Hi
Running the Ubuntu VMware img. on a Dell Laptop (WinXP) and everything works nice so far.
Only got a problem with the screen resolution ,,,the Ubuntu desktop are running (as it looks) in a small window.
Tried to change the resolution inside Ubuntu but nothing happens.
Original settings in my XP screen resolution setup is 1280 – 1024 pixels // Graf.card Nvidia Quadro FX 770M.
Anyone that knows what to do??
By the way thanks to the crew that’s done this img.
Regards
Ingemar

I had an issue with my Ubuntu 7.10 image where I shut down the player not using the conventional shutdown but just xing out of the player. The next time I fired up the image I did not have any mouse support in my image when I pressed control + g to use my mouse with the image. The fix is to VMWare Player > Troubleshoot > Power Off and Exit. After you do this fire up the image again and you should have mouse support once more.

Install this, then let the UBUNTU update system upgrade to 8.04 LTS, that also works, easier than starting from scratch.

Hello
I installed the program, but I cannot get to the internet. I have a cable modem that is always on and works fine in Windows XP. I have the network connection in Ubuntu set to DHCP. What other settings do I need to make to get an internet connection? Thank you very much for your help.

There is a root account in ubuntu to find out / change the root password type: # sudo passwd root.
Don’t foreget the password for sudo (jars).

Guys, this is awesome. I wanted to try linux for a long time but was concerned of the time I ned to spend in setting up. This appliance is great. I have been a windows user and noobi to linux but I was up and running in few minutes after the download. I will explore more. Thanks again for the applince.

traceroute will not work properly with Windows NAT, apparently there is a bug. There is a record of a bug in Win 2000, I didn’t see anything thereafter, but the symptoms are the same. Windows NAT will not properly send thru NAT “time exceeded” packets.

For traceroute to work, use a bridged connection.

To setup a bridged connection, you have to specify which interface will be bridged by rinning a VMWare tool in [dir where VM Player is installed] vmnetcfg.exe

My post above for ICMP was boring. Let me add some spice to it.

I’ve been trying everything, and now ping works Internet wide, but traceroute STILL doesn’t. I am not kidding. I am not sure what did it, because I tried so many things, but now ping works.

Perhaps I should also mention that I am on Windows XP Pro as the host machine.

I found some stuff about Windows 2000 NAT having problems with some ICMP messages making it back to the NAT-ed host, so that’s my working hypothesis now.

I’ve been using this VM for a while now and am quite happy with it.

Resolved a bunch of little issues here and there, but there is one I have not been able to resolve.

I can’t ping or traceroute out from the VM.

I am using NAT to the host. The host machine can ping and traceroute. I first enabled all ICMP in the Windows firewall, and then even turned the host Windows firewall off. Still no go.

So this is either a VM Player or Ubuntu VM issue. I can’t find anything on the VM player in order to fix this.

I can ping the host machine. I can even trace/ping the network gateway in my office, which is not the host machine.

But anything else fails.

Note that I otherwise don’t have networking problems. I can surf the web, check e-mail, etc.

That all seems reasonable. Thanks again, Markus.

Peter, the only reason Eclipse 3.3 is not installed using package management, is that Eclipse 3.3 was not available as a package at the time. Regarding Eclipse plugins, I would favor Eclipse’s update site mechanism. Many plugins are available from the update site and here you will always get the new versions.

Thanks for this, I had no problems getting it started and am posting from it now. I notice that you seem to have Eclipse installed separately from the apt / Synaptic package management. I wonder what the reason for this is. Perhaps posting a comment here isn’t the best way to find out, but I’d like to know if it is sensible to manage Eclipse plugins through Synaptic rather than through Eclipse itself and if not, why not.

I managed to download this once yesterday but it’s now hopelessly corrupt. I’ve tried 3 times with bit torrent and twice each with both of the direct download links and it’s so badly corrupted that WINRAR can’t repair it.

I get the following error in VMware Server 1.0.5 trying to open the appliance (n Server Console)

“Unable to add virtual machine “D:\Virtual Machines\ubuntu710desktop.vmwarevm\ubuntu710desktop.vmx” to the inventory:

Whant can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks

This ROCKS! Thank you so much! I am posting this from my Ubuntu VM running on my XP box, and will be using it as my new dev environment since it will be so easy to archive, and to keep my XP clean.
