesn't.
We upgraded our linux OS when we did some disk upgrades on our secondary server a few weeks ago only to find server can't run on 2.6.41.. so -- its going to windows r2 2008.
