Help to get VmWare run!!

2005-12-12 Thread dclemen
Hi I have problem to get work VmWare. I read some post and try these
solutions, but I don't get to work it.

I have AMD64 system and have ia32-libs package installed. Has VmWare
sources in /usr/local/src/vmware-distrib directory, and
vmware-any-any-update96 path on
/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib/vmware-any-any-update96 directory.

# dpkg -l |grep ia32
ii  ia32-libs1.5


When run runme.pl in any-any directory I get:

/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib/vmware-any-any-update96# ./runme.pl
./update: relocation error: /emul/ia32-linux/lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol

VMware modules in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source has been updated.

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to
configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. Do you want this script to invoke the
command for
you now? [yes]

you would most likely need to run vmware in a proper chroot
the other problem is kernel modules, im not sure if they work
for 64bit kernels.

RE: Help to get VmWare run!!

2005-12-12 Thread Michael Dixon
I am running Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST 2005
x86_64 GNU/Linux on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2.

I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running.  Here is my
quick list of steps that got me working in case I have to do it again:

. Get AnyAny update
. install ia32-libs
. install ia32 base Debian to /emul/ia32-linux (chroot location) using
debootstrap
. install GSX
. update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to the /emul/ia32-linux libs
directory (otherwise authentication via vmware-authd won't work) 

My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full ia32
chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this, compiling the
vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a problem.  I followed the
instructions in
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
for running debootstrap.

Cheers
Michael

Re: Help to get VmWare run!!

2005-12-12 Thread Jean-Christophe Montigny

Hello,

I have tried to compile it without any chroot at all. It does compile, 
and the kernel modules (vmmon and vmnet) do insert into the kernel 
without a problem. However, binaries are compiled for 32bits system and 
they will fail to launch miserably, looking for libpam0.so, which is not 
compiled in ia-32libs. If you try to merely install a 32 bits chroot and 
then add the lines to the ld.so.conf it will fail as well, because it 
seems some links to libraries are hard coded, i don't know why, it 
doesn't try to search for the libs in the ia-32 system...


And the vmware binaries look for their libs in /lib. debian is hell as 
well, as all the 64 libs are actually in /lib and not /lib64. So there's 
a problem here. :/


I then made an ia-32 chroot, and tried to compile the vmware modules in 
there.
Helplessly, it fails : the compiler says, when trying to compile the 
vmmon module :


  CC [M]  /tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o
cc1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode

Too bad.

Something to try would be to compile those modules within the 64bits 
system and then install them into the kernel modules root, then tamper 
the vmware-config.pl script in the ia32 chroot so that it skips trying 
to compile them. Since you can compile the modules within the 64bits 
system without a problem, that should be okay. You merely would need to 
copy the modules to the correct directory under the chroot, I guess.
Or, simply bind /lib/modules to /path/to/ia32/chroot/lib/modules (which 
is what i did)


And then, let the configuration process do its job. Perhaps it can work 
that way in the ia32 chroot.


I'm lazy, so i didn't try it yet, but perhaps later i'll try, and if it 
works or does not work i'll report it in this thread.


See you

JCM

However, now, vmware-authd runs without segfaulting, but tells me

RE: Help to get VmWare run!!

2005-12-12 Thread Michael Dixon
Hi,

So you have got VMWare running, and the only problem now is authentication?

I have not touched the chroot passwd or group files, since I am not
*running* VMWare chroot'd - I believe in this case the chroot is only
there so all the correct 32bit libraries are available to VMWare.

Did you use the /etc/init.d/vmware script to start VMWare?

Do you have any log entries to show? 
If it's only authentication that's a problem, can you post the relevant
lines from /var/log/auth.log?

Right. I am not running it chrooted either, but since running vmware has 
been kinda voodoo magic... :)



Did you use the /etc/init.d/vmware script to start VMWare?


Yes

Do you have any log entries to show? 
If it's only authentication that's a problem, can you post the relevant

lines from /var/log/auth.log?


Yeah... Thanks for the pointer : that's it !
Well it seems that in spite of correcting /etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd 
it was still looking for the former location of libraries.


In fact I read your email the wrong way. There are two vmware-authd 
files for configuration, one /etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd which i 
edited and served no purpose. The other in /etc/pam.d


Finally i made a symlink from /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to 
/etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd and it works.


Thanks a lot ! :)

Hello,

You're a precious man ! I got it all, and updated my pam.d/vmware-authd file
to point to the correct locations.

However, now, vmware-authd runs without segfaulting, but tells me
authentication errors. I modified the chrooted passwd and shadow files
accordingly. Yet, with any of the accounts mentioned in the chrooted or real
system tree, it fails :/

. Get AnyAny update

debootstrap . install GSX . update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to

vmware-authd won't work)


My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full 
ia32 chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this, 
compiling the vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a 
problem.  I followed the instructions in 
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.

for running debootstrap.

Define extended period of time.  I do builds of my project dozens of

I should point out that the full build builds from scratch, gcc, glibc,

I suspect your initrd is (mistakenly) loading ide-scsi.  I believe the
was a short time when a bug in mkinitrd would load it when it shouldn't.

You could try booting with the kernel option for making ide-scsi ignore
hda, or you can try regenerating the initrd and see if it does something
smarter this time.  The initrd should NOT be loading ide-scsi so that is
what the problem is.

