[newbie] VMWare question
Hello there, I am having a problem with getting VMWare running, as I try to install Win2000 as a virtual machine in VMWare, however VMWare says that the CD I am using is not bootable, however if I reboot normally it boots up fine, now does anyone be able to point me to some ideas why this is so. I would rather not have to install W2K normally so to speak. Perhaps not the right place to ask but I'll start here and also look on VMWare's web of course. I run Mdk 10.0 BTW.and no floppy either /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] VMWare question
I have found the following site useful for windows problems: http://www.petri.co.il/ You might also try the VMWare forums accessible from the VMWare support page If you have a working installation of w2k, you should be able to modify the following instructions to roll your own bootable copy of w2k: http://www.4saad.com/WhatsNew/Fresh_XP_Install/index.htm The instructions worked as advertized for XP. I have found that installing OSes onto VMWare using real CDs to be a PITA because the drive is only indirectly connected to the VM. It goes much faster if you create an iso image of your CD and point VMWare to the iso file. Lastly, I always thought my w2k cd was bootable, but I only ever tried to install in VMWare where it didn't boot. Since it wouldn't boot in VMWare, I ended up installing w98 and then upgrading to w2k completely overwriting the w98 installation. You could probably also upgrade from w95 or even 3.1 if you can read the CD. It has been working (as well as windows can) for 15 months. I suppose it's possible there's a bug in VMWare.

I haven't tried it on 10.1 CE yet. It works also on 10.1. The difference is though that each time you have to compile the plugin modules again, which has to do with udev.

I have checked the VMware forums and its not only Mandrake who suffers from this problem. I have also tried to install from just plain TXT mode and a lower graphical mode but it errors at the same point. Anyone had similar problems ?

[newbie] VMWare MDK 10CE display problem
Running VMWare 4.5 and MDK10CE (kernel 2.6), can't run in XP in full screen mode. When I try to go full screen I get: UNable to enumerate any DGA modes. XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) initialization failed This is running on a Dell D600 laptop with 32MB ATI Radeon 9000 card @ 1024x768, 24 bit colour. I have it running w/o problems on my old Latitude with VMWare 4.5 and MDK10 CE. Both laptops are up to date as reported by RPMDrake.

Re: [newbie] vmware-config.pl
I ran into a slightly different problem with VMware, I had 4 installed and working with 10CE (using the any script), did a couple of kernel updates, then updated VMware to 4.5. When I ran VMware after the update for the first time it informed me that I had to run the config script again, no big deal, but then informed me that my kernel headers didn't match my kernel. A uname -r returns 2.6.3-4mdk, but my headers now are /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-9mdk, an obvious mismatch. After screwing around for a while I ended up installing the kernel source for 2.6.3-4 from the 10CE DVD (I had to manually find them and force it, urpmi etc didn't help), which of course removed the 2.6.3-9 headers. I then configured VMware with no problem, and after that redid the kernel updates. Everything works like a charm, and my kernel headers (but not my kernel itself) are once again 2.6.3-9 ED Stephen Kuhn wrote: On Tue, 2004-05-11 at 01:51, Thujan wrote: Hi, I can not finnish vmware-config.pl in mdk 10C with 2.6.3-9mdk, script returns with an error despite I have kernel source too?

The default smb.conf that comes with any recent Mandrake needs to be edited only to define the machine workgroup and netbios names and to uncomment the stuff about public shares (you obviously have to supply the fully qualified path to it).

The problem is I have no idea how to set up Samba so this works! Can someone please give me some help? PS. Sound is all buggy in VMWare. Anyway to fix this? How much memory do you have? Two of my VMware installs were clunky until I added memory over 500m. Sound and speed then went up to normal. I'm using VMware with 3 boxes in the office and my laptop. Very satisfactory to wean everyone off of win2k. Lee -- User #223705 Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Which OS is your host and which is your guest. Which version of VMW are you running? Which version of MDK are you running? How are you partitioning?

It's first shot practice anyway. It is worth the buck and a half just to see ms trapped on my tux box. The point here is to get the office (8 win2k boxes) off of win2k, but have 2k usable until the last two programs we still need are replaceable. I Notice I just had trouble when the setup tried to join the running workgroup. Nope, works fine. Just got in to the file server without a hitch. Wonder if I have to go through that whole dismal process with drivers? Took 6 hrs to put 2k on the laptop when I offed winxp. Also, when I had install problems, I got the latest rpm from the VMWare site and installed that. Should I leave it now that I understand the install or start over with the disk?

That beats my average for this crap by about 7 hours. For drivers, all it needed was VMToolkit, and it tells you that when you sign in. It checked in to the lan and when I set up the share I had instant access to everything I had planned. That's great. Should have known wincrap would work better under mdk. Go Billy!

Re: [newbie] VMWare Workstation 3.2.0 Serial Number
From: Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 20:29:26 -0500 I believe there's a crack in this theory I gave up that theory of operation when I quit winsux 'Sides, the good cracks were gettin harder to find anyhow ; Linux has made an honest man out'a me Seriously I agree with your sentiment about cracks in general. But, it seems that everything that is involved with MS (and you have to have a licensed copy of ms-win to run as a guest) gets tainted. After I received Stephen's message about the time-limited s/n, but before his hint, I gave VMWare a telephone call to see what they had to say for themselves and how long the time period would be for. The salesman confirmed that I had a legitimate user license and was entitled to an s/n to use the software. However, according to him, vmware only provides them for the current version. So to get an s/n, I'd have to download a version that I didn't need or want and then install that version instead of the one I had. He confirmed that Workstation 4 had only been released in April and that Workstation 3.2.0 would also be entitled to at least 18 months of web site support (no telephone or anything like that) beginning in April -- this is written on their web site. He then carefully explained to me that the hash in the user license was not the s/n, the s/n was 20 numbers in four groups of five, the hash was in four groups of eight. Frankly, I felt that VMWare was doing a bait and switch which is illegal in the country and state in which they have their corporate headquarters. After the salesman's description of the s/n, I was prepared to play around a bit with the hash to see what I could come up with. However, I had no intention of buying their software under those terms. By their own admission I am in legal possession of a licensed copy of their software, and they refuse to honor that. In general, even when dealing with MS, I abide by terms of the agreements. That's one of the reasons I've begun migrating all my systems to Linux. I can't deal with MS's licenses -- their terms are outrageous and unfair. In any event, my two cents on the subject :^). deedee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] VMware and Samba Passwords -possibly a bit OT
Hi Y'all, Having a bit of trouble with file sharing on the windows 98 guest on VMware. Although the passwords for windows login and Samba are the same, whenever I try to connect to the Linux host using Network Neighbourhood, I am informed that my password is incorrect. Don't know how many VMware users there are amongst you but if there are any that know how to deal with this problem, I'd appreciate some pointers. I've wasted a week's holiday trying to tweak this and R'ing all TFMs and I'm getting nowhere very slowly. If it matters, I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and VMware 3.2 with the built-in Samba running Windows 98 as guest. I've tried setting password level to 8, and using unencrypted passwords (although I might be doing that wrong). Please advise or point me at a useful source, life is passing me by while I'm bogged down in this.
