Virtualization on Arch64 (qemu, vmware server, etc.)

Does anyone have any of these things working with Arch64? I've been trying to get them all working all day long and nothing goes. If you have something working what did you do to get it running?
thanks
karsten

edit2--i figured it out by using some of the script in the other vmware wiki article that this one links to about changing some references in the .c files to work with the .19 kernel. now it works
edit-- i that that part to work by not being in the chroot, but the second one now fails (vmnet):

VMWare Server-64bit in Arch64

There is a 64-bit version of VMWare2 available from vmware's site. Has anyone used this to install vmware server on Arch64?

Well, I got the tarbal for VMWare2.0 from their website. I followed the guide for installing VMWare in 32-bit Arch with the exception of running the any-to-any patch. I'm running a default kernel and everything worked as is.
EDIT: Changed website link to point directly at download page. Click on Download Now under VMWare Server 2.0 and it will take you to a page where you can register for your free serial and then get the download.

Vmware server on Arch64

Was wondering if it is possible to install vmware server on an arch64 install. The vmware install the wiki mentions to create a 32 bit environment, but after looking at the vmware server release notes, it indicates it has 64bit support. I tried to install vmware server using the normal wiki install http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware and I get the following errors. It seems to install perfectly untill I try to enter the license key. Anyway, here's the error I get when trying to start vmware.

Any ideas? I'm a newbie so be gentle.

Here's someinfo I pulled off the vmware manual on their website. Although I could be wrong, this looks like vmware supports 64 bit linux host systems.
Linux Host Operating System Requirements
Supported distributions and kernels are listed in this section. VMware Server might not
run on systems that do not meet these requirements. Platforms that are not listed are
not supported.
64‐bit host computers can run the following operating systems for 64‐bit extended
systems:

You can check on the console and ensure the console says that Hardware Virtualization is enabled. If not, check in your BIOS that the processor hardware virtualization is enabled. If you don't have an option, your PC may not have the Intel VT-x or AMD-v extensions required to support hardware virtualization.
You can check to see if your processor supports this extension by using:
Intel processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmxAMD processor:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svmIf you see a result, it means the processor has that support. You still need to ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS.

Running VMware Server 2 services as a non-root user

Hello,
I have switched from VirtualBox to VMware Server 2 on my Arch64 server and the transition has been relatively painless. I am at the point now where I want to run VMware's services as a non-root user account (I have a service account called "svc-vmadmin" that I'd like to use). I'm generally not comfortable running services as root, but at the same time I'm conscious of the time and effort required vs. overall benefits.
I've done the usual Google searches and even checked the VMware Server 2 user guide and the VMware community, but I can't find specific details on how to achieve this.
Is this even plausible in a Linux environment? I used to run VMware Server 1 under the SYSTEM account on Windows Server, so I'm hopinga similar thing can be done on Arch.
I would greatly appreciate any information or personal experience that fellow Archers can share.
Thanks,
Thom

System services are handled by launchd.
If you look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ you'll see a plist file for each service including org.isc.named.plist, the plist for named.
If you edit this file you'll see it's an XML document that describes the service and how the OS should handle it, including the part:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/sbin/named</string>
<string>-f</string>
</array>
Just append another entry in the array that says <string>-u nobody</string> (or whatever username you want to run as.

hi,
i installed solaris 10 on vmware server when i am going to configure the network printer 9500 hp (its having print server that also i am giving in the print server properties ) , but still i am unable to give print out from staroffice application,
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..

After I add a scsi disk, then network can not work. Why ?

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.

VMWare-server in 64 bit

Sorry I don't speak German
I set up Arch to play with it and I've been impressed, it's a pretty nice distro. I set up everything that I had working in Debian Sid (even though for Picasa I had to set up a 32 bit chroot environment) however I can't install VMware-server, in comparison it's pretty trivial to set it up in Sid...
Anyway, I've tried to set it up in 32 bit chroot and that didn't work, the install seems successful but it doesn't start. I assume it's not possible to run it in chroot, I'm not sure what are chroot limitation, maybe one cannot install kernel modules?
In 64 bit I had a problem to get all the 32-bit libraries, can anyone who has it install assure me it's not a lost case so I will dedicate more time with it? Do you have some advice?
Thanks!
PS. Oh and what's the deal with 32 bit libraries overwriting 64 bit ones... I had bunch a problems with that, apt-get would have never allowed that...

