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:

Hi, Earlier I was having libvirt-0.7.5 but now I have installed 0.9.8 version of libvirt now. I am trying to start libvirt daemon using the command below but daemon it is not getting started and the PID file is not getting created. Tried /usr/loval/sbin/libvirtd -d option too. In that case I am not getting any error but PID file is not getting created in this case too.

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

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 vmplayer and if not how can I skip this problem? Thanks in advance!

Not that VMWare have released VMWare Server as a free product i''m interested in using it where my hardware isn''t VT enabled to run non-linux environments. Ideally I''d like to run it on the Xen Dom0 environment so that I can run a mixture of Linux DomU and Windows VMWare instances. Any ideas if this is feasible, and which version of Xen I should be considering. At

Hi there, I failed to boot an installer in a VMware player (Version6.0.3 build-1895310) using syslinux 6.03, be it off an hybrid ISO image and an USB stick. Booting succeeds if the VM is set to use a BIOS firmware with both media, but fails using an efi firmware. Trying to boot off the ISO image I get an error message "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception" Trying to

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

Hello All, As part of my clang/LLVM experiments and explorations with different clang-built kernel versions, I have tried to bring up other Linux/Ubuntu applications with their kernel modules also being clang-built. One such case has been with VMware Player 14.1.1. I am sharing this report for interested people that highlights my research and success in overcoming and solving the challenges in

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 .

Hello, I''ve come across a strange problem when installing a particular software package in a domU. I''m trying to install DigiChat (http://www.digichat.com/downloads.html) and the process is immediately killed. I have installed the package with no problems in a VMware VM, UML and native. ...Even installed into a UML, then copied the entire filesystem over and created a domU

I post here this ''user'' triuble because i suppose it came from some strange kernel (mis)configuration. I''ve just upgrade from edgy to feisty, and the communication between guest and host in bridge mode stop working. And in a rather, at least for me, strange way. I can ping from host to guest: root@host:~# ping guest PING guest (10.5.2.120) 56(84) bytes of data. 64

I'm a Windows (non C++) software developer and I'm wanting my software to run under Wine as best as possible. My app uses CHM help files which are displayed in Windows when pressing F1 or clicking Help on the menu, but it does not work under Wine on Linux. It does absolutely nothing. Is see there are CHM viewers available but Wine does not seem to use them. Any suggestions? Thanks,

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) and they hang about 3/4 through where the progress bar goes across the screen
