How to install VMWare in Linux

Article Title: an issue with installing VMWare in Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Recently, due to project requirements, we need to install a virtual machine on the Fedora8 system, which runs Windows Server 2003. After we find a linux version of vmware, after installation, each time a VM is started, a message is reported.

Unable to change virtual machine power state: Internal error.

This is an error.

At first, I thought there was a problem with vmware settings. Then I finally found the answer on the Internet:

Ran into this while running Vmware Workstation under Ubuntu Jaunty. I got an error while shutting down the machine through an NX session.

This is a result of a zombie 'vmware-vmx' process running. all you need to do is kill the process. this command sends 'signal 9' to the process. when sent to a program, SIGKILL causes it to terminate immediately. in contrast to SIGTERM and SIGINT, this signal cannot be caught or ignored. for more information: more sigkill info.

Killall-s9 vmware-vmxAfter that, I was able to start up the virtual machine without issue.
