Error installing vmware-tools 9.9 after upgrade to linux-image-3.13.0-46

After having upgraded my guest ubuntu to linux-image-3.13.0-46 I got an error install vmware-tools and I cannot share folders any more.

I ran vmware player 7.0.0 build-2305329 both in Windows 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host machine and during the installation I got the following error log out:

                 from /tmp/modconfig-NVbKuD/vmhgfs-only/inode.c:29:
include/linux/kernel.h:793:27: error: ‘struct dentry’ has no member named ‘d_alias’
  const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
                           ^

Is there any workaround about this issue?

Thanks

VMWare Player vs VMWare Workstation [closed]

Can anyone give me a simple comparison of those two? It is hard to get the idea from their web site.

How to connect to a webserver hosted on vmplayer guest os?

I am running a webserver (eg: tomcat7) in vmplayer guest, with NAT and I am able to view the webserver from guest using it's hostname:port but host browser is unable to connect to this webserver. Any idea? Is there any specific network configuration that needs to be done for host to connect to guest?

Note: I used ifconfig and got ip address from eth8, but ping request times out all the time.

Update I also had to add entries in both machines hosts file for DNS

Fresh new session for rstudio-server

I am running rstudio-server on a virtualised (vmware-player) ubuntu machine, and processing lots of data into the ram. I find that after some inactivity that the session suspends the data. The problem is that it takes a VERY long time to resume this session and it is making both the host machine and virtual machine lag very badly.

I just want to kill the session and start a new fresh session of rstudio-server, but so far the only way I have found which does this is to reisub my ubuntu machine. Does anyone know a better solution?

As a side note, I think entering session-timeout-minutes=0 in /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf as per here should fix the problem of the session suspending.

Windows Phone Emulator error, Hyper-V components not running, Windows 8.1 hosted in VMWare Player

Environment:

Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit as host o/s Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit hosted in VMWare Player (current version) Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone (Update 4)

I get the following error when trying to run a very simple phone app. I know MS says a VM-within-a-VM environment isn't supported, but I know it can work. Has anyone had success with this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Windows Phone Emulator

The Windows Phone Emulator wasn't able to ensure the virtual machine was running:

Something happened while starting a virtual machine: 'Emulator WVGA 512 MB.' failed to start. (Virtual machine ID CADD6546-129A-4683-9A2D-52EAE777E888)

The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'Emulator WVGA 512 MB.' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID CADD6546-129A-4683-9A2D-52EAE777E888).

Prior to seeing the error, the emulator emits the on-screen messages:

Loading ...

The Windows Phone OS is starting ...

And then the error. Of all the Hyper-V services available, the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service is the only one which is running.

USB and VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 x64 [closed]

I am facing challenges with VMWare Workstation and Player on Windows 7 host.

When a USB device is plugged in, the status bar doesn't display an icon for the recently plugged in device. But pre-configured devices such as mouse, keyboard, and CD player are available in the guest.

If I start the Workstation with a device plugged in, I can see an status bar icon after a couple of minutes. When I click on it to connect, I get this message: The connection for the USB Device "......" was unsuccessful. Driver error.

I've tried a couple of smart phones and a couple of flash drives. All have the same problem. VMWare USB Arbitration Service sounds to be running. I've tried with UBUNTU, Windows XP, and Windows 7 x64 as guests.

I've already used information given in these KBs: - kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=774 - ericwijaya.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/vmware-usb-cannot-connect-to-host-usb/ - www.vmware.com/pdf/ws71_manual.pdf

Where should I look further? Any links with help.

How do I get my wireless interface to show up on VMware player for backtrack5? [closed]

I have searched the internet too much all morning and it is getting frustrating.

I've installed VMware player and backtrack5 and got everything ready to go.

I decided to do a project to crack a WPA2 network using reaver as shown in here

http://lifehacker.com/5873407/how-to-crack-a-wi+fi-networks-wpa-password-with-reaver

that person didn't use any wireless adapter, neither did I. So I'm sure there's no need for one.

I have a wireless router and a laptop (Pavillion g7) with wifi enabled and everything going right.

The guest OS for the VM is linux and my main OS is win7.

I run the "iwconfig" code on terminal but only l0 and eth0 show up and not the one that I need (wlan0) , aka the wireless interface card required for the entire process of cracking.

