Hi

I have a problem concerning VLANs and virtualization. The setup is as follows. Our developers are about to get Virtual Maschines with Linux (centos) guests on their desktops. The host machines are Windows 10. Each machine has only one NIC installed and connected to the internal LAN. On this single Lan cable there should be 2 vLans:

Default VLAN 1 for the windows hosts (configured as default vLan on the switch ports)  

VLAN id 311 for the VM (different setup for routing/firewall/proxy)

The Network for the VM must be set to bridged, because doing web development, the developers must be able to access the webservers installed on the VMs via browser. The original plan was to use VMware Workstation Player 15, install the Linux, configure the vLan in the guest and it just works. But no packets left the VM while pinging the default gateway of the vLan 311. To me it looks like something is dropping all vLan packages concerning the vLan 311. The questions are: 

How to configure our cisco switch port to pass two VLANs traffic?

Are vLans supported by VMware Workstation Player 15 or Workstation after all?   

Are they supported in a setup like this?  

How is it done? Must the be configuration under Windows as well?

Help would very nice

Greetings Mahdi

Hi,

after changes in my ubuntu 14.04 computer (mainly related to the gcc compiler - if I understand it correctly), starting VMWare fails.

In the first step after starting, I am asked to perform a Kernel Module Update:

Before you can runVMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

I click on "install", are asked for my (sudo) password and get afterwards

Unable to start services.

See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-12819.log for details.

This file contains the following information.

How can I resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

For Player 14 vmrun is available via VIX installer. After upgrade to 15 this VIX version stopped working.

From what I checked VIX is now part of Workstation Pro install, I thought it should be also in Player installer but looks like is missing in this Workstation version.

In compare datasheet of Pro and Player vmrun is listed for both versions.

How I can install this feature for Workstation Player ?

Best Regards

When starting the VMware player, i always get this error, after which the VMware player shuts itself down.

Anybody could tell me what could be (doing) wrong ?

Mein 64_bit PC nutzt Windows 10. Ich habe VMware Workstation Player und darin Windows XP 32_bit als Betriebssystem installiert. Wie bekomme ich nun meine alten 32_bit Programme da hinein? Geht das überhaupt?

Over the last 10 days or so, for some reason every time I attempt to shutdown or restart Windows (Windows guest - Arch is the host), VMWare immediately freezes and the process cannot be killed to the point I need to do a hard reboot because I can't even shutdown my system cleanly (although my system is totally responsive in every other way before I shutdown with the exception of VMWare) and I get the following showing up when I run dmesg:

I've now tried kernels 4.12.{3,5,6,8}, with VMWare 12.5.6 as well as 12.5.7. The issue also persists with existing and clean installs of Windows 10.

I can't think of anything else that's changed, and everything has worked fine for a very long time up to this point.

Any ideas as to what might be going on?

Estimados buenas tardes.

Soy nuevo en esta comunidad. Tengo una duda.

Tengo una PC Virtual que es con una configuración especifica utilizada para bajar un archivo especifico de internet, editarlo y subirlo nuevamente. La pregunta es la siguiente.

Esa PC se encuentra configurada en un Servidor, pero el inconveniente que tengo es el siguiente, cuando tengo un corte de luz, el servidor vuelve a arrancar pero la virtual no arranca a menos que loguee el servidor manualmente. Hay alguna manera de que se inicie la virtual sin tener que loguear el servidor?

Muchas Gracias.

I have VMware Workstation Pro 14.  I am attempting to load VMware Tools on Ubuntu.  Every time I do this, I go to the menu tabs at the top, click VM>Install VMware Tools and it begins (I assume.  No prompt says so).  From there, I can see "cancel VMware tools installation" in the menu.  It sits there in that state for hours.  I have tried multiple VMs, all Ubuntu based and the same result occurs.  It can be fixed via command line, but it takes FOREVER.  Any idea why it won't just install from the menu as designed?

Ultimately, i am trying to get a full screen version of Ubuntu and be able to create a shared folder.  I use the VM to perform incident response duties. 

Thank you in advance for your attention. 

So i have tried Lan segment, using vmnet 2, changing IPs around and all the sorts, now im upside down on what to do. I know this is not that difficult, im just missing something. Its not a server, client pair and i would like the ubuntu to get on the Internet. I want them to connect so i can do a live acquisition on the windows 7 vm, So any help would be great, thank you

A few days ago I was working for school on a program which was installed in a VM.

Other than this program (EPlan V2.7) i had 2 PDF's, and internet opened up.

I was also working on 2 screens for easier switching.

(My computer has 8GB RAM and an intel(r) core(tm) i5-7300hq cpu @ 2.50ghz)

Suddenly my laptop gave a blue screen which gave the error "Driver_Corrupted_Expool".

The laptop was very hot.

I restarted it, scanned for viruses and looked for updates.

