Article Title: Use a classic Q & A in vmwareforlinux. 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.
Q: I have installed the rpm package of vmware and run the vmware command. Why can't I run vmare?
Reference:
A: Please first run the vmware-config.pl, do some necessary configuration, general press the default press ENTER can, pay attention to is, the configuration process to compile vmmon and other modules, please ensure that your kernel-header-source package has been correctly installed
Q: When I run vmware for the first time, I need to enter the registration code. What should I do?
Reference:
A: No message is provided. Please create one by yourself.
Q: I Installed vmware and configured it. It was run for the first time. However, I did not know how to run it and could not run it. the following error occurred when I entered the command in the terminal:
VMware Workstation Error:
Cocould not open/dev/vmmon: No such device.
Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded.
Press "Enter" to continue...
Reference:
A: Check whether your vmmon module has been loaded. You can run ntsysv on the terminal, select the vmware service, and restart it. Or, run the following command directly on the terminal: /etc/init. d/vmware start
Q: After I re-compile the kernel, why can't I use vmware?
Reference:
A: Please re-run the vmware-config.pl and let it re-compile modules such as vmmon, the new kernel should correspond to the new module
Q: How to create a virtual PC?
Reference:
A: click "file"-"wizard"-"next"-"great standard virtual machinie"-select the type of your virtual system-set the name of your virtual PC and the directory where the virtual file is stored -"great a newvirtual disk"-set the Virtual disk size (if there is a Red Cross below, -"enable cdrom" (unless you do not)-"enable floppy" (unless you do not have a soft drive)-"NAT"-"DONE"
Q: I have insufficient partition space in linux. Can I create a virtual hard disk in the fat area?
Reference:
A: Yes, but the performance may be decreased A little.
Q: After setting a virtual PC, I want to modify its settings (for example, I want to increase the memory of the Virtual PC). What should I do?
Reference:
A: In "file"-"open... "load the configuration file of the Virtual PC you want to modify and select" settings "-" configuration editor ". Note that the configuration file can be modified only when the POWER is OFF.
Q: Will I install the system on a virtual hard disk affect the original hard disk partition?
Reference:
A: No. The virtual hard disk is actually A file. You can format and partition the virtual hard disk as needed, without compromising the real hard disk partition.
Q: Can I Virtualize multiple hard disks? Or multiple optical drives?
Reference:
A: No problem. A maximum of four IDE hard disks or optical drives and six SCSI hard disks or optical drives can be set in "settings"-"configuration editor ".
Q: How does the system in a virtual PC support virtual NICs?
Reference:
A: Very good. If the virtual system is linux or win95 or above, the driver can be detected automatically. Other systems have not been tested.
Q: My virtual system is linux. Why does the hard disk information not appear in BIOS self-check when the virtual PC is powered on?
Reference:
A: For linux systems, the default Virtual Disk Type of vmware Is SCSI, which is not displayed during self-check, but don't worry. The virtual SCSI device is successful, the SCSI driver can be automatically loaded during and after installation in common linux versions.
Q: after creating a virtual PC, how do I install windows, linux, or other systems?
Reference:
A: The installation method is no different from that on A real machine.
Q: I only need to install the ISO file of the installation disc of the system. I don't have a real CD. Can I install it?
Reference:
A: Yes, in "settings"-"configuration editor"-"IDE Drives", select an IDE location (where P-M = primary master location, P-S = primary slave location, other), Device Type select CD-ROM Image, enter the absolute path of your ISO file in Name (available Choose button positioning), select "Start Conneted ", select "install". Of course, you must ensure that the boot priority of the optical drive is set in the bios of the Virtual PC.
Q: What should I do if the installer requires changing the disk (for example, installing linux) during the installation of the ISO file?
Reference:
A: When the installer asks for disk replacement information, choose "devices"-"ide? "(Where your iso is loaded)," disconnet and edit ", in the name of the pop-up setting box, select the ISO of the second disc, and press" OK ", then select "devices"-"ide? "," Connect ", and then return to the installation program to continue the installation.
Q: I am not able to support graphical installation interface when installing Windows 3.0 or other versions of linux. What should I do if Chinese characters are garbled during installation on the Character interface?
Reference:
A: There is no solution for the moment. Wait for the next vmware version.
