My host system is running Windows 7 and I have an Ubuntu Guest running 10.04 LTS. When I click install VMware tools on my VMware player. The download keeps failing with the message [Connection to the update server failed], every time. I have tried this several times and still haven't had any luck. Is there an alternative to this procedure to install tools on my VM?

vmware tools unavailable - could not find component on update server
Hey there,
i run into the following problem: With the vmware player i downloaded today (VMware-player-4.0.4-744019) i can't install vmware tools. The following error message appears instantly:
"Could not find component on update server. Contact VMware Support or your system administrator."
Upon searching the web it seems like a problem specific to 4.0.2 that has been fixed within a few days. I tried deinstalling / reinstalling but without success. The guest I am trying to use is Ubuntu 12.04. However if I try to download all available tools the same error message appears for every list entry.
Any suggestions? I also tried to find the .iso to download vmware tools for linux manually but couldn't find them. If they are out there, vmware has done a great job hiding them... ;-). Or I am blindsighted.
Any hint greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
hunchi.

Installing VMWare Tools when no X Installed
So I did a minimal server install of an OpenSuse guest, and I am trying to install vmware tools but it fails saying it can't find desktop.
Is there a way I can install the tools without an X install?

Windows 2008 R2 install with VMWare Player
My company is considering using Windows Server 2008 R2 as a platform for a couple VM's. We already have R2 installed on a physical server, so I download the 180 day trial version. When I tried to install the ISO image on my VMWare Player it asks for a Windows License key . My question is; is there somewhere I can get this code? Or did I download the wrong version of 2008 R2? Or is there something I need to do pre-install to keep VMWare from asking for the license key. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

cannot run repair on XP
hi this has been driving me a bit mad.
i can boot into my vmware image of xp in normal mode fine. however i want to bring up the repair option using the xpSP3 disc to attempt to change to VLK license.
The problem i have is that i never get the repair screen when running the XP CD, it goes straight to the format hardrive option.
I have tried the method where the floppy files are attached and i load the scsi drivers via f6, f2 etc but this does not work.
This is driving me a bit crazy and no one seems to know a way around it.
is there anything im doing wrong or missing?

How to download vmware player
Hi,
I'm writing here because I hope that some of you can help me out with the download of vmware player. For some reason every time I hit the download page https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0 there is a message saying that "there are no download files for this product".
Does anyone know the right link for downloading player?
Thanks in advance.

The host OS is Debian squeeze.
I can reproduce the problem, in the vmware.log file in the exact moment I log in skype the following is added:

Dual monitor on Player 5.0.0 build-812388 Broken?
Clicking "Cycle multiple monitors" in VMware Player 5 has no effect.
I just upgraded to VMware Player 5. I rebooted my system and installed VMware tools in my Windows 8 Release Preview virtual machine. The screen resolution within the virtual machine is correct.
When using VMware Player 4, I could click the monitor icon on control bar and the Player would occupy both monitors. This does not work with VMware Player 5.
My configuration is as follows:
- Dell Optiplex 980 (Intel i7 860) with 16GB RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 4550 display adapter
- ATI Radeon HD 4550 display adapter
- (2) Two Dell U2410 monitors in Portrait Configuration (1200x1920 resolution)
- Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
- VMware Player 5.0.0 build-812388
- Windows 8 Release Preview VM build in VMware 4 Player
- VM has installed: VMware Tools for Windows Version 9.2.0, build-799703
- VM's screen resolution is set to 1200x1920 -- display is in portrait configuration
- VM has installed: VMware Tools for Windows Version 9.2.0, build-799703
I have seen one other reference to this issue by ShadeAnalyzer, but ShadeAnalyzer did not appear to have updated VMware Tools within the VM so I do not know it that contributed to the problem in that instance.

