VMware error message
I just done a clean install from Cassandra to Celena. I've installed VMware. I can make a virtual machine. But, when I try to start it. I get this:
“Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error:
End of error message.â€
Can someone tell me how to fix this?

I'm running VMware Server Console version 1.0.3 build-44356bsnipes wrote:I am running VMWare Server 1.0.4 here without issues. Which VMWare version are you running? I have a :
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Brian
This is the files I have in /usr/bin/:
executable files:
vmnet-bridge, vmnet-dhcpd, vmnet-natd, vmnet-netifup, vmnet-sniffer, vmstat, vmware-authtrusted, vmware-loop, vmware-ping, vmware-vdiskmanager
shell script:
vmrun, vm-support, vmware,
Perl script:
vmware-cmd, vmware-config-network.pl, vmware-mount.pl
This is the list I got:scorp123 wrote:Start typing vmware and then hit the TAB key a few times .... maybe the command is now called something slightly different than what I have in my memories.
vmware, vmware-config-network.pl, vmware-serverd, vmware-authd, vmware-loop, vmware-diskmanager
vmware-authtrusted, vmware-mount.pl, vmware-cmd, vmware-ping
ah OK, this means you installed it via the Ubuntu repos? In that case the package manager took care of everything.
Did you try the VMware forums? There are some interesting discussions that seem to deal with the error message you have. e.g.:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/696730#696730
http://communities.vmware.com/message/132149#132149
Also, this not-so-totally-helpful posting mentions that each virtual machine should have its own log file:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/439896#439896
Can you take a look at the virtual machine's log .... maybe there are more details to be found?

Thanks for the help.
I checked out VMware forums. But, what I got from them is that nothing worked for the people having the same problem. I don't know maybe I'm missing something there. I'll keep trying there.scorp123 wrote:ah OK, this means you installed it via the Ubuntu repos? In that case the package manager took care of everything.

i contacted VMware Support. But, they have something called Beta Support. I think it's software they try out on the Genia pigs. Or, they want you to buy support. I can't see paying for it. Because it just doesn't seem to work any way.
I've been trying out Virtual Box. I like it. The only problem is. I can't get the full screen to work. I've got a 19 inch monitor and my virtual machine will go black except for a 11 5/8 inch box for the OS.
He there,
I had the same problem after upgrading. There is a problem with the Ubuntu install.
Download the latest version from Vmware and install it. Every works for me now. Forget the Ubuntu version and run with a download and install from vmware site.
(I could not find the config file either when I ran the Ubunut version.)

John

Just installed VMware Server Console. I can't get it to run. I click on the icon in the menu. It acts like it is going to start. I've ran "sudo vmware-config.pl". Can you tell me what you did?JohnH wrote:He there,

Another approach
Another approach would be to try Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org). Since I've seen that, I've discarded VMWare. I like virtual box better...
Re: Another approach
I've got Virtualbox installed. I like it too. It's just every day or two my WinXP machine becomes inaccessible. And I have to redo it.dracorX wrote:Another approach would be to try Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org). Since I've seen that, I've discarded VMWare. I like virtual box better...
unaccessible
It becomes inaccessible? really? never met that problem. do you have error messages?
Re: unaccessible
I didn't save it. But, if it happens again I will. And post it here.dracorX wrote:... do you have error messages?

dracorX tried to start Virtualbox with the WinXP machine. Got this message.dracorX wrote:It becomes inaccessible? really? never met that problem. do you have error messages?
