What are you trying to accomplish? If your mdk box that hosts VmW/Win is
communicating with your LAN then the Win guest will be able to as well
using bridged networking in VmW.

tail /var/log/messages, you probably need to setup a new interface and
zone in shorewall. VMWare's SMB stuff is in a separate directory from
Mandrake's and can run concurrently.

[expert] vmware host-only networking and smb.conf

[antonovich]

Hi,
I think my problems with getting my home network set up under 9.1 look 
like they are related to setting up samba after enabling host-only 
networking with vmware. This time with 9.2 I set up the networking and 
it was working great (well almost) until I started fudging round with it 
trying to get vmware host-only networking going. Has anyone got this 
working? The idea is to get samba access to my home network and also 
have host-only networking going with my windoze guest in vmware. They 
say this is possible but one needs to go into smb.conf and play around. 
I went in and tried a few things but my conf file was considerably 
different to their example one and I don't really know what is 
absolutely necessary and what is not.
If anyone has got this working, or has an alternate solution could they 
post their smb.conf file, or instructions to do otherwise?
Cheers in advance and treats for you on this most Irish of holidays

Haven't seen this one.  But in the past it is fully functional time
bombed versions of the product.  Only advantage is that if you get it up
and running and decide to buy... you don't have to re-install.

Does anyone have any info on the VMWare and Win4Lin that is included 
with the boxed sets of 9.2?  Specifically, are they functional demos, 
full function apps, etc.?  Also, what about the licensing?  Is it just 
the app that is included and a $399 license still needs to be purchased

Just curious.

RE: [expert] VMware & Martian Source (solved?)

[Jack Coates]

martian packets have source addresses that don't belong on the network
they came from -- they're an indication of misconfiguration or mischief
(e.g. spoofing). With VMWare in the mix, it probably means that you've
enabled bridging, then forcibly set VMWare's bridged interface to a
network address that doesn't belong on the network that VMware is
bridging too.

So don't do that :-)

I installed the guest OS (RH9 and Win98).
Both guests acquire their network setting from host's DHCP server.

Now, strange things happen:
1. I can't ping from and to both host and guests OS. Error message: host 
unreachable.
2. On the host machine, there are a lot of "martian source" notice in syslog 
regarding the ping / whatever network activities from guest OSes.

I searched the net, and dealt with problem #1 by :
route add -host for both host and guest.
Now they can ping each other, sharing internet, sambaing, etc...

However, the martian source notice persists in the host's syslog.
What is causing it? Any idea is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Looking at the output of the ifconfig (ipconfig for windows) for each of the
three platforms would probably be revealing.

What IP addresses are the martian's? (they aren't valid for the network(s) you
have defined, by definition)

Are these UDP broadcast packets from/to port 137 (netbios-ns) coming from the
winders box?

Whatever your problem is, I'm sure it would apply to a Mandrake box ;-)

I can't give the output now, it's at my home pc ;p I'll paste it tonight from 
hhome.

The IP addresses:

One suggestion.  cd /usr/src/linux  then cp Makefile Makefile.bkp (keep
a copy)  The vi Makefile and change this line
EXTRAVERSION = -0.25mdkcustom

to

EXTRAVERSION = -0.25mdksmp

and then do a make dep.  Now the "versions" should match.

Miark have you tried putting the driver into the hotplug blacklist? 
This is supposed to prevent the driver from being auto-loaded upon
insertion.

[expert] VMWare 4 and USB scanner

[Miark]

I'm trying to use a USB scanner in VMWare, but it reports
that Linux won't let it go:

  The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver
  (usbscanner) on the host operating system which means that the device
  may be in use. VMware Workstation cannot safely take control of the
  device until the host driver is unloaded.

How do I get rid of the usbscanner driver, and is there a way
to temporarily disable it?

Hmm, I didn't know about that until you mentioned it. Okay, I put "usbscanner"

OOOps forgot to mention.  cp the .config to config and then copy the
config file you use (in /boot) to ./.config before making dep (probably
not needed but it ensures that the config for the kernel you use matches
the config in the dir.)

Re: [expert] VMWARE $

[Joseph Loo]

I tried your suggestion. It comes back with this instead

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom) does not 
match
your running kernel (version 2.4.21-0.13mdksmp).  Even if the module were to
compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

Any more suggestions?

