I'm happily running Ubuntu Linux in a VMWare box hosted on XP. My Linux application opens up your basic server socket port, to which I connect netcat (nc) as a client to listen in on the traffic I'm putting on that socket for the "real" clients. All's well. However, when I open up a Cygwin shell on the XP side and run nc from there it ...

After trying and failing to get my hands on a temporary Mac to develop an iPhone app for a client, I've started to look into VMware Workstation to virtualize OS X. I was wondering if there are any gotchas that people have found, or if the whole thing is unworkable. For the record, I have an old stripey-Apple logo I pried off my old A...
I run VMWare Workstation 6.5 on WinXP. How can I script a way to automatically clone my VM images? I've read about the "vmware-cmd" tool but believe that is only available with VMWare ESX, not Workstation. ...
My coding platform is a Vista machine with 4GB RAM. And while the machine is slick, I know there are 800MB of RAM that is not used at all. (only about 3.2GB or 4GB is used). can I installed something to help my platform for coding? I think Wubi will not be able to use those RAM, but VMware or VirtualPC might be? Or a RAM disk so tha...

I'm writing a toy application that plays with the mouse cursor, and I'm trying to move it programmticly. Using either Cursor.Position = ... or Win32 interop calls work fine on a normal machine, but I'm having difficulties getting it to work under VMWare. Does anyone have any suggestions? EDIT To clarify: I've got a small windows for...
I'm considering doing some Linux kernel and device driver development under a vmware VM for testing ( Ubuntu 9.04 as a guest under vmware server 2.0 ) while doing the compiles on the Ubuntu 8.04 host. I don't want to take the performance hit of doing the compiles under the VM. I know that the kernel obviously doesn't link to anything o...
Hi, I would like to create an application that will traverse a Virtual Infrastructure using the vSphere Web Services API (this part I have handled) and perform and unattended install of some given package on Linux and Windows machines (this latter part I can't figure out. It looks like you can not use the VMware Update Manager to insta...
I'm looking into using VMWares Pocket Ace so that users can work from home/abroad without needing to loan out a laptop. This way I could just have a few Flash Drives that I could loan out when necessary and the user will be able to take it home and plug it into there home pc and use a similar desktop environment. Are there any open s...
The title says it all. I'm currently setting up vmware Server 2.0 for kernel debugging with gdb ( see this setup guide ) and someone asked me why not use kvm? So I ask: kvm vs. vmware for kernel debugging / USB driver development what are the pros and cons of each? ...
Hi Guys, I need to do testing on clean machines frequently so i need some kind of virtual machine emulator which can load and run clean OS images. Do you know any recommended freeware or low cost emulator ? Thanks, Adi Barda ...
Hi all, we have an application that is packaged as a Linux VMWare image. Now we have to find a way to protect it against illegal duplication and installation. We have studied several USB dongle-based solutions, but all of them require modifications of the application at the source code level (simple instrumentation is restricted to Wind...
Hi, I understand Stack Overflow is the place for really specific questions that only a couple of people would be interested in so here goes... I have an application which is deployed as an XBAP which contains some embedded WinForms popup modal dialogs - it's a combination of legacy code and some new stuff and we don't have time for a co...
Hi, I would like to script a build of a virtual machine from a base image, with a number of files and folders being copied across to the target machine, and some software also installed on it. Is this possible? Which technology is best suited to this - VMWare, Virtual PC/Server or Virtual Box? The solution has to run on WS2003 or WS2...
I need to build an installer that deploys one virtual appliance OVF multiple times into VMware ESX servers, and custom-configures each one. I want the user to provide hostnames, IP addresses, and some other information for each VM and then have the installer tool automatically deploy the VMs without requiring the user to follow a list ...
I have a software that is pretty complex in the sense that it uses a lot of interacting processes, os daemons, services, etc. So I think the most sensible way of distributing it would be as a virtual machine image, otherwise the installation in an arbitrary machine would be too complex. What are the pros and cons of such a model? What...
Currently we have assorted development build/test boxes. The target Application is mainly written in Python/gcc, uses postgres and has 2 identical USB devices attached. The principal build OSes are RHEL, FreeBSD & XP on i686. The App needs to be regularly built and tested on a couple of releases of each OS. (Maybe the next step would b...
I'm using a Toshiba Tecra M6 laptop, running Linux Mint as my default OS. I also have VMware player (6.5.0) installed to test some of the applications on Windows. However, it really annoyed me when VMware does not provide proper keyboard mapping. My downward arrow would be mapped as the Windows key, while the Windows key does not work a...
