My vm's run just fine the way I'm doing it now - what improvement should I expect by learning the method you suggest? In reality, you will learn very little. I don't understand why this is, but a lot of folks seem to confuse running a F9 Virtual Machine in an existing VMware Server setup with installing and running VMware Server itself on F9 so that you can then run *other* VMs. There's nothing that the OpenSource VMware tools is going to do for you if you're trying to do the second as opposed to the first. VMware Server 1.0.6 with the latest vmware-any-any patch is known to work on F9. VMware Server 2.0 RC1 has major issues on F9 - as yet, I have only heard of one person on the VMware community forums claiming to having it running, and that person has so far refused to share how he did it. That leads me to think he's more likely a troll than someone who's actually made it happen. Again, if there is anyone who has figured out the appropriate magic incantation for getting VMware Server 2.0 RC1 up and running on F9, lots of us here would like to know about it.

I was trying to help you to install vmware tools without errors. no, I am seeking information - you made some rather cryptic statements and I was trying to learn something - I'm afraid I'm still not understanding you - I am not the original poster, and I'm having no problems running vmware-server on top of Fedora 9, which is what I believe the original poster was asking about *to be clear, I'm running vmware-server, the latest version, installed from the rpm on the vmware site, on my F9 box *after running the new version as an update to my working vmware installation yesterday, I then ran the any-any 117 patch, which built a new module for my vmware version and running kernel *I then started up a WinXP vm and it produced a message telling me my vmware tools were out of date *I then installed the vmware tools without incident, and my WinXP vm is now running perfectly on top of Fedora9 I still don't understand exactly what it is you're doing. For example, you stated: Before booting your guest Fedora make sure that your vmware cd drive is not pointing to an iso image. After booting install the vmeare tools as you said. Then untar unzip the vmeare tools. First, I'm not booting a guest Fedora - I'm running mostly Windows VM's on top of Fedora 9. Secondly, after installing vmware tools as I've said, my virtual machine runs perfectly; but, you then state that I should untar unzip the vmware tools! OK - let's assume that's a typo, and you meant to say, I should untar unzip the open-vm-tools...If that is correct, what exactly shall I gain from all this? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Noting that I've not worked, yet, with VMWare, at all, I still think the question needs to be asked: Did you start the VMWare server processes? An easier question (based on how VMWare is packaged) is did you run the vmware-config.pl script that comes with the RPM? It will shutdown any running services, and compile the necessary kernel modules for your running kernel (if you haven't made them already, and, no, just installing the RPM does not do this), and then start them up again. After that (if it was successful), you should be able to connect to the server. Good Luck! -- Kevin J.

An easier question (based on how VMWare is packaged) is did you run the vmware-config.pl script that comes with the RPM? It will shutdown any running services, and compile the necessary kernel modules for your running kernel (if you haven't made them already, and, no, just installing the RPM does not do this), and then start them up again. After that (if it was successful), you should be able to connect to the server. Good Luck! Additionally - see this URL: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora9-gnome-p7 I'm not sure if the patching the Op does is need however - it's still a nice guide to use. -- Best regards, Chris () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments There's no place like 127.0.0.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Thanks, all. I had run the vmware-config program and started the server, but I decided to try restarting the server. It complained that I needed to run vmware-config again, so I did. It built all modules without error and started all of the VMware services. One thing which looks odd is that when the vmware-config script starts VMware Services, that the line VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access doesn't have either [OK] or [FAILED] after it. After that (if it was successful), you should be able to connect to the server. No such luck. Starting the browser and pointing to localhost: gives me a VI Web Access dialog (as before), but entering in the admin user/password results in a complaint that the server is not responding, and suggests that I check that the server is running and accepting connections. The following processes are running: vmnet-bridge vmware-authdlau vmware-watchdog vmware-hostd If I go to https://localhost:902, I get the following line: 220 Vmware Authentication Daemon Version 1.10; SSL Required, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC , VMXARGS supported I'll try following Chris' pointer to HowToForge, but if any of this looks hinky, please let me know. -- Michael Eager[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

This is what got built and started on my machine: Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor [ OK ] Virtual ethernet[ OK ] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ] Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background)[ OK ] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 [ OK ] Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background)[ OK ] NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 [ OK ] Starting VMware virtual machines... [ OK ] How does this compare with your build? If I go to https://localhost:902, I get the following line: 220 Vmware Authentication Daemon Version 1.10; SSL Required, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC , VMXARGS supported Same as me, but it runs on a different port number on my machine. YMMV I'll try following Chris' pointer to HowToForge, but if any of this looks hinky, please let me know. Not sure. Have you looked closely at the results of your config run? Were there *any* errors at all? Warnings? -- Kevin J.