Re: [expert] VMWARE $

[diego]

Try to set extraversion tag to empty in /usr/src/linux/Makefile to make
it match to original version of kernel sources. Chances are it will work
then... (happened to me ;-))

By the way, I have MDK 8.2  so don't know how it is in 9.x, but Todd
Lyons told me that thought it was going to be made 'easier' in MDK9.1:
1) Kernel modules are compiled against /usr/src/linux/include  
(provided by kernel-source-xxx.rpm)
2) Applications compile against /usr/include (provided by
kernel-headers, that were the headers used to compile glibc)

This seems to be common for all linuxes not only MDK. So if the first
paragraph does not suits you, try to see if your glibc and
kernel-headers versions are the same.

Let's see what comes...

That is is the problem. I have the smp kernel running and when you try 
to build the kernel, it complains that it did not match with the kenerl 
version. It is looking at the kenerl without the smp tacked on. The 
version information is correct but no smp version.

Not trying to push you out, or, blow you off.  But (and it would be
helpful if you would please.) Could you post this question in the
cooker.  Since that list is specifically aimed at the beta (and
pre-beta) MDK distro, chances are better someone can actually fix your
problem. Also since it is an important program (vmware) I'm sure they
would be interested in knowing about the problems you are having.

Manolis,

   I'm not much into USB myself (don't have the cash for the toys I
really want.*grin*)  However man hotplug or info hotplug could well be
your friend there is a file in /etc/hotplug called blacklist.  My
understanding is that you can tell hotplug not to react to specific
devices here (in this case it would be the device Linux thinks you have
I believe you said it was a scanner.) then vmware handles it from
there.  Since I don't have much in the way of USB here.

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/

Is the website for hotplug more info might be there as well.  But my
best opinion on this would be that hotplug would be the key since it
controls how usb devices are handled.

I installed vmware for linux in my mandrake 9.1.
I want to use it for eVC for pocketpc programming with my ipaq.

I have a problem:
sometimes the vmware machine when I plug in my ipaq doesn't respond quickly 
and the device mounts itshelf in the hardware list of mandrake as scanner 
(lol).
After that vmware responds that the device is being used by system and cannot 
be locked for win98 virtual machine.
the question is how to prevent this? how can I disable the mounting of ipaq in 
linux as scanner, or how do I unmount it simply?

There is a unsupported patch to make its modules compile on 2.4, is that
what you mean? Anyway, VMWare no longer provides any support for 2.0.4
so I highly doubt that they're working on a patch for it :-)

I probably shouldn't be using such an ancient VMWare version (bought

Are you updating from Cooker regularly?  If so it may be that the src
you have doesn't match your running kernel... this may be the problem.  

look in /usr/src  You should see a directory that looks like

linux-2.4.21pre4-"X"mdk

Where "X" is the version number of the kernel it's source for... IF I'm
right VMware needs this to match the number of the running kernel on you

Try pointing the include to /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/build/include

What version of VMWare are you running? There's a patch available from
the support site to fix module compilation on >2.4.7 kernels for VMware
2.x. However, I've not built it against the secure kernel.

[expert] vmware with secure kernel

[Vincent Danen]

Has anyone gotten vmware to compile modules for the secure kernel in
8.2/cooker yet?  It's complaining that the source in
/usr/src/linux/include is different from the running kernel
(ie. 2.4.18-6.4mdk vs. 2.4.18-6.4mdksecure).

So I try to build the modules manually, in /usr/lib/vmware/modules, as
this worked well for me with 8.1 when it wasn't building properly, but
now when I run vmware-config.pl it doesn't find any suitable drivers
and I've tried saving them as up-2.4.18-6.4mdksecure-8.2, smp-*, and
even secure-*, with the SMP option enabled in the properties file
because it looks as though the secure kernels are built for SMP.

On another note, is there a performance hit on a single CPU system
running the secure kernel with SMP code enabled?

RE: [expert] VMWare 3.0 and mdk 8.2

[Baines, Dominic]

VMware and mdk8.2 have similar problems with RedHat 7.2 in 
that the modules do not 'appear' to be present. Make sure you have the 
current kernel source libraries installed and rerun vmware-config.pl
pointing to that directory. Worked for me...

If you include a capture of the errors I'll see if they 
are the same as those I obtained ...

