I've installed the last version of VMware player (4.0.2) and created a virtual machine with ubuntu 10.04. However, some operations with virtual machine cause errors which I'm confused about. For example, attempts to Install VMware tools fail with
Could not find component on update server. Contact VMware support or your system administrator.
error message.
Please help with an advice about how can I make it work. Thanks in advance.
It seems there is a bug in vmware 4.0.2
I was also experiencing the same problem when i installed ubuntu 11.10
Please try to uninstall and install vmware player 4.0.1
That may solve the problem

I googled before and found that by turning on the "Enable copy and paste" under Guest Isolation, I can copy/cut/paste text from guest to host and vice versa. But I don't see "Guest Isolation" after clicking on Player->Manage->virtual machine settings->option. I have tried to install the VMware tools and I seem to have successfully installed it, but still no use. Is this feature only available in VMware pro?
For Ubuntu (Guest OS), you need to install open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop.
sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
Some versions of vmware-tools are buggy (copy&paste does not work). Try an older version (they can be downloaded for free from vmware.com).
Note that newer Linux distributions already include the vmware-tools. They may not be installed by default (see this answer).
How do I fix this error? The latest version of the software is installed
Do u run it in Windows 10?
If yes, That is because of Oracle VM VirtualBox is not support Windows 10 yet. I tried with the same steps in win7x64 machine, it works fine.
I'm using Vagrant and it was working perfectly yesterday. I didn't change anything that I'm aware of.
I get this error when trying to vagrant up; the error occurs on multiple projects.
My vagrant plugin list is:
vagrant-share (1.1.5, system)
vagrant-vmware-fusion (4.0.1)
I'm running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5.
Looks like vagrant-vmware-fusion plugin is outdated . Try running vagrant plugin update before vagrant up again.
I want to try changing my development environment from Windows 8 to Ubuntu so I would like to know if it is possible to install CF11 Trial on an Ubuntu? It will be my first time working with Linux. I already know how to install Postgre 9.3 and pgAdmin. I'm clueless with CF though. Can anyone help me?
Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 are supported with ColdFusion 11. Here is the list of supported environments. You can download CF11 here. For installation instructions, see: Installing the Server Configuration
Trying to get set up with Vagrant but getting the error:
The "VBoxManage" command or one of its dependencies could not be found.
Please verify VirtualBox is properly installed. You can verify everything
is okay by running "VBoxManage --version" and verifying that the VirtualBox
version is outputted.
Just confused because the Vagrant documentation states:
"The getting started guide will use Vagrant with VirtualBox, since it is free, available on every major platform, and built-in to Vagrant."
Don't want to install VirtualBox separately if its supposed to be included when I installed Vagrant. Running OSX 10.8 if it's relevant, guessing I just need to install VirtualBox? If that's the case, what do they mean in the documentation when they say it's "built-in"?
Installing VirtualBox is required if you plan on using VirtualBox with Vagrant. I'm guessing they meant that the VirtualBox integration is built-in?
Recently, they've abstracted out the VirtualBox specific code and are working on allowing for multiple providers. I believe VMWare is now supported in addition to VirtualBox.
I had this message but my problem was different. I use Vmware_fusion as the provider. Vagrant was not able to detect what provider I am using.It assumed that I am using VirtualBox. Had this issue fixed by calling vagrant up provider flag. Here is the full command
vagrant up --provider vmware_fusion