I've made a mistake, this PKGBUILD is not prepared for Arch64. Maintainer seems not to be using Arch64. Probably he cannot test this package on x86_64 architecture and PKGBUILD needs some more changes to run under x86 arch. It is still possible, but you would have to get some 32bit libraries.
I have found similar topic in ArchWiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
I was using vmware-workstation package from AUR, you may be interested in it. You would have to install lib32-libxtst package from pacman before using it (maybe installing this package makes vmware-server to run under x86_64 architecture...).

VMware Server Web Access Console interface Q

Hi,
Running VMware Server 2.0.2 with VMware Remote Console Plug-in (vmware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe). How do get the VMware machine to appear in the cosole area instread of a seperate pop-up window. Also if I open multiple windows how to get them to appear under as tabs in the console window instead of seperate windows.
New at this so details would be appreciated so I can do it. By the way is there 64bit versions of the Console exe? what about VMware server 2.0.2?
Thanks

I managed to install Windows 7 in Vmware Server yesterday. And it worked fine, except that my whole system became very unresponive together with the Windows 7 installation. But it did work. I rebooted my computer today and started up the vmware deamon, and no luck in connecting to the server. I only get an 'Unable to connect' error in Firefox. To fix this, I will have to remove /etc/vmware and install vmware-server over again.
So at the moment, Virtualbox is winning hands down. It don't slow down my hole system, and Windows feels as fast as it was running not in a VM. And it works. The only issue is very slow IO.
Vmware Workstation 6 was alot faster than the Server version. Maybe I shuld try it instead. Just have to find a PGKBUILD for it.

Vmware Server web UI stops working.

I have installed Vmware Server from AUR. It seems like it works fine for a short time. I can access the web interface after the initial configuration is done. But the problem is that is suddenly stops responding after a while. I still have not got to the point where I have installed a virtual OS. I have just created the virtual machine itself.
A couple of times is has worked with restarting the Vmware daemon. But most of the time I just get an "Unable to connect" message when I try to connect to it trough Firefox. Opera gives the same result. But telnet seems to get contact.
I'm trying to get this to work in

How Can I install correctly Vmware-Server?

Hi, I have tried to install Vmware-Server in arch but I have found some problems:
- If I use the install from downloaded file from website, when running install script I can't allocate rc0.d and rc6.d.
- If using Vmware-Server aur package, it tells me that the software is not configured for my kernel (2.6.21). I execute the vmware-config.pl, but no effect.
I have followed the wiki and other methods but I can't get it working. I have installed Vmware in Other SO's like debian and ubuntu with no problem but in arch...
What Can I do to install Vmware?
Greetings

first, you should symlink lsmod to /sbin as VMware has an absolute path to /sbin/lsmod.
ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/lsmod
create a directory in /etc/rc.d/ named vmware.d - the result should be /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/
cd to that directory and create directories rc0.d through rc6.d - the result should be:
[sputnik@SPUTNIK1:/etc/rc.d/vmware.d] ls
rc0.d rc1.d rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d
run vmware-config.pl
What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to
rc6.d/)?
/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/rc.d/vmware.d]
/etc/rc.d/
after all that, everything should go smoothy. make sure to add the vmware daemon to /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(example example vmware)

[Request] VMware Server

VMware Server is the successor to the commercial VMware GSX server, which is now obsolete.
It is free to use and will stay that way.
It is still in beta , build 23869 now.
On my work i am testing the windows version, and sofar it looks good.
It lacks the team features of VMware Workstation, but has perl scripting support, a C API and the console allows you to connect to VMware server installations on other machines.
I think many people who now use VMware workstation can switch to VMware server without problems.

I'm assuming nobody's been able to PKGBUILD this yet? I tried myself, using Mikos' vmware-workstation as a starting point, but I couldn't get it going, and as I needed it in a hurry, I installed it the (ab)normal way instead i.e. using VMware's install script. I will have another crack at it at some stage (if nobody else gets there first), but in the meantime, I've built myself a new kernel, and it occurred to me that we really should have a separate package for the kernel modules, as we do with other apps that come with their own module(s) e.g. wlan-ng, lirc, unionfs, etc.
So here it is. It saved me the hassle of running the entire config script again, just to get two kernel modules. Others may or may not find it useful. I'm not putting it in the AUR for the moment, in case someone else comes along with a conflicting "full service" PKGBUILD.
Change the _kernver variable to match the kernel you want to build for.
