Hi! Just wondering if anyone has this working ... Centos-7 guest in VMware-10 host (on Windows-7 :-( ) Out of the box, shared folders and drag&drop do not work although X screen resolution sensing is fine (ie xrandr reports the resolution of the host screen as well as the peculiar screen options built-in) and I can Alt-Enter to full screen quite happily. I tried Fedora-22 too but did

Does anyone have vmware-tools from the recent server 1.03 release running in a CentOS5 guest VM? vmware-config-tools.pl goes through the motions except for building the vmhgfs module (which it says is only needed for mapping the host file system) but then X won't start up with the new configuration. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hello, I'm using CentOS 5.5 / 16bit as a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation and have installed the "VMWare Tools" by running vmware-install.pl and vmware-config-tools.pl but can't figure out how to make the VM shutdown, when I shutdown the Windows PC hosting it. Does anybody please have any hints or scripts? Do I need to use any VMWare modules if I just want to shutdown the

I have tried searching google (found page 1 only in the cache), howtoforge.com, linuxhelp.net (older postfix document), centos forums, hughesjr forum and centos irc channel. I was pointed to linuxhelp.net and at first thought that the howto in the forums there was it. Unfortunately, I only glanced at the title when I bookmarked it and when I got back home later that evening and actuallty

Please forgive me if I missed something, but I've searched all over in hopes of finding something documented on a procedure to upgrade a Centos 3.4 system to the beta. I've got the DVD burned and am testing the process on VMWare. All I could figure out how to do was install over the existing partition without formatting, but this was quasi-disastrous so I 'reverted' my

Hello all, As far as which VMWare tools to use - the ones from VM Ware or the open-vm-tools available through the EPEL - is there any consensus on what is better? I know that for CentOS 7 you are told to use open-vm-tools but what is the situation with CentOS 6? Thanks. Boris.

Hi, first of all I would like to voice my deep gratitude to all syslinux developers for this really important software. I am using it in all my automation projects and could not manage without. Unfortunately now I stumbled upon a problem where I am out of my wits and need some help. The core problem is that HTTP transfers by gpxelinux.0 are very slow. Sadly this problem seems to be somehow

Hello, Newbie to CentOS and attempting to run it under a windows xp host. I see there is a open version of vmware tools available but getting various dependency errors when attempting to install. the rpms. Will these tools install for ver CentOS 5 or are they for an earlier version? P.S. How closely does CentOS match Redhat binaries? VMware tools (from workstation 6) install just fine but

Hello - I have installed the VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.i386.rpm package on a CentOS 5.1 system. I then ran the vmware-config.pl program. I chose mostly default answer, except that I did not choose the NAT option; I saw no errors. I used the VMware Server Console to create a Red Hat Linux VM. I also copied an externally created VM into the '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/'

I'm new to NUT, but didn't find a clear answer to this either in the recent "ordered shutdown" thread or in Google: How to shut down VMWare guest virtual machines earlier than the host machine they run on? (For example, if everything normally shuts down at 5% UPS battery, then the VMs should shut down at 10%.) I also read upssched.txt but I can't tell from the early

The timer interrupt works fine in at least KVM, Xen, VMware, and Hyper-V. (I've tested iPXE in all of those virtual environments, and

If it's the VMware document I'm thinking of (titled "Timekeeping in VMware Virtual Machines"), then the issue is that emulating the timer interrupt can cause a heavy load on the host if the guest timer is

Probably the interrupt based timer is not the culprit; now I'm working on /core/fs/pxe/core.c trying to see if there's something wrong there.

Hello, In my testing environment I have two VMs on ESXi 5.0. VM A = dhcp/tftp/PXE/http server, running CentOS 6.2. Syslinux 4.04 with the included gpxelinux.0. VM B = PXE boot client. If I run CentOS 6.2 also on the VM B, I can easily transfer 50+ MB/sec over http between the VMs (wget, links). Now, if I PXE boot gpxelinux.0 on the VM B, and start to download bigger initrd image over http the