Vmware Player does not start (NOT_IMPLEMENTED in codeset.c)
Hi
Since yesterday, I cannot run vmplayer.
The last time I run it, about one week ago, it was working well. I've made several updates since this time, but no update to vmware itself.
I've rebuild the kernel too, but I've run module-rebuild build.
I'm on Gentoo.
Whenever I try to launch it, it outputs this error:
NOT_IMPLEMENTED /build/mts/release/bora-1031769/bora/lib/misc/codeset.c:1708
[1] 3542 abort /opt/vmware/bin/vmplayer
I've installed VMware from the bundle downloadable on the vmware site. I've also tried the package on Gentoo, but it crashes with the same error.
If I rename the folder containing the virtual machine, vmplayer launchs correctly, but then, when I try to open the virtual machine, it crashes with the same error.
Does that mean that my virtual machine is bugged ? I have no other virtual machine to test. The weird thing is that it worked perfectly the last time I used it.
Does someone know a solution to this problem ?
Thanks

Upgraded to Player 5 - Can't launch VM from shortcut anymore.
Since installing Player 5, my desktop shortcut to a VM no longer works. When I click it, instead of lauching the VM, it peppers my Desktop with temp files and then complains it cannot find the VM. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Crazy hack needed for:Save states for Gaming --> 1) saving state x 2) quitting w/o saving 3) restoring x
Hi everyone, :-)
I guess as VMWare Player is limited by design there is not much hope that it works but if it is possible, please tell me how. :-)
I would like to skip the saving part when reloading a save state in order to save time. Clarification: Can I save a state x, then play, then when failing at the game 'unplug the VM' and then restore the save state x?
Nice bonus (i.o.w. not very important) would be:
Savestates can be saved into ramdisk and loaded from ramdisk, using windows-symbolic links or whatever :-)
Multiple savestates
completely automatable with AutoHotKey
Greetings and thanks in advance. :-)
For the curious: In Microsoft Virtual PC I have problems with other things but it is possible:
0) create [a few] save states
1) edit the VM config file so that it points to the save state you want
2) back it up, then double-click it to start from that save state
3) after shutting off without saving, the config file 'says' 'computer was shut off without saving'. Therefore, replace that with the backup from (2).
Every single step is automatable with AutoHotKey and batch scripts by the way. :-)

problem with VMware workstationin8 openSUSE11.4
hi,
Im having a problem in opensuse 11.4 after installing any of the vmware desktop apps (workstation 7.1.4 and 8, server, player etc...). When I first installed workstation 7.1.4 a few months ago it worked fine for a while until I first updated the kernel. After that none VMware app could recompile again the modules, I always got the same error box when I try to launch any vmware app after installation (I've installed and uninstalled a few versions of player,server and workstation with always the same results, of course only one of them a time.)
You can see the image with the error box, Its in spanish, but It basically says that opensuse cant execute the command usr/bin/vmware etc...
I think its something that has to do with modules and services, but I dont know how to solve it. I've got the same issue in 2 different boxes, one running opensuse 11.4 32bits and the other running opensuse 11.4 64bits. I've got some other linux flavours running in those boxes and I dont have this problem with any of them
thanks in advance

File sharing on Player betw host and guest doesn't work on Ubuntu 13.04

How do I run VMWare player with a debug kernel?
Hello,
I need to run a debug kernel (3.8.9-200.fc18.x86_64.debug) for a while but would also like to run my VM's on the same box. However when I start the player I get the following message:
The headers are the same as my regular kernel (3.8.9-200.fc18.x86_64), so I assume I can jsut create a symlink somewhere. Can anybody help?
Thank You,

Audio/Video sync issues
Hi,
I am evaluating vmware player 4.0.1 running under Win 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1 Intel i5 4GB RAM
I've got two VM's up at the moment:
1 x XP Pro 32 bit SP3
1 x Unbuntu 11.10
Using VLC if I play a local mpeg2 (All in Windows XP VM) the lip sync is off (My guess around 300ms)
If I do the same in Ubuntu VM I get a similar discrepancy (Again, I think around 300ms. It's enough to be quite noticable)
[If I run the tests under Windows 7 host native op system it seems to lip sync fine]
(The problem also manifests in an identical fashion, under the VM's, with streaming YouTube/Flash media - i.e. a similar audio/video lag)
Two questions for you:
1/ Is it reasonable for me to expect reasonable lip sync under the VM's ?
2/ If the answer to 1 is Yes then how do I trouble shoot this?
Many thanks in advance, Stef
PS The i5 dual cores do not seem to be stressed at all (Below 20% utilization)

