Geschrieben von: Markus Junginger in English, tags: 8.04, Download, torrent, Ubuntu, VMware, VMware Image
Here, you can download an Ubuntu 8.04 (Desktop) VMware Image. This virtual Linux system with all its applications is usable out-of-the-box (e.g. with the free VMware Player). Thus, it is perfect to test drive Ubuntu or as a secondary operating system running within Windows. The image already comes with the current VMware Tools, Java 6, and Eclipse 3.3 Europa.

FAQs
Is there a “root” account? For security reasons, the root account is disabled in Ubuntu, and you do not need it. Instead use the command sudo.
The downloaded RAR archive seems corrupt (CRC error) – must it be download again? No, the RAR archive has a recovery record and can often be repaired. In WinRAR, choose “Tools -> Repair Archive” from its menu or press Alt+R. After repairing, the checksums should match the values listed before.
If you have trouble downloading, you may try the backup server.

Thanks for the U8.04 VM, it’s a good work (I downloaded previously another U8.04 VM but I couldn’t do such little things like change datetime or launch Synaptic !).
I’m already working (no, in fact playing and trying only) with your U7.04 VM for a while. It’s a good thing to have the ability to experiment another thing that M$ OS. Just a thing : I don’t know if you tried it, but I didn’t succeed in updating the U7.04 VM to U7.10. Did you make it ?
There are so much thing I can’t do actually with Ubuntu, so I keep my XP for the moment. But thanks with your VM, I’m learning … and one day I hope I’ll be able to change.

Hi, I download it. It works fine except I can’t get network to work in ubuntu. Can you tell me how to do the network settings?

I can’t use the network sharing
I have the same issue as Geo.
Anybody can tel me if it is possible to configure the VMWare Player for Folder sharing?
Just a comment for the record; I notice Jarno above had trouble upgrading your 7.04 VM to 7.10. Well, I never had 7.04, so I can’t comment directly on that, but for me the dist-upgrade in ubuntu from your 7.10 image to 8.04 was absolutely faultless. That’s what I’m using now. Thanks again.
The only problem I have is getting the VMWare player to share folders, but I guess that has nothing to do with the distro (the previous one upgraded, which I’m using).
Works perfectly. I’m posting directly from it!
Works great, does anyone know if it’s possible to increase the amount of allocated ram to something higher than 512MB?
[...] don’t plan to, that is OK. Get the VMware Player (free but big download.) And then get the Ubuntu desktop vmware applet *english edition* ( or whatever else you wanna call it. ) at that [...]
Hey can we share the folder to the host operating system in VMPLayer, using this image….
Please let me know
me too…cannot get the networking to work, cannot browse the internet. Could some one please share some tips on how to get the networking to work on this VM?
For German friends:
ich auch… kann den Netzwerkanschluss nicht erhalten, um zu arbeiten, kann das Internet nicht grasen. Könnte jemand einige Spitzen auf, wie man bitte teilen den Netzwerkanschluss erhält, um an dieser VM zu arbeiten?

Can anyone please tell me how to use the Internet; I am using proxy configuration url, it works with other vmware images but this image does not work.
If anyone knows how to configure the network (with proxy configuration url) with this “Ubuntu 8.04 VMware Image”, please tell us.
can you send me the steps to remove the JDK 6 and install JDK5 on the UBUNTU VmWare Image8.04
The VM image works great.
How to change the VM image host name ‘jars-desktop’?
Using ‘hostname’ command, I’m able to set new host name but unable to ping from other systems on the network. Able to ping using old and default name ‘jars-desktop’.
Additionally, when VM image re-booted, the new host name is lost and default name is getting assigned ‘ jars-desktop’
I’m using VM Player on CentOS 2.5.2
Any clues?
Thanks in advance!
I want to increase the allocated RAM from 512 to 1GB.
Does anyone know how to do it?
In VM Player menubar choose
Troubleshoot -> Change Memory Allocation