Hi All,
I put mdk 8.2 on my test drive then I decided that I wanted to test out
VMWare.  Of course I'd much prefer to test out such things on my test
system.  It seems though that VMWare requires certain kernel modules
which are not out and do not compile when it tries to compile them
itself.  Plus seeing that I'm just trying out VMWare for the first time
and picked up an evaluation copy I noticed on their website that they
said that they do not support folks like me and their self help doesn't

idea of what is going on with VMWare's planned support for mdk 8.2?

Hi!

You may try this:

export CC=gcc

vmware-config.pl

if vmware complains about gcc-2.96 just say OK and try.

I'm going to be rather unhelpful by saying that I have an 8.2 system
that it running VMWare 3.0 with no problem. Nor did I have to do
anything facny, just installed and fired it up.

BTW, the sensivity to the kernel is overstated. There was a problem
going from 2.2 to 2.4, but there were some failry big changes in 2.4
IIRC.

I succesfully used the same verison of VMWare at work on a system that
migrated from Mdk6.0 to 6.1 to 7.1 to 7.2 all with no difficulty.

yes, i made it work thanks to Bill Kenworthy's advice on newbie's list.

A long way? I don't think so.

There is a kernel available as a drop-in-replacement for the stock Mandrake 
8.1 kernel as well as patches for more recently released kernels.

If the patches for Win4Lin were integrated into the kernel by default, 
keeping up would be much easier. 8)

Anyone had any success with VMware Express (2.04) and LM8.1?

The vmmon module won't compile: I've tried the 2.4.7 patch, which is supposed to work 
with 2.4.8 but it didn't in my case.

No DirectX support = no cool games. WINE is working on DirectX support, 
though. I did have it running Unreal Tournament in a tiny window with no

[John Kloian III]

Has anyone had any problems with the latest VMware and Mandrake 8.0?  No
matter what I try I keep getting a Seg Fault.  It appears to be associated
with the vmnet-bridge.  VMware instal says it has built a kernel module
with no errors and it reports that it loads fine, however if I try to run
the progrma I get the magic seg fault with no oter errors.  Plus the initi
scripts will no longer shut down the vmnet-bridge I have to issue a kill
to get rid of it.  Any help would be appreciated

Re: [expert] VMWare and INet sharing.

[DStevenson]

I have returned my system to its original statere-installed from scratch 
an restored from tape important config files.

I have checked the iptables config and all appears OK. I can now connect from 
another machine on the network to the internet. The VMware Win98 machine can 
ping an external address, it can even telnet to an external IP, but it will 
not connect to an www address in explorer.

I must be missing something, is it something to do with DNS/translation ???

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am in the middle of re-building my system after a critical hardware 
failure. I'll try your suggestions and post my results as soon as I have a 
fully fuctioning system again. I have just about got mail working again.

Thanks for your responses.

Re: [expert] VMWare and INet sharing.

[Greg A. Bur]

Dave, 

Check and see if you have iptables installed on your computer.  If you
do the fix is fairly simple, just enable IP Masquerading(make sure ip
forwarding is enabled first) with:

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.2 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j
MASQUERADE

Obviously if you have a different external interface you would
substitute that for eth0 in the above command line.  As to the message
you're finding in your logs, no, I don't believe that is your problem.
Hopefully my little one-liner will help you on your way.  If not let me
know otherwise.

[expert] VMWare and INet sharing.

[DStevenson]

Has anyone set up a VMware Win98 VM on Mandrake 8.

I have Win98 running no problem, but I need Windows to share the internet 
connection with the host box. I have set up VMware with bridged networking, I 
have even installed the shared inet connection software disk that WInME 
creates to allow Win9x machine to share connections. Was this a good idea? I 
have set up the inet sharing feature of LM8. I have the following message in 
my syslog which gives a FAIL warning on system boot.

ipvsadm: Are you sure that IP Virtual Server is supported by the kernel?

Does this have anything to do with the problem? I am using the stock kernel 
as installed by LM8.

The ipaddress is 192.168.0.1 of the host, Vmachine is 192.168.0.2, the 
gateway for the Vmachine is 192.168.0.1. DNS is disabled. Do I need to do 
more setting up of the LM config or this a Win problem?

The wife still insists on using Windoze, so I would prefer her to use VMware 
as opposed to muti-booting.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.

Always read about lots of probs with samba so I felt lucky I did not need
it. Now it seems I have to install it :-(

So what do I do with LinNeighborhood if I still need samba installed?
Then I can use webmin which is already installed and configured.