Q: What should I do if I want to make the system in vmware accessible?
Reference:
A: First, ensure that the parent system can access the internet. Then, when creating A virtual PC, define the NIC as "NAT" mode, or set "connection type" to nat mode in "settings"-"configuration editor"-"Ethernet Adapters". The system in vmware can use dhcp to automatically obtain IP addresses, for win95 and later versions, set the TCP/IP attribute to "automatically assigned IP" in the "Network Neighbor" attribute, and do not set anything else. For linux, set the ip address type of the NIC to dhcp.
Q: What should I do if I want to enable the system in vmware to play music?
Reference:
A: First, ensure that the parent system can play music. Second, we must temporarily require that the vmware system be win95 or later. (If I haven't configured the system successfully in linux, who has succeeded in speaking about the experience ); in "settings"-"configuration editor"-"sound", enter/dev/dsp in the device, select "Start Conneted", select install, and then install the win system, after the installation, win will automatically detect the virtual SB-compatible sound card, automatically install the driver, play mp3, and certainly support games. If your win System in vmware has been installed, after the above settings are made, you can search for new hardware again to automatically detect and install the driver.
Q: My System in vmware cannot detect the video card. (win) cannot use the high-color or above mode, or (linux) cannot access the graphical interface. What should I do?
Reference:
A: The graphics card in vmware is virtual and cannot be supported by A General graphics card driver:
How to install the vmware graphics card driver:
1. start vmware, go to the linux System in vmware, and select the option "setting"-"vmware tools install". A dialog box is displayed, just press "OK" (this option is actually a virtual disc in/dev/cdrom, and a virtual drive in this virtual disc), and then:
Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom (attach the virtual disc)
Cd/mnt/cdrom
Ls
You should see a vmtoolsxxx. tgz, copy it to the/tmp directory, and then
Tar zvxf xxx. tgz get a directory named like vmtools
Go to the directory and run install. pl. In general, this script will automatically detect your linux version, automatically install the corresponding driver, all the way to confirmation; if not, manually enter the parameter to try, such as install. pl redhat, for the Red Flag 3.0 and 3.2, you can use this command to smoothly install the driver, and follow startx to enter the graphical interface.
2. if the system in vmware is Windows 95 or later, it will be simpler. After you start win in vmware, click "vmware tools install", which is equivalent to a virtual CD in the optical drive, in systems above win95, if the automatic execution of the optical disc Program (autorun) function is not prohibited, the automatic installation program on the virtual disc will be automatically run immediately, click "OK" to complete the installation process. If you disable the automatic operation function of the CD, you can enter the corresponding optical disk in "My Computer" and run the corresponding setup.exe, restart win in vmware to enter the High-color mode.
Q: How can I access partitions on a real physical hard disk in a vmware system?
Reference:
A: In "file"-"open... "load the configuration file of the Virtual PC you want to modify, select" settings "-" configuration editor "-" IDE Drives ", select an IDE location, select "raw disk" for "device type", enter the device name (for example,/dev/hda) for your physical hard DISK, and select "install, after entering the system in vmware, if it is a win system, you should be able to immediately see the fat or ntfs area on the real hard disk in "Resource Manager"; if it is a linux system, of course, you have to mount it to access it! (Warning: Do not write data from the system in vmware to the partition on the real physical hard disk. Otherwise, the system on the real hard disk may crash !)
Q: How to Use vmware to start the original system on a real physical hard disk?
Reference:
A: According to the above answer on the P-M location to set the real physical hard disk device name, and then power on, press F2 into the vmware BIOS, the boot order to change to hard disk priority, save the BIOS settings and exit (warning: this may cause extreme confusion in the original system configuration on the hard disk. Think twice !)
Q: I Installed vmware but found that the smb service is abnormal. Why?
Reference:
A: The reason is unclear. It seems that the vmware service conflicts with the smb service. starting these two services at the same time will cause the smb service to become invalid. A temporary solution is, the vmware service is not selected when the service is started, and/etc/init is used only when necessary. d/vmware start command loading; if you have a better method, please let me know
Q: Why is my system running in vmware so slow?
Reference:
A:... please upgrade your machine
Q: How can I delete the system in vmware?
Reference:
A: Enter the Virtual File storage directory defined when you create A virtual PC and delete the relevant files.
