VMWare workstation error with shared VMs

Hi. I have a bug with VMWare Workstation I could not fix. It's about sharing VMs remotely, it reports the following error
Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-1165.log
Cannot find insserv, chkconfig, or update-rc.d on your system. Also cannot find System V style init directories. Unable to add service.
Starting Workstation Server:
Can anyone please me help to publish a remote server VMs?.

Thanks for that I found it in the forum on a subsequent search.

Can I install Oracle VM server on VMware Workstation 7 with linux?

I have installed VMware Workstation 7 on my laptop that already has windows 7 operating system.
Next I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 on my VMware Workstation 7.
Now am planing to setup a RAC environment.
What should be my next step? The documentation says I need to install VMware server.
Are VMware server and Oracle VM server the same?
can we replace one with other.
I am a newbie.. Please spare my questions.

hi,
your vm ware server is ok.. but you should install same o/s for RAC..
remove the linux and install windows and try RAC node in vmware..
or try install linux

PSE 12 error with 'shared technologies'

It seems I have fallen foul of what seems a common error. I am running Windows 7 and installing (or trying to) an Upgrade edition of both PSE and PSE Premiere. I have tried so far a normal install, shared technologies error. A clean install,error.
Virus and firewalls down. error. My opical drives seemed to be playing up so am using a new USB DVD drive, error.
Having tried to read the logs and still not how to resolve the problem. I have never had this sort of problem before with any program and I certainly dont expect it from Adobe. Help.

Printer Error with Shared USB printer

Greetings;
I have just installed my HP 7760 on my new G5, and I am attempting to print via shared usb to my G3 Imac which is running 10.3.9 I have used this setup lots in the past but with both MAC's running 10.3.9, Now all I get is "Print Error"!
I can see the shared printer on the G3 and select it on the G5 but it just results in a print error when I attempt to print.
Any thoughts would be most helpful

Hi Greg;
Many thanks for your interest in my problem. I have done the following;
1. Installed the latest drivers from HP on both machines
2. Removed and then added the printer.
3. Repaired permissions on both computers and restarted.
This seems to be related to 10.4.3 as I have read some references to this in other threads. Prior to the G5 with 10.4.3 I was printing with the G3'es under 10.3.9 using USB sharing with no problems. I have no problem printing from either computer when the printer is connected directly and I can see the shared printer in printer setup and have no problem selecting it however I am still getting the "print error" when printing to the shared printer.
I am going to try one more experiment, I no have the printer connected directly to the G5 with printer sharing turned on. I will try to print to it from the G3and see what happens. I will post the results when complete.

the new scribus needs openssl 0.9.7 (also in the repos) --- but warning: if your system is not up-to-date and you update to 0.9.7, you will break a lot of pkgs
-> run pacman -Suy to have a updated system first (i assume you have arch 0.6 installed and never updated) --- but this solution has a second warning: it will probably want to download more hundreds of MB of updated software

Enterprise linux on vmware workstation

hello gurus,
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux on Vmware Workstation 5 with 1.5 GB memory and a disk of 20 GB. When the virtual machine is running it stops responding in a regular frequency. It seems like some process is running in the background taking up all cpu-time. I can't find what is bothering the system. Is this a known issue?

Hi,
Please try to run a top command from shell, and check what is eating the CPU.
Cheers,
Alin

Issues with Arch 2009.02 in VMware Workstation [SOLVED]

I installed Arch Linux 2009.02 i686 as a guest in VMware Workstation 6.5.1, my host is Vista x64. The installation of Arch itself and Xorg wasn't a problem although from this point I've had several issues.
I was unable to 'startx' or 'xinit' without getting crashes, however adding hal to the daemons fixed that problem - some wiki entries state to add dbus, but dbus is already started. A lot of content on the wiki is outdated, telling users to use hwd; I did install hwd separately (from sourceforge) although it gave me hundreds? of errors related to PCI and eventually failure to parse some x configuration binary in /usr/bin.
Multimedia Issues
I then installed xfce4 and gstreamer-plugins. All video and audio play back too quickly, i.e. it seems to play the streams as fast as they can decode. This also happens with flash content such as youtube after I'd installed the appropriate programs. Thinking this may be a timing issue, I editted the vmware config file on my Windows host although it did not help; the timing in the VM seemed to be correct anyway.
Display Issues
When I run 'startxfce4' from a terminal, Xfce will start as 800x600 - if I go to change this resolution all options show 0Hz as the refresh rate and many options my monitor cannot display are shown even though I have VMware set to allow a maximum size of 1680x1050. I was unable to generate a 'good' xorg.conf file using 'X -configure' and as mentioned earlier, hwd would not work for me. I installed xf86-video-vmware and xf86-video-vesa as well as both open-vm-tools and normal vmware-tools (not at the same time or together) but can't seem to sort this issue. vmware-tools was able to generate a valid xorg.conf file but it only included a handful of 4:3 resolutions and some of these still showed 0hz. For some strange reason 'startx' and 'xinit' now do not work having failed to find /dev/fb0.
VMware Tools
When I did try to install vmware-tools, it had many difficulties trying to build the modules - mostly regarding to not recognising __FREEBSD__, I cannot remember the complete error. I also tried to build open-vm-tools but that gave an error about not being able to find libproc even though I had procps installed. Stopping open-vm-tools on shutdown also always fails and occurs twice.
I'm going to try reinstalling now that I know a little more about what I did to get things working but if anyone could give me a hand it'd be much appreciated.