Hallo!

When you say Allow Acces to the hostfile systeme (in the vmware-config prog) 
, vmware configure samba automaticly, but be sure taht the normal samba 
service is disabeld!

But from my own experience I can say, that this feature is not working very 
well, I had serveral problems with ist, so I recommend you to configure the 
normal samba, therfore you can use tools like webmin or swat, so the 
Configuration is easyer, ...

Another way is to install LinNeigbourhood and you acces from linux to the 
windows share, the tool ist very easy to use an you need't to install the 
normal samba server!

[expert] vmware and virtual samba

[Wolfgang Bornath]

Hi,

installed host os: Mandrake 8.0
installed vmware: eval version of Vmware Workstation

Installation of vmware was easy as a pie, also the following installation
of the guest os: WIndows98.

The very last reason for Windows on my pc is gone now: I can access my
digital camera through the special Windows-software running in vmware.

So far so good. Now I set up the virtual kind of samba which comes with
vmware. The help file says that the host system does not need samba
installed. Everything will be configurated from vmware. I did that.

Now, could someone point me to a howto or similar where I can read how to
get my pictures from the virtual disk in vmware into my linux tree?

Pls don't answer "Through Samba" b/c that's just my question ;-)

[expert] VMware raw disk -- Full Instructions

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

WARNING: TRY ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

The subject of using raw disks, that is, real disks, in VMware has been 
raised on our list a number of times, including by myself. The detailed 
information is readily available in detail from VMware's Help menu.

I clicked on Help in VMware. This brought me to VMware's instructions, which 
include FULL AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on how to configure a virtual machine 
for a raw disk. Here are the two sites. I already mentioned the second site 
last time, but the first site is the crucial one. I just discovered it. I am 
sure that you'll have no problem figuring everything out from the information 
provided. Even I understood most of it quite well. It's the technical 
implementation that I am afraid of. I don't want to make a stupid mistkae 
that will trash my newly installed Win98.

RE: [expert] VMware 2.4 release candidate

[Neal K. Brown]

Hi Ian,
I downloaded it and got it up yesterday on LM8 with no problems at all.
I've used their prior versions and never had a problem that wasn't covered
in their docs (excellent, btw).  No support for my SBLive! in my guest OS
but that's probably Creative's fault.  I recommend VMWare highly.
Performance was a little sluggish with KDE running at the same time.  I
switched to Windowmaker and it's great.  Only issue with VMWare I'd warn you
about is its voracious appetite for RAM- try to give your guest OS 200+ megs
if possible.  RAM's cheap though.
Feel free to pass on any troubles you're having.

Re: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.

[Nima S. Panahi]

I tried both. But to not matter! I believe I have found the problem (at
least a big part of it). Among the many reinstalls I did, I did a bare
install with X and KDE and the such. It seemed to actually work then ( I
did not install anything from the second CD except for the kernel source,
at this was suggested on the list before). On of these fresh installs
allowed both VMware gsx and VMware workstation to work! Even thought it
was extremely slow, I started adding packaged one by one as needed. Well,
I was recompiling a software, and it needed libsafe. As soon as I
installed libsafe, vmware did the exact same crashing and hanging. Infact,
many other programs, such as cksfv, also segmented! I feel SO much better
now that I can run VMware and have  applications not segment on me!

You mentioned that you installed vmware many times. Did you just 
install over the existing vmware, or did you use the uninstall script? 

Re: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.

[Nima S. Panahi]

I realize this. However, my point is that it was working fine with 2.4.2
before me messing with 8.0. Now, vmware will segment out with 2.4.2 AND
2.4.3 with the 8.0 final. I know it is a VMware problem, but I just want
to know what is going on. If I wanted just push the button and have
things work w/o knowing why, I would use windows (chills as I say it).

I was running a (demo) version of VMware, with a Win2K guest OS, just fine
in kernel 2.4.3. VMware has since timed out, but I had no problems running.

I was suspecting that. There is something up with my install? I mean, I
can't even install vmware anymore, the program vmware either hangs or
segments. I have tried many fresh installs to no avail. Other apps that
ran before also segment, even after recompiling , even with kgcc. I just
can't figure it out and it is driving me crazy!

