Hi! I need to install vmplayer on Xen guest with centos4.4. When I run vmplayer-config.pl I have problems with inserting vmmon module in kernel. The dmesg shows this message vmmon: Unknown symbol xen_features I read on the forums that vmware is not running on Xen. What I am wondering is if this affirmation refers also to vmpla...

So after the update to CentOS 7.4 vmplayer 12.5.7 is no longer working. I can't believe after all the time that RHEL 7.4 has been released and VMware has not fixed the issue and made a new release. What is everyone doing that used the vmplayer on linux? Thanks, Jerry

When I VNC into 7.4 everything is fine until I run vmplayer (VMware). The vmplayer runs but when I type on the console for vmplayer which is also running a centos image I get multiple key presses - sometimes. Its not everytime - but enough to be annoying. How do I take care of that ? Jerry

Is anyone using vmplayer with centos4.2 as the host? I have several machines where it works great other than an error that says "*** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice" in the xterm window where it is started. However, on one machine it will start to boot windows virtual machines (both win2000 and XP) a...

A colleague has a newly built 64-bit CentOS 5.0 system that, through yum updates, has become CentOS 5.2. VMWare Workstation and Player work fine for my account on it. But a recent configuration of something under their account has produced: vmplayer GTK Accessibility Module initialized /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libspi.so.0: undefined symbol: atk_hyperlink_impl_get_type The same error (I think) comes up if I try to invoke vmware (Workstation). As a reminder, if I su - <my account> and run vmplayer, i...

The answer is to recompile the source tarball with a patch which appeared at: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2686431?tstart=0#2686431 generously provided by https://communities.vmware.com/people/dariusd . Tried it and it works swimmingly.

hi all - anyone find a way to get vmware player 12.5.7 working with 7.4? Thanks - everything good with the upgrade except that. Great job CentOS team!

Hi All, What is the correct way to provide a CentOS 7 - WMware image for ESX ? As an amateur to VMware - I thought - great I can get VMplayer and ESX should be able to import my image... Wrong... I even went through the trouble of "converting" to VMWare workstation and thinking ESX could import that - Apparently still Wrong... I cannot for the life of me understand how one product family is so incompatible with itself. But tha...

Hi, Is there a bug under cron on CentOS 5.2 x86_64 ? kernel 2.6.18-92 Something is strange on my system. I have a simple shell script to run on many computers . When I run this script by hand, everything works fine on all workstations. But if I start this script via crontab vmplayer is never install with no errors. Any ideas ?

Hi, > I don't understand why you say "*But* the El Torito...". I don't see > a difference with what the mkisofs manual says. The manual announces "Mac" for Apple Mac. The program obviously writes Platform Id 1 in this case. The El Torito specs say "Platform ID 0 = 80x86 1=Power PC 2=Mac". In the sum this does not match. A bug in mkisofs would be the

Greetings, I''m trying to set up a minimal CentOS 4 kickstart that installs puppet during the %post and then use puppet to build up the rest of the configuration. I''ve gotten things so that puppet 0.20.1-2 will install using yum during the %post in the kickstart, but now I''m seeing this error when it tries to run during %post and after I reboot the newly installed

...tick with these images dd-ed (and won't be able to check before tomorrow, hoping that one of my computer repairmen neighbors will accept to try, as I own no Mac) At least I did check that there's no apparent regression, as I could boot using each of these two ISO images as virtual CDs on a vmplayer VM (BIOS as well as EFI firmware), off an USB stick on a vmplayer VM with an EFI firmware, and off an USB key on my physical Thinkpad T61. So so far, so good... Expect news tomorrow hopefully for a test on a Mac. Meanwhile, if one of you happens to have a Mac at hand and can try booting it of an...
