VMware-Player on Ubuntu
Ubuntu 17.10
Due to a update bug vmware-player won't compile. But I got can confirm, that version 14.1.1 ist working fine.
If you like to use the cli interfaxe VIX with vmware-player (always use -T player !):
vmrun -T player ...
you will most likely get the error:
vmrun -T player list > Unable to connect to host. > Error: The specified version was not found
To get it running with vmware-player perform the following tasḱs:
- Download the VIX API and install it
chmod 755 VMware-VIX*.bundle && sudo ./VMware-VIX*.bundle
- go into super user mode, change to the VIX-directory and alter the file vixwrapper-config.txt according to your installed components (vmware-player version).
sudo su cd /usr/lib/vmware-vix vim vixwrapper-config.txt > # Workstation 12.0.0 > #ws 19 vmdb 12.1.1 Workstation-12.0.0 > #player 19 vmdb 12.1.1 Workstation-12.0.0 > ws 19 vmdb 14.1.1 Workstation-12.0.0 > player 19 vmdb 14.1.1 Workstation-12.0.0
Voilá:
vmrun -T player list > Total running VMs: 1 > /virtualmachines/Vmware/myMachine
P.S.: remember: using vmrun with vmware-player always needs the parameter '-T player to work!!!