You could add your current hd controller and the ide-cd drivers to
/etc/mkinitrd/modules and then regenerate the initrd and hopefully on
next boot it will be better behaved since those drives should then load
first.

[sarge] kernel source 2.6.14

2005-12-12 Thread fredantispam
Hi all,

Where can I get kernel source for 2.6.14 release ?

I tried to compile from kernel.org, but it fails (I have no err msg at the
hand),
and it seems, to me, that there is only kernel source 2.6.8 for amd64/EM64T.

I apt-get update for unstable  testing, but no result.

What's wrong ?

Any idea ? Url ?

Thanks in advance.

PS : kernel source 2.6.14 compiles fine for i386, so I think this is peculiar
to amd64/EM64T arch, and maybe kernel source 2.6.14 needs some patch...
PS2 : kernel source 2.6.8 compiles fine too.

Re: many lost ticks, clock drifts problems also with debian smp kernel?

2005-12-12 Thread remi . delmas . 3000
Selon Andrew Sharp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Define extended period of time.

My definition for extended period of heavy load would be:

From 2 days up to 2 weeks of Integer/floating point computation with both cores
maxed out, all 4 Gigs of RAM used up, 10 Gigs of swap allowed, log files of
several Gigs incrementally written on a 500 Go RAID0 array, plus heavy network
load.


Usually the clock drift starts to be really noticeable after a few hours, a week
after the machine still runs and computes the clock is 4 months off, you can't
log into the machine because all passwd timers time out before you can even
move your finger !

By the way the 2.6.14.3 kernel seems to have cured the problem for me, but now
my promise IDE controller and my built in ethernet card don't work anymore...

Recovery options

2005-12-12 Thread Jonathan Brandmeyer
I'm currently running an Athlon64 machine with IA32 and AMD64 Debian Sid
installs, using a shared /home partition, all on LVM2.

The latest upgrade to initramfs-tools (I think) broke booting from LVM
on the AMD64 side.  I would like to revert to the older version, but I
don't have any means of running programs on that partition.

There used to be -amd64 kernels in the Debian IA32 repository, but I
can't find one any more recent than 2.6.8, which doesn't work with the
latest udev and initramfs-tools.

Alternatively, I could use a livecd of some kind, but all of the AMD64
versions I've found are marked highly experimental.  So, does anyone
have a good recommendation for one?  It really only needs to be powerful
enough to chroot into my system and run mkinitramfs (eg, must user
kernel 2.6.12+).

Thanks,
-Jonathan

   the street is that dell is going to starting selling amd64 systems
   early next year.  i guess customer pressure can affect change.
  
   anyway, it sounds like what you need is a good contact in the US.  ~:^)

  Dell is to cheap to buy Tyan boards, Tyan has only one or two AMD64
  boards all the rest are Opteron based, whic cost more. If Dell is going
  after the server market then Opteron would be the choice, but AMD64 is
  another story.

 You're not making and sense. The Opteron IS an AMD64 chip.

Very well could be, maybe I should have said Athlon Amd64 vs Opteron. Tyan 
seems to make a distinction on their matrix for main boards.

Athlon64 and Opteron are both AMD64 CPUs.  So are the 64bit Semprons and
Turions.

 Actually the 7174-4 package does compile with 2.6.14, at least on i386

Thanks, Gilles.
I have the last 1.0.8174, not in deb but in pkg from nvidia website.
 
 
 Installing using nvidia's package is highly discouraged due to the mess
 it makes and that future upgrades from debian are perfectly entitled to
 overwrite its files since they are in the wrong place.
Hmmm, there is no 1.0.7676 for amd64, even in unstable :-(

  The most serious problem is that from rebooting it doesn't change states of 
  cooling fans... so it stops on high temperature...
  
  /proc/acpi/fan/xx/state says:
  state   off
  and there's no way of toggle it to on state... for example with:

 Try
 echo 0  /proc/acpi/fan/xx/state
 to turn it on, and
 echo 3  /proc/acpi/fan/xx/state
 to turn it off.
 
 But I think there may be other issues though and therefore you should
 try to report this problem to the acpi ML:

Interesting 

I've had occasional problems with my acer amd64 athlon laptop and I
thought the Turion would be a better bet:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/09/msg00663.html

My machine's been back to Acer twice and the second time they reset the
heatsink.  I've had a couple of shutdowns since but vacuuming the PC
seems to help.

 Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but is anyone else
 having stability issues with nVidia drivers? My X session occasionally
 restarts itself when running a GL screensaver.
 
 Also, I can consistently make X restart if I have a GL screensaver
 being displayed in the little preview window in xscreensaver and I use
 the mouse wheel to scroll up/down the screensaver list.
I have no problem (but I don't use GL screensaver : I use DPMS :-)
Though, X for x86 seems to be more stable than amd64.

yesterdays and todays netinstall cd images

2005-12-12 Thread Dean Hamstead

just trying to use yesterdays and todays netboot install
disk images (the 100mb ones), they cant find the modules.dep
file.

im not sure if this is an image problem or perhaps my
cdrw. can someone with a little bandwidth verify this?

the cd boots, the kernel loads then the console spews
out cannot find /lib/./modules.dep, the screen goes
blue so it seems the menu starts but it is being over
run by endless system errors.

cheers
