 Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 8:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED]: vmware question |
 |
|
Hi, ALL,
Don't know if this belongs here, but...
I have vmware-server installed on top of GNOME and trying to run VM inside epiphany (standard GNOME browser).
It appears that I need the VMWare Remote Console Plug-In for the browser.
What is it and how do I install one?
Thank you.
P.S.: This is what I tried:
| Code: |
IgorsGentooOnNetwork ClientServerProgramming # /opt/vmware/server/console/bin/vmware-config-server-console.pl

Do you accept? (yes/no) y
Thank you.
Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
The configuration of VMware Server Console completed successfully.
IgorsGentooOnNetwork ClientServerProgramming # emerge -pv epiphany
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Which version of vmware-server are you using?
The vmware-server-console package is used with vmware-server-1.x, and doesn't require a browser.
If you are using vmware-server 2.x, you don't need vmware-server-console, the plugin is part of the vmware-server package. But AFAIK it only works with firefox (or firefox-bin). Just make sure the server is started, and then point the browser to http://<your_host>:8222
If you are using vmware-server-1.x, you may be able to get around the error you described by putting VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes in your environment (or, from the command line, use "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes vmware-server-console"). |

kimmie,
Yes, after you replied I looked and it showes version 1.1.x.
So I uninstalled it and installed FireFox-3.6.16, but now vmware does not even wants to load the interface.
Any idea?
Thank you. |

| If it's vmware-server 1.x then you do need vmware-server-console; try the command "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes vmware-server-console". |

kimmie,
No, it's a version 2 one:
| Code: |
igor@IgorsGentooOnNetwork ~/ClientServerProgramming $ emerge -pv vmware-server

Did you configure vmware-server using vmware-server-config.pl?
Is vmware server running? (/etc/init.d/vmware-server start)
What happens when you point the browser at http://localhost:8222?
What is the output of "sudo netstat -tlp"? |

kimmie,
Apparenyly FireFox gives the same message when trying to access VM console.
VMWare Remote Console Plug-In is not installed or could not be found.
Any idea?
Maybe there is something I need to grab from the VMware site and install it manually?
Thank you.
Never mind. Sorry for the noise. |