Now i would like to continue working on the program for school but this VM doesn't want to start up anymore.

It looks like it wants to try to start but then it fails. I only see the initial black screen and then it stops and goes back to the VMWare menu.

Other VM's work just fine.

Personally I think I was asking to much from my laptop (2 screens, some programs open) and it got too hot which caused the error.

This could be completely wrong since i don't know that much about computers.

I hope someone can give me a solution.

Thanks in advance!

Installed VMware Player on debian 9.4. The server has 2 E2670 XEON processors with 64GB RAM and 2 TB system drive. Swap space is 128GB and is on.

The Graphics driver is NVIDIA 340 and the graphics card is Quattro 2000 series.

Using the Player for noncommercial use to run a Windows 7 pro version with a Python environment to support open source development of the NanoEngineer-1 application.

File->Open a Virtual Machine allows navigation to the vmx file, which is selected and the "open" button is pressed. The file dialog box disappears and the VM is not opened and not displayed

in the VMware Player GUI. The "Home" entry in blue continues to be displayed in the GUI.

In order to run the VM one must use a file browser to navigate to the VM file and tell it to run with VMware Player.  The VM runs correctly, BUT it is impossible to edit its properties and the installation of VMTools fails every time. Since the VM is not displayed in the VMware GUI it is impossible to edit the VM's properties.

The directories and file permissions and ownership are 777 and mike respectively.

Thanks in advance for any insight,

Even if I select the Windows Aero theme, it still remains as Windows 7 basic. How do I fix this? Also, hardware acceleration seems to be not turned on and I can't change that in display settings. How do I fix that too?

Host: Windows 10 Pro

Guest: Windows 7 Ultimate

Troubleshooting also states that the video card driver doesn't support Aero effects.

Hello,

I am trying to run Kali Linux through VMWare and every time I run it I get the same message.

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 29 D7 8F 2E   GUID:  564D8922-E0C9-F2C7-0ACB=22023AD78F2E

PXE-E53: No boot filename recived

I'm hoping somebody knows how to fix this.

Thank you.

Hello all,

I am working on in a Windows 7 VM trying to change the network location from Public to Home to allow some software the permissions necessary to function. I've scoured the web most of the morning and afternoon to no luck. But best I can tell is that this popped up some months ago after a microsoft update that is not installed on this VM currently. This ends up giving me a triple Fault errors. I have attached the log file below. I have tried copying settings of working previous versions of this VM, microsoft updates, manually setting the network location to Home through regedit running in safe mode with networking and when you open it back up, it instantly crashes instead of waiting. I believe it is something to do with potential corruption of the network locations but am unsure where that would be to update. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Allen

I updated my VMWare Workstation Player this morning to 14.1.4, and now when I start any of my VMs, I get a popup window which says:

Could not get snapshot information: Could not find the file.

Module 'Snapshot' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

I originally thought it was only affecting one particular VM, and I noticed some .lck files in the same directory as the .vmx for that VM. I tried deleting them and restarting, as recommended here: Lock Files, but I still get the error. It's worth noting: I do not have any snapshots saved for this particular VM, so I'm not sure why it's looking for a snapshot file.

I also tried starting a new VM completely from scratch, and I get the same error on the new VM, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fresh Workstation update and not with any particular VM.

I'm running Ubuntu 16 guests on a Windows 10 host.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi,

I have a problem with VMware Player 14. I installed the VMware Tools and I'm working on a virtual machine of WinXP 64 Professional. My problem is the mouse. After login to the machine, the mouse is stopping to respond or the scaling of the mouse is bad- it only responds on the corners of the screen and does it oppositely. I mean, when I'm on the left right corner, mouse is clicking on the right down corner and so on.

I tried reinstalling VMware Tools, changing the scaling of the virtual machine, nothing happens. Please, help

I'm running a Windows 10 VM inside of VMware Workstation Player 15 on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS laptop with an internal 1920x1080 display and a external 1920x1200 monitor. VMware Tools is installed in the VM.

The Windows VM is supposed to always run in full screen mode on the external monitor with the 1920x1200 resolution. This works in general, but when I suspend the VM, vmplayer will always switch to windowed mode and resizes the window (and with it the VM's screen) to something very small before suspending the VM. As a result, on resume of the VM, all program windows in the VM have resized themselves to fit the small screen resolution, and I have to manually make them large again, which is rather annoying.

I previously ran the same setup with Oracle VirtualBox. It didn't have this issue but I had to abandon this platform for other reasons.

Is there any way to tell vmplayer to stick to fullscreen mode? Running "vmplayer -X <VM name>" does not help, none of the VM settings in the GUI seem to address this, and I also couldn't find any useful setting for the vmx file.

How to prevent this automatic window resize?

how do i register with vida and idm and get a user id

Hi,

Is it possible to turn off VMware Workstation 15 Players' auto-sorting of VM's by last used?