After a lot of experimentation I've got a satisfactory installation although a few minor problems remain:
Adjustments required to correctly run Alsa+Xorg in Arch Linux 2009.02 using VMware Workstation
The current kernel does not play nicely with alsa, downgrade to kernel26-2.6.29.4-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/core/ … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.29.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Install/Upgrade dbus:
pacman -Sy dbus
Add hal (if it's not installed then make sure to do so) to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal)
The current open-vm-tools-modules is not compatible with the older kernel, instead use open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1
The installation will prompt you with an error that /etc/modprobe.conf could not be found (as does the current version), add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install pcnet 32 ; /bin/true;
You can now install open-vm-tools:
pacman -S open-vm-tools
To autoload open-vm-tools on start up you need to add it to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal open-vm-tools)
Add vmware-user to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file if you desire (for seamless mouse and display switching), e.g. my xinitrc with xfce4 ends with:
vmware-user &
exec startxfce4
Install the following components: xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse:
(You will not be able to start x if you have installed xf86-video-fbdev and do not have a valid xorg.conf file, this is addressed later)
pacman -S xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse
Lastly we need to edit/create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use our vmware drivers, this will enable automatic resolution switching and seamless mouse functionality:
(All of the following is necessary otherwise X will ignore our vmware drivers)
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VMware Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "VMware Config"
InputDevice "VMware Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Issues
* open-vm-tools fails to stop during a shutdown or /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools stop/restart
* most screen resolutions show 0Hz (although everything works correctly) and adding VertRefresh to xorg.conf produces a major error
* playback of flash video produces a sound artefact when starting - although I think this may be to do with the decoder rather than system
I've marked this as solved although I welcome any suggestions regarding these minor issues. The open-vm-tools one I can probably sort out but it's too late now to look into tonight

Installing vmware-workstation-6.5.3 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

I changed my Fedora 10 laptop to Archlinux 2 weeks ago (and I'm loving it).
So, I also had to move my vmware-workstation-6.5.3 to my new distro, and also all my virtual machines.
I followed the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware) but until I had a working vmware, I had to do something different from the instructions.
So, I post here my walkthrough, if someone needs it.
Vmware package and kernel:
- VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle.
- kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
1. As root cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
[root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
[root@hp]# export VMWARE_SKIP_MODULES=true
[root@hp]# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle --console --custom
2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:
Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes
System path prefix. Please note that choosing a path other than /usr
may result in missing icons, application launchers, and other desktop
integrations [/usr]:
System lib directory [/usr/lib]:
Architecture-independent files [/usr/share]:
User level binaries [/usr/bin]:
Super user level binaries [/usr/sbin]:
Documentation [/usr/share/doc]:
Manual pages [/usr/share/man]:
Header files [/usr/include]:
System configuration files [/etc]:
System service runlevels: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/ <<--------------------------------
System service scripts [/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d]:
Path to Eclipse directory for use with Integrated Virtual Debugger
(optional):
The product is ready to be installed. Press enter to begin
installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.
4. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command.
[memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
It asks to compile modules and you must press de "_Install" button.
After some ERROR messages it asks you the root passord and then it starts to compile modules.
Finally it starts vmware.
5. You must close it again and do this as root:
[root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
7. You must substitute /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in the file /etc/rc.d/vmware/init.d/vmware with your favorite editor or use this command instead:
[root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
8. Restart vmware services and load modules with this command:
[root@hp]# /etc/rc.d/vmware restart
9. There is a common mouse problem (it loses focus outside VGA area 640x480) because of GTK+ new version. To avoid this issue, add this line to the end of "/etc/vmware/bootstrap":
# /etc/vmware/bootstrap
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
10. Now you can start as normal user:
[memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
Or in the gnome menu "System Tools" --> "VMware Workstation"
I didn't experiment any problems with keycodes. I don't know, but they seem to be solved in 6.5.3 version(?)
Hope this help someone!

