Re: [expert] vmware host-only networking and smb.conf
tail /var/log/messages, you probably need to setup a new interface and zone in shorewall. VMWare's SMB stuff is in a separate directory from Mandrake's and can run concurrently.

[expert] VMWare and Win4Lin included in 9.2
Does anyone have any info on the VMWare and Win4Lin that is included with the boxed sets of 9.2? Specifically, are they functional demos, full function apps, etc.? Also, what about the licensing? Is it just the app that is included and a $399 license still needs to be purchased (at least for VMWare)? Just curious. Joeb Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] VMware Martian Source (solved?)
martian packets have source addresses that don't belong on the network they came from -- they're an indication of misconfiguration or mischief (e.g. spoofing). With VMWare in the mix, it probably means that you've enabled bridging, then forcibly set VMWare's bridged interface to a network address that doesn't belong on the network that VMware is bridging too. So don't do that :-) jack On Tue, 2003-10-07 at 12:35, Lawson, Jim wrote: What is this I get this also who the heck is = martian source 192.168.0.1 -Original Message- From: Fajar Priyanto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 2:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] VMware Martian Source (solved?) -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Ok guys, here's my info: Host: mdk91: 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 Guest OS: RH9: 192.168.0.100 Guest OS: Win98: 192.168.0.99 Problem #1: Martian Source notice in host's syslog mdk91 kernel: martian source 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.0.99, on dev eth0 mdk91 kernel: martian source 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.0.100, on dev eth0 Problem #2: Pinging from guest: Destination unreachable Problem #3: I have to setup a static route from host to guests.

[expert] VMWare 4 and USB scanner
I'm trying to use a USB scanner in VMWare, but it reports that Linux won't let it go: The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (usbscanner) on the host operating system which means that the device may be in use. VMware Workstation cannot safely take control of the device until the host driver is unloaded. How do I get rid of the usbscanner driver, and is there a way to temporarily disable it?

That is is the problem. I have the smp kernel running and when you try to build the kernel, it complains that it did not match with the kenerl version. It is looking at the kenerl without the smp tacked on.

Re: [expert] VMWARE $
Try to set extraversion tag to empty in /usr/src/linux/Makefile to make it match to original version of kernel sources. Chances are it will work then... (happened to me ;-)) By the way, I have MDK 8.2 so don't know how it is in 9.x, but Todd Lyons told me that thought it was going to be made 'easier' in MDK9.1: 1) Kernel modules are compiled against /usr/src/linux/include (provided by kernel-source-xxx.rpm) 2) Applications compile against /usr/include (provided by kernel-headers, that were the headers used to compile glibc) This seems to be common for all linuxes not only MDK. So if the first paragraph does not suits you, try to see if your glibc and kernel-headers versions are the same. Let's see what comes...

Question here... is it a USB device? Really dirty way might be to do /etc/init.d/usb stop before loading then /etc/init.d/usb start after it's discovered. Don't have one to test this theory on ... just an idea. James thanks in advance... Toussis Manolis __ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] VMWare and INet sharing.
Has anyone set up a VMware Win98 VM on Mandrake 8. I have Win98 running no problem, but I need Windows to share the internet connection with the host box. I have set up VMware with bridged networking, I have even installed the shared inet connection software disk that WInME creates to allow Win9x machine to share connections. Was this a good idea? I have set up the inet sharing feature of LM8. I have the following message in my syslog which gives a FAIL warning on system boot. ipvsadm: Are you sure that IP Virtual Server is supported by the kernel? Does this have anything to do with the problem? I am using the stock kernel as installed by LM8. The ipaddress is 192.168.0.1 of the host, Vmachine is 192.168.0.2, the gateway for the Vmachine is 192.168.0.1. DNS is disabled. Do I need to do more setting up of the LM config or this a Win problem? The wife still insists on using Windoze, so I would prefer her to use VMware as opposed to muti-booting. Thanks in advance. Dave.

[expert] VMWare configuration
I have my machine set up to dual boot NT and Linux Mandrake 8.0 (2 seperate hard drives). While trying to configure my eval version of VMWare, I saw you could access your NT drive (hda) for the guest OS. What configuration choices do I want to use? My choices listed are below, with the option of setting each to No Access, Read Only, and Read/Write. Which should I use for each? (With all of them selected as read only, VMware starts to boot, and gives me a single line that says LILO 21.7). (The following is the NT drive) hda0 (mbr) hda1 (Win95 Extended) hda2 (Dos 16 bit=32M) hda5 (Dos 16 bit=32M) NOTE: The NT drive is 20 gig, with drive C: using FAT, and Drive D: using NTFS) (The following is the Linux drive) hdb0 (mbr) hdb1 (Linux native) hdb2 (Linux extended) hdb5 (Linux swap) hdb6 (Linux native) NOTE: The Linux drive is 40 gig) Anyone able to assist?

[expert] VMware raw disk -- Full Instructions
Dear friends: WARNING: TRY ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! The subject of using raw disks, that is, real disks, in VMware has been raised on our list a number of times, including by myself. The detailed information is readily available in detail from VMware's Help menu. I clicked on Help in VMware. This brought me to VMware's instructions, which include FULL AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on how to configure a virtual machine for a raw disk. Here are the two sites. I already mentioned the second site last time, but the first site is the crucial one. I just discovered it. I am sure that you'll have no problem figuring everything out from the information provided. Even I understood most of it quite well. It's the technical implementation that I am afraid of.