Funny, I have used VMware 2.0.3 on Mandrake 7.2 with 2.4x kernel, 
Mandrake 8.0 with 2.4.3 kernel and Debian 2.2 with 2.4.2 kernel.  NT4 
runs fine in all these situations. (Don't know about Redhat 7.1) 

When a company says that a distribution is "not supported" it doesn't 
always mean that it won't work, just means that they haven't checked it 
out to the point where they would officially "endorse" its use.

I guess this is a case of YMMV (your mileage may vary)

[Andrew Judge]

take a look at the version of VMware you are running.  There are issues with
some Unix guest OS that were not resolved in 2.0.2 that supposedly are in
2.0.3 and 2.0.2 comes with 7.2.  There are also problems with XFree86 4 and
it is not yet supported but works as long as you don't full screen it.

I believe that 2.4 "support" is only just coming out

"Currently, Red Hat 7.1 and other distributions that use the 2.4.x kernel
are not supported as host operating systems for VMware Workstation 2.0.3 for
Linux. Our engineering team is working on this compatibility issue and we
will release an update to fix it as soon as possible." --quote VMware

I am have same problem. I cannot, for the life of me, install a new vmware
machine because of the lilo problem. I have not tried grub or to see what
exactly the problem is, since I just kept using the old ones. Oh yeh, the
problem started when I got 8.0beta2 and was there for beta3. Now, with 8.0
final, vmware segments and does not run anyways. This 8.0 final release is
not as half as stable as Mandrake's other final releases. It feels like a

Lars, I am somewhat confused.  It sounds like you are using mdk as your
host, and W2K as your guest OS inside of Vmare, inside of mdk.  I have not
used mdk v8 yet, but given your above remarks, something is wrong.  VMWare
does not start by using lilo at all.  it is started, once it is installed
in mdk, inside of VMware,  from the command line in your personal dir.
Lilo has nothing to do with Vmware, and is just used for your host OS, to
get Linux and whatever other OS you use started.  If you installed W2K
inside of VMware as a guest, open VMware from the command line, then open
W2K from within VMware.  Also, I do not know if it works with the 2.4
kernel yet.  I use it with 2.17 in mdk 7.2.

[expert] VMWare XFree86 4.0.2 driver source code

[William Bouterse]

I don't know if this is useful but was curious whether MandrakeSoft
has any plans to include these drivers or maybe has already?

To quote from the Com[pany Announcement:

NOW YOU CAN USE XFREE86 4.0.2 IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE 
In response to customer requests, VMware has ported our XFree86 3.3.6 
guest X server to XFree86 4.0.2. Additionally, we are releasing the 
XFree86 driver source code back to mainstream XFree86.org and 
publishing the programming interface. This means that publicly 
available distributions of Linux will eventually include VMware 
software's drivers, making it easier to use VMware software with 
guest Linux operating systems. For more information about using 
XFree86 4.0.2 in a virtual machine, see

Re: [expert] vmware

[generic]

Hmmm ... I have VMware 2.0.3 running fine in 7.2, with sound
working fine too (using a SoundBlaster Live! value) for an NT
guest OS.  I'm using XFree86 4.0.1 too and even my Intellimouse
now works in VMware! (after I installed the silly Intellimouse
driver that came with the mouse within the NT guest OS).

The major problem I've had with VMware is it's ability to
properly display PDF files in Acrobat reader.  They show
up as completely black.  When I open a file in gvim, and
edit it, the editing goes fine, until I do a :w command,
at which point, the gvim window also becomes black.  This must
have something to do with XFree 4.0.1, since this behavior
definitely didn't happen with XFree 3.3.x.

One minor problem I've had is that the serial port within
the NT guest OS only seems to communicate reliably at 9600
baud.

Oh, I almost forgot, I have had a couple of programs crash
VMware hard: Synopsys Design Compiler (during install),
and Microchip's MPLAB (also during install).

hi Michael

I have it running fine on 7.2 with XFree 4 (even though VMWare say 
on their website that they only support 3.x). Can't get any sound 
out of the NT VM, but I couldn't under 7.1 either. Otherwise no 
problems at all.

I had VMware running great under the 7.2 beta. I have since removed VMware
since upgrading to 7.2 final. BTW I was running Windows 98 on a virtual
disk with IP forwarding and using Samba to have access to my files from
the virtual machine.

The one suggestion that I would make is to not use the built-in VMware
Samba server and properly configure/setup the version of Samba that comes
with Mandrake.

If you need a hand let me know via private email...