My vmware install logs don't really help here but they do show where it trails off into oblivion:

Manually Moving VMS from HOST to HOST *WITH* Shared SAS Storage

Hi,
Environment will be 2 Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V servers.
They will be connect via shared SAS. These are two identical IBM servers with shared SAS storage
I am hoping to eliminate using MS Clustering of the Hyper-V servers just to keep things straight forward.
In the event, I had a complete failure of one of the physical server Hyper V hosts, I was hoping be able to manually add/import (not sure what the terminology is here) and run the virtual machines on the second host until the first is repaired.
If there is third party software that can do this, I would entertain it.
In VMware (I had two hosts and would manually remove them from inventory on one server and add them to a second server).
Ideally, if I could keep both Hyper-V hosts in a Windows Workgroup and as vanilla as possible.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been researching all I can. And thanks to all for your patience and help!
Let's start with the hardware to help paint the picture:
2 @ IBM X3550 M4
1 @ IBM V3700
The two X3550's are going to be connected via 6GB SAS Cards (2/server for redundacy)
Current environment (residing on VMWare with older IBM Xseries servers DS3524 connect via SAS connections) 40 users total.
Windows servers are:
1 @ SBS 2011 (One and only AD/PDC)
2 @ Windows 2008 Servers that are CRM (these are Windows Member Servers)
5 @ Windows 2003 servers that are going to be replace with Windows 2008 Servers (these are Windows Member servers) (low usage servers)
Just to recap:
The current environment running VMware 4.1 has both IBM X3500 servers able to see a single 1.5 TB lun (SAS connected) presented by the DS3524.
Currently, in VMware, I can see the same LUN on both servers. I have all my VM's on HOSTA, if HOSTA should suffer a system board failure, I manually connect to HOSTB with the VMware client and add the VMs that I can see on the shared LUN
and add them to HOSTB.
My understanding is that its strongly recommend that my DC (not sure if they are implying PDC or BDC) on a physical server. My hesitation is now I have to introduce a DC to SBS 2011 and manage a physical server and deal with with SBS 2011's quirks.
So I was hoping that if I presented a LUN to both my HyperV hosts (In a Workgroup), and created on my VMs on hostA, if something went very bad with HOSTA, I could connect to HOSTB and "Import" them and manually start the VMs, especially since
SBS 2011 is sensitive.
The client is okay with some downtime, so if the process is supported and works, then I am okay with doing the work.
Clustering or even Replicas will add:
Complexity to the environment
Patching needs to be carefully planned as it would not look good to have to failover due to a Windows update on the primary host.
The tech's that support that environment will now need to know about Clustering and/or Replication ontop of the SAN stuff
I am looking at Veeam, Double-Take to see if they can work with 2 @ 2012 Hyper-V hosts configured in a Workgroup.
The SBS 2011 is the "hinge" that will make or break the success of this project. I personally love the way 2012 Hyper-V works, but it would be great if a physical server outside of the HyperV hosts was not required.
Thanks !

Manage USB drives / removal with VMWare Workstation in Unity mode

We have a peice of legacy software that only runs on windows XP. Our deployment has it running on VMware Workstation in Unity mode. A constant issue is USB drives. The users need to connect USB drives to the legacy app.
The way i'ts currently managed: the drives are set to auto-mount into VMWare with the VID and PID of the drives. Then a DriveRemove.exe utility bat file is setup to eject the drives, and a shortcut is placed on the users desktop. Is there a better way to do this?

Really disappointed in Apple after this!
I've had my iPhone 4S still on iOS5, and wanted to update to iOS6 today. I tried over the air, but it kept failing and suggesting that I try it with iTunes. My iPhone hasn't been connected to iTunes for months, so I first had to update, which makes updating already quite annoying as it doesn't work as intended.
After updating my iTunes, it found my iPhone and I hit Update. After some time it just stopped and failed on me, my iPhone went into recovery mode. After reconnecting to iTunes I get the message; "Your iPhone is in recovery mode, please recover" with a "OK" button. I hit that button and the Update/Restore screen disappears.
Luckily I found the log files in my User data folder and were able to figure out the error number, but for a normal user this would be a point they would give up! My next smartphone might not be an iPhone, the hardware and the experience is great on an iPhone. But updating/settings/app-management and iTunes just suck!

[SOLVED]VMware-Workstation install error

Anyone else getting this error while trying to install VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle? Just started happening after latest kernel update, installed just fine before.

if the version numbers from the second and third command don't match, reboot.
Thanks for the info, I already had libcanberra installed. I manually do that after a fresh install so I don't know why the errors show. Anyway I found out I can do this:
./VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle --console --eulas-agreed
pacman -S linux-headers then reboot
uname -r
find / -name headers
Worked after that.

Shared Variable Initial value not licenced error with cRIO

Hello Everyone,
I've a project that will be deploed on cRIO. This project was created on a different machine and didn't have any error regarding the shared variables. when I transfered the project to the computer connected to the cRIO, I have this error with all shared variable. The error message says that:
1. Initial Values: Not Licenced or can't be edited outside of LabVIEW.
2. Logging: Not Licenced or can't be edited outside of LabVIEW.
attached are two images for the error i have.
Can I have help with this issue?
Thanks in advance

Good day,
Sounds like you are using the DSC module features on your code and you forgot to activate the runtime system on that machine. If you have access to the NI License Manager, please check the status of the license.
We need an active license for the second message but, for the first one you can try to program your own initial values for all of your network-published shared variables by initializing whenever the PC is started. During the initialization portion of your code, you can just write a constant value to the shared variables so the values are the same initial values every time it is run.