New version of Squid proxy appliance (KingNeutron v7) available now!
--Previous announcement:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/328648?tstart=0
2013.0325 - Announcing the latest V7 of the KingNeutron (Minimalist) Squid Proxy VM 
o Now Based on Long-Term-Support Ubuntu 12.04 ( Precise Pangolin ) -- JEOS ( Just Enough OS ) - Upgraded from Hardy!
o Minimal download size
o ESX* Compatible with SCSI vdisks - Plase Test!
o Note: ESXi users will probably have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces after 1st boot.
o Feature: Squid3 (and this release in general) are notably faster than previous releases.
o Takes minimal resources to run -- 128MB RAM alloc, 2 GB Growable Disk ( +4GB 2nd disk on sdb1, INCLUDED! ++ Pre-formatted for ext4 )
- ROOT SSH logins are DENIED, out of the box -- login as " user " instead and SUDO or SU from there
Vmware Tools is NOT installed, for space reasons.
NO FIREWALL rules
NO GUI
o Bridged networking is used by default, and the VM is expecting to grab a DHCP address on bootup. IPV6 support has again been left Enabled in this release.
(Static MAC address assigned in VMX file - should Just Work anywhere)
o Default STATIC IP: 10.0.244.250
+ This can be changed by editing " /etc/network/interfaces " and then issuing ' /etc/init.d/networking restart '.
Note, this is a TESTING release - PLEASE let me know if there are any bugs!
I have finally been able to test Logfile rotation on ESXi - works Ok out of the box
![]()
IMPORTANT NOTE: When powering on the VM, tell Vmware you MOVED IT - not Copied it -- this may eliminate the hassle that some users have been seeing with " NIC creep ", where eth0 migrates to eth1 ;-)
DISCLAIMER *** - Run at your own risk, default build only includes SSH ( port 22 ) and Squid ( 10.0.244.250, port 3128 )
Not Responsible if this Virtual Appliance wows your ponycatbirdlizardbisongoldfish, and makes it run around in excitement! ***

** Default ID / password:
root / vmroot
user / vmware
SECURITY NOTE: ** End-users are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to change these default passwords as soon as possible, to avoid cracker attacks.
As root, ' passwd root ' and ' passwd user '.
- Feature: The 1st time you login as root, you WILL be asked to change the password. ;-) Otherwise, SSH will not be available.
--Please note that the Ubuntu Precise Linux distro uses " upstart " instead of /etc/inittab, so TTY changes should be made in " /etc/init " now.
Ctrl-Alt-Del has been set to REBOOT the VM for this release. (Changed from previous version.)
Features:
Alt-F5: Bandwidth monitor, updates every (5) sec ( Increased from V4 to save CPU interrupts )
Alt-F9: " Top " display, slightly customized
* Easter egg(s) and some minor speed tweaks and fixes
--Suggested additional software: (' apt-get update; apt-get install pkgname ')
o webmin -- For system configuration (Browser-based config: https://10.0.244.250:10000 )
o webmin-squid
o calamaris -- Log analyzer
o sarg -- Squid analysis report generator
o webmin-sarg
o srg -- Detailed log analysis for squid
o squid-cgi -- Cache manager interface
==============================
Quick instructions (HOWTO):
- Fire up the VM
- Hit Alt-F5 and you can watch the bandwidth monitor
Hit Alt+F1, LOGIN AS root and ** CHANGE THE PASSWORDS!! 1st thing **
Client-side instructions:
- Set ALL of your browser's Cache setting really low, like to 5-8 MB - and Delete it! Huge disk space savings!
- Point your browser's Proxy setting to the VM's IP address ( default 10.0.244.250 , port 3128 ) - you can point it to the DHCP address for fast/temporary testing (issue ' ifconfig ' at the root or User prompt to see the squid VM's DHCP IP address) or change it to whatever matches your home network. I put it as a Class A address by default so it matches my home setup and ((hopefully)) shouldn't interfere with other setups.
--Note that this is a security feature as well. I have my home net setup as a Class A with all-static IPs, and everybody (browsers, Win updates, and apt-get) talks to Squid. Squid is usually the only box that has a DHCP address from the router so it can talk to the Internet.
-- Now here's the neat thing - multiple PCs on your network can have *multiple browsers* - Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE, Safari, Lynx, etc all pointing to the Squid proxy, and it will cache and filter ( ad- and some porn-sites, user definable ) requests for *everybody.*
-- You know how AdBlock Plus works in Firefox? Squid does something very similar, only it does it for ANY browser. Somebody loads the Yahoo website? Well now you'll get it to load -faster- for you because it will be pulled from the Squid cache. Virus updates, ad-aware, apt-get and Windows updates should also be faster because they won't have to be downloaded from the Web multiple times. ( And yes, pretty much all of my physical PCs, laptops, and VMs go through my Squid proxy - I'm "eating my own dog food" here. )

