VMware 5 not working with Arch udev

Okay I am having an issue running VMware 5 in Arch using udev. I can get VMware to install and run in window mode, but the moment I go full screen I get an error stating that it cannot open tty0. On this computer I have the devfs=nomount added to grub.
On another computer I did not add devfs=nomount so I am using devfs instead of udev .. it works perfectly .. also in full screen.
I looked in the /dev directory on the system using devfs and found that tty0 is a link pointing to vc/0 so I thought that if I go to the udev system and just ln -s /dev/vc/0 /dev/tty0 it would work. It ends up going horribly wrong!
I have turned OFF udev on my first system and verified that it works when I mount devfs. Since udev will eventually replace devfs I would like to get it working with udev. Anyone have a clue? The udev rules file is default btw from a new install if you are wondering.

do you have a customized .rules file in /etc/udev/udev.rules/ ? You should have a line like this:
KERNEL="tty[0-9]*", NAME="vc/%n", SYMLINK="%k"
I have VMware 5 working using udev, and it will work in Full Screen Mode. Hope that helps.[/code]
That is wierd. I looked at my udev.rules file and had this:
[code]
# tty devices
SUBSYSTEM="tty",        GROUP="tty"
KERNEL="tty[0-9]*",    NAME="vc/%n"
KERNEL="ttyS[0-9]*",   NAME="tts/%n", SYMLINK="ttyS%n"
KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n"
[/code]
All I did was add SYMLINK="tty%n" to the line and it worked fine. Funny thing is, this is the way it looks on all of my installed computers. Is it because I enabled testing?

    VMWare and Parallels hook themselves deep with the OS and are not standard applications.
    Parallels broke in the 10.6.8 update, caused a lot of headaches around here.
    I don't think they follow Apple's rules too well.
    Fusion might be a bit less feature rich, but it seems they are more complaint. Also Apple sells Fusion and likely uses it themselves.
    Both are excellent of course.

  • Canon Pixma MP-540 (and other) does not work with Cups 1.4

    Since Cups 1.4 my printer does not work
    its 100% about Cups 1.4 beceause after an downgrade to 1.3 it worked perfect. After upgrade to 1.4 again nothing worked.
    So my question, could there be maybe a package called cups-legacy. I heard about other Canon printers + non canon printers which not work with Cups 1.4 in case of binary distributed drivers

    I had a similar problem with my MP780 and solved it by adding a custom udev rule. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cup … ermissions. This is my udev rule:
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="1707", GROUP:="lp", MODE:="0660"
    and lsusb output:
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:1707 Canon, Inc. PIXMA MP780 Scanner
    . Hopefully this will be fixed by hal/devicekit/udev upstream but it all seems a bit of a jumble atm, to me anyway.

  • BT848 TV not working with custom 2.6.22 kernel

    Hi,
    I installed a custom compiled 2.6.22 kernel (built the traditional way, using menuconfig in /usr/src/linux-2.6.22) but then tvtime could not work with my BT848 TV card (error message - "not a video4linux device" and "cannot open capture device /dev/video". The device is there and a simple video app. I wrote myself says:
    cyclops: Opened V4L2 device: /dev/v4l/video0
    cyclops: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: error 25, Inappropriate ioctl for device
    The TV worked with kernel 2.6.21, although to listen to radio with gqradio I had to start tvtime first to get any sound. I double checked my config but can't see anything missing, I have compiled custom kernels many times and so I could say I am not inexperienced. I am using latest Arch x86-64 on an AMD Athlon 64 machine.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    My thanks in advance!

    Dear All,
    We have a strange issue in the our application (Oracle form) in the one of our client machine.
    Some times the forms are not able to work with the mouse but is able to work with the keyboard. After one or two machine restart its again working. When the issue occur we can able to work in other applications using mouse.

    Java Plug-in version 1.6.0_31 .
    Please any info will help us lot.

    Thank you for the quick replies Michael Ferrante and HamidHelal.
    But since its occurring for some users (perticulary indian users) and some times. And also its occurring in production environment not in development environment.
    Even the java control panel is not working with mouse.
    For other country customers everything working fine.
    So its difficult for me to apply the patch with these uncertainties.
    Checking with fresh java installation and let you know the status.
    Thanks.

  • Caller ID not working with Nokia 6600?

    I have a T-Mobile (US) Nokia 6600, and I can't seem to get address book to display incoming SMS or the caller ID of incoming calls. I've successfully paired the phone via bluetooth, and I can make address book dial the phone and send an sms. I can sync via iSync, use my phone as a modem, etc. etc.
    But regardless of what settings I tweak, I can't seem to get Address Book to show a bezel of any kind on incoming calls - not even an 'Unknown Caller' message! Am I missing something obvious? Third party apps like BluePhoneElite work just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's something wrong with Address Book...

    The Caller ID issue was due to an outage. It should be resolved anytime soon. Can yu log out and log back in. Go to app settings and in notifications and turn CAller ID off and on.
    On email - what do you mean 'email is very hard to see' ? I would like to pass on this feedback to the team.

    Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
    If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite  installer says it is not applicable to my machine.

    Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer.  There's nothing separate to download or install.
    Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
    For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!
