Spurred on by success stories of developers using VMs I've decided to give it a try. I am running Eclipse on an Ubuntu 9.04 guest, on a WinXP host. Since my networked drive on the host is backed up twice a day, I decided to share my Eclipse workspace with the VM from the networked drive. All seems good, except on the guest Eclipse fre...

Hi there, I've installed VMWare Server on CentOS and have WinXPx64 running under it fine. However I cannot work out how to get the answers I gave to the questions VMware asks when I installed it. To be honest I guessed a few answers, took the default on most and changed a few based on my best judgement. So it might be a bit lucky I g...
Hi, I'm writing a VMWare ESX automated build script and I'm falling at the last hurdle, probably as I'm really not strong at scripting. I need to secure Grub so in my script I have a like saying; echo "password --md5 password-converted-to-md5" >> /boot/grub/grub.conf This unfortunately places the following into this file; password ...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to remotely debug the Linux kernel running under VMWare (and if so, if there's a way to do it in Windows since linux kind of scares me...). Both are x86. I know VMWare has support for this (I saw a post about remote debugging via gdb), but if there was a way to do it from Windows (i.e. Ecl...
I've got VMWare Server 2 up and running, created a few VMs, been playing around with it. I'm trying VMWare out to see if I'd like to switch from Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. One thing I really liked about Virtual Server 2005 is the ability to use my virtual machine in an ActiveX control (I know...I know...I like being able to tab betwe...

Now that the VMware Player 3 is out with the ability to create virtual machines, I am wondering what I would get for $189 for the full VMware Workstation. Is there a feature matrix somewhere?

As the release date for the public beta of SharePoint 2010 is coming closer and closer, I'm wondering how to set up a developer machine for it. I've heard that for developing on SharePoint a 64 bit system is needed and that Microsoft advises to use Windows 7 64 bit and install SharePoint 2010 on it. I think that won't be an option for m...
I see many deployments where IT groups run effectively nothing but a JVM application stack inside a VM (vmware, &c) instance. I guess I consider the JVM to be a formal VM: what real benefit is it to run your Java application stack inside another VM? ...
In VMs OS-provided real-time scheduling tends not to be reliable. For my application I'd like to be able to detect whether I am running on a VM or not (Linux-only). So I am looking for a nice way to detect (in C) whether I am in a virtualized environment. Depending on the VM used there seem to be various DMI and CPUID strings in use. I...

Browser("Siebel").Dialog("Filedownload").WinButton("Save").Click The code works perfectly fine when I'm connected to the VM via Remote Desktop. On the other side, when I'm starting the QTP test through the s...