- ACL / file extension filtering:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/squid-content-filter-block-files/
-- There are a *LOT* of config file options; I've done the heavy lifting and marked up /etc/squid.conf with " xxx " marks wherever things have been changed, and it should Just Work out of the box. The maximum filesize that will get stored in-cache is 20MB, set by me. If you're a tweaker though, you can set it up to pretty much store and filter whatever you want. ( Hint: as root, edit the following in /etc/squid3: adsblock.txt, porn.txt, notporn.txt -- and then issue ' squiderr ' )
NOTE: For this release, the /etc/squid3/squid.conf file has been drastically reduced in size (most of the in-file documentation is gone) but you can still search for "xxx" and especially "EDIT ME" strings for important values that may need to be changed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For this release, Squid is using the "network lockdown" settings - so it may not work "out of the box" like previous versions did. Edit /etc/squid3/squid.conf and change the network ACLs to match your setup, then issue ' squiderr '.
-- If you are really anticipating a lot of usage, you should go ahead and bump up the settings - give the VM 256 MB RAM or more, change /etc/squid3/squid.conf for extra memory and cache space. You may also need to possibly tweak some other settings. Repeat as needed - you can always replace the 2nd vdisk with a bigger one, or add more disks.
NOTE: ' squid -kshutdown; sleep 30; squid -z; squid ' will activate the extra disk space once you are done editing the config file.
--> Look in /etc/squid3 dir for ad-blocking settings, and don't forget to ' squid -kreconfigure ' ( or ' squiderr ' ) if you change things...
-- Note for people who like SANE text editors, that don't remind you of EDLIN - I've included Joe (' jstar ', for those of us who actually miss WordStar), and Midnight Commander, which comes with ' mcedit ' -- you're NOT limited to VI !!! The nano editor is installed as well, if you're used to it.
Have fun...
/ Post bug reports 
- If I don't hear anything for (2) weeks, consider it a full release!
----------------------------
--Things to do every so often to keep the appliance up to date:
o It's a good idea to login as " root " once a month or so and run the ' updt ' script. This will update installed packages and apply security updates.
Running ' updt ' will also sync up the VM's time/date.
o Check your logs with ' mc /var/log ' and then use F3 to view the log files
o Check free disk space with ' df -h '
o Check RAM free and swapfile usage with ' free '
- Hit Alt-F9 and you can see your uptime with the running " top " virtual console
--I have had uptimes in excess of 100 days easily with Squid V6 running on ESXi; you just power it on, and it should pretty much take care of itself. However, make sure you limit Squid's memory so the OOM-killer doesn't get you.
./. If you have appreciated my response, please remember to apply Helpful/Correct points. TIA

Installing Antivirus in the Guest OS
I just did a virus scan and found four Viruses that are all related to Java Virtual Machines. This tells me I need to add an antivirus program to my VMware Player Virtual Machine. I feel like a dummy, but I don't know how to install it into the guest program. Can someone give me instructions on how it is done?
Thanks.