RE: [expert] VMware 2.4 release candidate
Hi Ian, I downloaded it and got it up yesterday on LM8 with no problems at all. I've used their prior versions and never had a problem that wasn't covered in their docs (excellent, btw). No support for my SBLive! in my guest OS but that's probably Creative's fault. I recommend VMWare highly. Performance was a little sluggish with KDE running at the same time. I switched to Windowmaker and it's great. Only issue with VMWare I'd warn you about is its voracious appetite for RAM- try to give your guest OS 200+ megs if possible. RAM's cheap though.

RE: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.
take a look at the version of VMware you are running. There are issues with some Unix guest OS that were not resolved in 2.0.2 that supposedly are in 2.0.3 and 2.0.2 comes with 7.2. There are also problems with XFree86 4 and it is not yet supported but works as long as you don't full screen it. I believe that 2.4 support is only just coming out Currently, Red Hat 7.1 and other distributions that use the 2.4.x kernel are not supported as host operating systems for VMware Workstation 2.0.3 for Linux. Our engineering team is working on this compatibility issue and we will release an update to fix it as soon as possible. --quote VMware Andy Judge -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lars Roland Kristiansen Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 9:15 PM To: Mandrake-expert Subject: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.

Re: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.
I was suspecting that. There is something up with my install? I mean, I can't even install vmware anymore, the program vmware either hangs or segments. I have tried many fresh installs to no avail. Other apps that ran before also segment, even after recompiling , even with kgcc. I just can't figure it out and it is driving me crazy!

Its a VMware problem, not Mandrake Funny, I have used VMware 2.0.3 on Mandrake 7.2 with 2.4x kernel, Mandrake 8.0 with 2.4.3 kernel and Debian 2.2 with 2.4.2 kernel. NT4 runs fine in all these situations. (Don't know about Redhat 7.1) When a company says that a distribution is not supported it doesn't always mean that it won't work, just means that they haven't checked it out to the point where they would officially endorse its use.

Re: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.
I realize this. However, my point is that it was working fine with 2.4.2 before me messing with 8.0. Now, vmware will segment out with 2.4.2 AND 2.4.3 with the 8.0 final. I know it is a VMware problem, but I just want to know what is going on. If I wanted just push the button and have things work w/o knowing why, I would use windows (chills as I say it).

Re: [expert] VMware 2.0 and Mandrake 8.0.
I tried both. But to not matter! I believe I have found the problem (at least a big part of it). Among the many reinstalls I did, I did a bare install with X and KDE and the such. It seemed to actually work then ( I did not install anything from the second CD except for the kernel source, at this was suggested on the list before). On of these fresh installs allowed both VMware gsx and VMware workstation to work! Even thought it was extremely slow, I started adding packaged one by one as needed. Well, I was recompiling a software, and it needed libsafe. As soon as I installed libsafe, vmware did the exact same crashing and hanging. Infact, many other programs, such as cksfv, also segmented! I feel SO much better now that I can run VMware and have applications not segment on me! You mentioned that you installed vmware many times. Did you just install over the existing vmware, or did you use the uninstall script?

It sounds like you are using mdk as your host, and W2K as your guest OS inside of Vmare, inside of mdk. I have not used mdk v8 yet, but given your above remarks, something is wrong. VMWare does not start by using lilo at all. it is started, once it is installed in mdk, inside of VMware, from the command line in your personal dir. Lilo has nothing to do with Vmware, and is just used for your host OS, to get Linux and whatever other OS you use started. If you installed W2K inside of VMware as a guest, open VMware from the command line, then open W2K from within VMware. Also, I do not know if it works with the 2.4 kernel yet. I use it with 2.17 in mdk 7.2. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: Before you criticize someone walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets angry he'll be a mile away -- and barefoot.

[expert] VMWare XFree86 4.0.2 driver source code
I don't know if this is useful but was curious whether MandrakeSoft has any plans to include these drivers or maybe has already? To quote from the Com[pany Announcement: NOW YOU CAN USE XFREE86 4.0.2 IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE In response to customer requests, VMware has ported our XFree86 3.3.6 guest X server to XFree86 4.0.2. Additionally, we are releasing the XFree86 driver source code back to mainstream XFree86.org and publishing the programming interface. This means that publicly available distributions of Linux will eventually include VMware software's drivers, making it easier to use VMware software with guest Linux operating systems.

Re: [expert] VMware
What is Plex86? Plex86 is an open source (GPL, I think) alternative to VMWare. From the website (www.plex86.org): "The goal of the Plex86 project is to create an extensible open source PC virtualization software program which will allow PC and workstation users to run multiple operating systems concurrently on the same machine. Plex86 will run as much of the operating system and application software natively as possible, the rest being emulated by the PC virtualization monitor. A highly visible and often requested use, would be to allow for Windows software to be run inside of GNU/Linux or other UNIX like operating system. This gives users a migration path towards UNIX, allowing them to run legacy software until native ports or alternatives are available. It also provides a transitionary step for software vendors who plan to port their product to UNIX, but have not yet done so. Users could buy the Windows version product and run it at near native speeds on UNIX, using Plex86, until a UNIX native version is ready. By virtue of Plex86 being an open source project right from day one, Plex86 can also be an extremely useful tool for operating systems development, debugging, instrumentation and profiling. Many compile and run time options can be added, such that more control of the software being run inside the Plex86 environment can be offered to an OS developer, for instance. This will provide much more flexibility and control than is offered in a commercial product where you do not have access to the source code, such as VMware. " The project is still in a pre-release stage. Just a few weeks ago, they succeeded in booting Linux within Plex86.