Now if anyone can please tell me how I can bring up the VMplayer to get connected to my wireless or detect it atleast so I can detect and get the Wireless interface info, it would be so appreciated...

My wireless adapter for the laptop by the way is Atheros Ar9485. Please do guide me with this , the project is supposed to be group but I am solo because there aren't enough students in class.

So any help will do me a lot good,thank you.

vmware player not working properly for blackberry 10 dev alpha

I am trying to use the blackberry 10 emulator on my Core i3 laptop, but the performance is horrendous.

I am using Windows 7 and the BB10 dev alpha simulator image. I am using the safe option when booting up BB, because without it there are weird visual artefacts.

The emulator is unusably slow and I have enabled 2 cores on the VMWare emulator as detailed here: https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/develop/simulator/simulator_improving_performance.html

What can I do to improve the simulator performance? It takes more than half an hour to boot the simulator and it is almost completely unusable.

How to connect 2 virtual hosts running on the same machine?

I have 2 virtual hosts running on my Windows XP laptop. One is Ubuntu running inside vmware player. The other is MS virtual PC (so I can test with IE6 ). The Ubuntu virtual host is running my web application with apache. I can point my browser on my laptop at the Ubuntu IP and view my web app. I read this post How to connect to host machine from within Virtual PC image and was able to get my Virtual PC to ping my physical machine using the loopback adapter. But I'm stuck on getting my Virtual PC to see my web application running in the Ubuntu vmware player host.

WP8 emulator on Vmware player not running

I have created a vmware of windows 8.1 in order to develop a wp8 app.

My pc specs :

• i7 2670 (2.2)

• 8 gb ram

• win 7 64

My VMware Player spec:

• 60 gb hdd

• 4 gb ram

I have installed in the VMware Player visual studio 2012 update 4, and all the wp stuff.

When i am trying to build my project i am getting this error:

 emulator Cannot assign the specified number 
 of processor for virtual machine  is out of range

I have searched on the internet but all links i have found refereed to parallels. Nothing helpful for VMware .

I have read this article. I have enabled hyper-v, but i am not sure if VMware can support hardware virtualization, which i think is needed.

My question are 2:

1. Is these any possible solution to this problem?

2. If i got a device and try to debug on device i suppose that i will not have any problem. Am i suppose well?

I will appreciate any help.

Thx for your time.

FIWARE Orion on VMware "Access forbidden"

I have recently instantiated Orion image found HERE on VMware Player. After update to the 0.22 version I can confirm that it is up and running, with curl inside VM:

[root@centimeter ~]# curl -XGET localhost:1026/version
<orion>
    <version>0.22.0</version>
    <uptime>0 d, 0 h, 5 m, 54 s</uptime>
    <git_hash>06bc8fd55ee37567a3754422e78e732c8fd69da8</git_hash>
    <compil_time>Mon May 25 13:25:10 CEST 2015</compile_time>
    <compiled_by>fermin</compiled_by>
    <compiled_in>centollo</compiled_in>
</orion>

However, if I ran this check from host machine (to IP of guest VM or with port forward set properly), I get this:

GET http://192.168.0.104:1026/version
{
    message: "Access forbidden"
}

What am I missing?

I have tried curl-ing to this same IP from VM itself with same error. I have set security rules and tried messing with CentOS iptables, but nothing works. I can ping VM's IP from host comp.

My best guess is that it has something to do with recent CORS implemented. Any help?

Thanks, Dušan

Kibana interface with ELK on virtual host

I use this tutorial to install ELK (Elasticsearch Logstack Kibana) to analyse logs.

I use to install ELK on a virtual vmware machine running ubuntu server 14.04. My computer using Windows 7. Actually I have do this :

• Install Java 7
• Install elascticsearch
• Install kibana
• Install nginx

But now the tuto says :

Kibana is now accessible via your FQDN or the public IP address of your Logstash Server i.e. http:// logstash_server_public_ip/. If you go there in a web browser, you should see a Kibana welcome page which will allow you to view dashboards but there will be no logs to view because Logstash has not been set up yet. Let's do that now.

But I cannot connect from browser (windows real-machine) to the kibana interface (on linux machine). I looking a lot on how configure ubuntu server but I'm probably lost.

Thanks to people that stop here to read my bad english!
