VMware Workstation e tool per linux

[tinumma]

ciao AMD
grazie per aver riaperto il 3d,
quasi mi son trovato nelle stesse condizioni di Mythodea, dovendo
installare i tools di VMware nella macchina virtuale con SO Ubuntu,
nella prima avventura con Linux. :skept:
Diciamo che sono stato piu' fortunato, almeno per trovare il percorso,
:D ma non mancano gli intoppi, il primo :P superato grazie a te, ma poi
per quale motivo Ubuntu durante l'immissione della password (nel
terminale dopo il comando sudo) non da cenni di vita, boooo eccesso di
sicurezza? :)
Comunque per installare i tools mi avra' fatto 10 domande alle quali ho
sempre dato invio, alla fine ...il messaggio:

Detected X.org version 7.1
Problem extracting version of X.org
Extcution aborted.

ha incrinato il mio entusiasmo, ho continuato e ho eseguito pure:

vmware-config-tools.pl

tutto liscio ma alla fine lo stesso messaggio dell'installazione.

Ho riavviato, ma il tool non e' funzionante

nei prossimi due post l'output del terminale alle procedure
che ho rieseguito per la seconda volta.

PS
ho dato un occhiata nel file system c'e' la directory vmware-tools dentro ci sono dei file, ma niente non funziona :mad:

The installation of VMware Tools 5.0.0 build-13124 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

azzz linux

esiste una distribuzione dove non si fa' un uso pesante della riga di comando???

grazie della disponibilita'
cordialmente Fulvio

 

[tinumma]

Ok!

Come si e' capito sono alle prime armi con Linux. :)
Allora l'installazione dei tools di VMware e' andato a buon fine (anche se non capisco la segnalazione di errore), ero confuso perche' a differenza di installazioni su macchine Windows i tools non vengono caricati all'avvio. :cav:

Infatti leggendo le informazioni di VM ho scoperto che bisognava avviarlo con il comando vmware-toolbox, ora dovro' scoprire come rendere automatico l'avvio, vabbe' mo ci provo....suggerimenti? :asd:

Comincia a piacermi Ubuntu. :ok:


PS
vi starete chiedendo cosa hanno tanto d'importante questi tools? Personalmente il controllo del mouse. :nunu:

 

[airex]

felice di sapere che hai risolto i tuoi problemi, l'errore pareva essere proprio legato ai meccanismi di vmware per l'estrazione delle informazioni relative al server X (Xorg)

ps.
quello che hai visto NON è un uso pesante della shell ma solo un "passaggio di sfuggita" dalle sue parti ;)

mmm il server X (Xorg)...:doh:
piano con la carne sul fuocooooo!

pureee! :shock:
Ho capito, sul mio pc, Linux girera' dentro le finestre per un bel poco...adoro gli snapshot. :D

 

[airex]

una volta presa la mano con la parte "grafica" del sistema molto spesso si sente la necessità di qualcosa di piu' diretto e terribilmente piu' potente/flessibile e quindi si finisce per gustarsi la shell e le sue infinite potenzialità ... datti tempo e magari mi darai ragione

Per la cronaca

Riguardo l'errore (con il server Xorg 7.x di Ubuntu) durante l'installazione (per esattezza durante la configurazione ) e' dovuto a qualche bug dei tools di VM, cercando su internet ho visto che il problema era noto.

La versione di VM usata da me e' la 5.0.0 ed i tools per linux sono bacati (pare che lo siano anche quelli della 5.5), per ovviare al problema, ci sono piu' soluzioni, la meno complicata si prelevano dalla versione player del VM ('for free'). :P

Per non disinstallare la versione workstation dall'host, ho installato la ver player su una macchina virtuale con win (un poco VM si e' infastidito :look: preoccupandosi di un eventuale caos, ma mi ha lasciato fare :) ).
Quindi dalla directory del player ho copiato il file linux.iso e ho sostituito il file sulla macchina host.

C'e' un MA con questo accorgimento si risolve il difetto precedente e quindi abbiamo la possibilita' di configurare la risoluzione a video da usare, ma se non potete far a meno della rotellina del mouse :mad: allora conviene tenersi i tools della ver. bacata con una risoluzione massima di 1024x768.
