Vmware-MUI che non si installa su Ubuntu 7.10
Wmvare Mui e’ una estensione di vmware che permette di visualizzare in una pagina web lo stato di salute delle macchine ospitate e di fare monitoring e piccoli interventi di configurazioni.
QUI UNO SCREENSHOT, non e’ una macchina mia, è giusto per dare l’idea.
Su Debian Lenny si installa alla grande con questi difficilissimi passi:
cd /tmp
wget http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-mui-1.0.6-91891.tar.gz
tar zxvf VMware-mui-1.0.6-91891.tar.gz
cd vmware-mui-distrib
e da root
./vmware-install.pl
Su ubuntu 7.10 l’ultimo dei server vmware che ho in ditta e che credo finira’ in dev/null alla prima occasione l’installazione muore senza errori ma con laconico:
Generating SSL Server Certificate
Starting httpd.vmware:-ne failed
The configuration of VMware Management Interface completed successfully.
alla fine del seup.
La cosa si rioslve assai facilmente con un
ln -s -f /bin/bash /bin/sh
e rilanciando di nuovo
./vmware-install.pl
tant’e…
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-07-27 11:49 /bin/sh -> bash
Sulla slackware andrebbe
Ma anche sulla debian liscia funziona alla grande.
E’ Ubuntu che e’ una cacchina, quella distro mi sta’ perdendo punti alla velocita’ della luce, ad ogni release che esce mi piace sempre meno…
Anche io avevo il problema che ogni volta che accendevo il pc e volevo far partire vmware dovevo dare ./vmware-install.pl su ubuntu 7.10
Poi mi sono rotto e cercando su google ho trovato la soluzione…
Se non vado errato (mi sono salvato la pagina html) quello che segue è il consiglio che ho seguito e mi ha risolto il problema.
$vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
Stopping /etc/init.d/vmware resulted in:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done

Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 done

Virtual ethernet failed
Starting /etc/init.d/vmware resulted in:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured

Then I decided to trace vmware process to get to know where the process was actually dying. After stracing vmware
$strace vmware
, I found out that vmware was checking for a specific file: /etc/vmware/not_configured.
Well, the name was explicit enough… vmware actually create /etc/vmware/not_configured when it cannot start for any reasons.
I removed that file, but still, when I started vmware, the daemon did not start :s
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Virtual ethernet done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done
Virtual ethernet failed
After some time, I actually found out that this failure was actually due to an older installation of vmware-player. Even though I removed it at the time, vmware-player left /etc/init.d/vmware-player to start on boot up :s…. and as a result, messed everything up.
To sort this out, you need to remove vmware-player service simply run:
$sudo update-rc.d -f vmware-player remove
Don’t forget to remove /etc/vmware/not_configured, if it is still there, before you reboot
This actually will prevent vmware-player from being started at boot time and on next reboot, vmware should be starting just fine
.
Hope this helps
poi al limite vedi anche questo link

Spero che la cosa risolva il tuo problema.
Quale problema ???
Se capisco dal tuo post tu avevi un vecchio vmware player che dava (giustamente) fastidio al nuovo vmware workstation, mentre io uso solo il vmware server e in questo post parlavo di come installare il vmware-MUI
Ti chiedo scusa, leggendo frettolosamente ho frainteso.
