vmware and network trouble

santo · 2004-03-03 12:16:53

thanx to several other posts, I was able to get vmware installed and running on my Arch Linux box.

Well, it is running, but I don't have a network connection anymore.

whenever the vmware modules (vmmon and vmnet) are loaded, my network connection disappears.
ifconfig still shows me the correct ip address (only when the modules were not loaded at boot time, otherwise I never get an ip address), but I cannot get on the net anymore, nor can I ping any other computer on my network.

I googled already, searched on the vmware site, but cannot find a solution.

i just upgraded to kernel 2.6.3 in the hope it could solve my vmware problem, but it isn't.

Followed the directions in the other vmware-related threads (installed vmware patch for 2.6 kernel etc), but still the same problem.

This is the output of dmesg:

[ and again, and again, ... ]

I run vmware without any problems under SUSE 9.0 on the same machine.

Any help appreciated.

santo · 2004-03-04 17:18:10

Finally I solved the problem by replacing the NIC with another NIC (same brand, same type).

Strange, but it works now.

Still one problem with vmware though:
I'm not able to use the parallel port.
modules parport & parport_pc are loaded, /dev/parport0 is there,
but vmware says it cannot find the port.

any suggestions ?

santo · 2004-03-05 12:36:02

It seems that the problem with the parport has something to do with ppdev that's not loaded.

So I wanted to do a modprobe ppdev to test it, but it seems there is no ppdev module for my 2.6.3 kernel.

how can I create/compile this ppdev module ?

whol · 2004-03-10 13:54:47

Hi Santo,

I am going to be installing Arch on my main PC, and I am going to have to get VMWare running. I appreciate your posts. Do you have a summary of what you had to do to get VMWare to work? Did you have to create some directories, like when VMWare is installed on Slackware?

thx!

santo · 2004-03-11 08:12:48

well, I don't have a summary or something like that, but I try to sum the steps right here (I asume you have kernel 2.6.x, if not skip the steps in red):

1) first of all, get the needed software, patches, ...:
- vmware (of course)
- download http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-config.pl.diff
- download http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-an … e53.tar.gz

2) before we begin, we need to do some preparation
because arch linux doesn't use init folders in the style of rc0.d .. rc6.d, we have to create some simlinks:

cd /etc
for a in `seq 0 5`; do ln -s rc.d rc$a.d; done

3) now let's start installing vmware. First unpack it to a temporary folder:

cd /var/tmp/install
tar zxvf VMware-workstation-<version>-<build>.tar.gz     #this creates a folder "/var/tmp/install/vmware-distrib"

4) invoke the installer:

./vmware-install.pl

accept the defaults (unless you know what you're doing), with one exception:
if you're asked where to place the init scripts / startup scripts, then don't accept the default of /etc,
but instead say to install them in /etc/vmware because there is already a folder /etc/vmware
and this would give trouble if you accepted the default answer of /etc

Note: If you don't have kernel 2.6.<x>, you can ignore the following
and just answer yes to this question, follow the steps to configure vmware,
and continue with step 7
In case you do have kernel 2.6.<x>, continue here:
When you're asked to invoke the configuration, answer no:

Before running VMware Workstation for the first time, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the
command for you now? [no]

5) apply the patch you downloaded to /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl:

patch /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl <path-to>/vmware-config.pl.diff

6) untar vmware-any-any-update53.tar.gz and run the runme.pl script

tar zxvf vmware-any-any-update53.tar.gz
./runme.pl

This will generate two modules:
- /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmmon.o
- /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmnet.o

give them the extension ".ko":

mv /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmmon.o /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmmon.ko
mv /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmnet.o /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmnet.ko

7) make a symlink from /dev/vmmon to /dev/misc/vmmon:

ln -s /dev/misc/vmmon /dev/vmmon

8 ) copy insmod from /bin to /sbin or change the vmware startup script to point at /bin/insmod

now you should be able to run vmware, but you'll probably notice it won't run anymore after you've rebooted your machine.
This is because the vmnet<x> and parport<x> devices do not exist anymore for some reason.
To avoid this, you can create a little script to make those devices every time your machine is booted:

vi /etc/rc.d/mkvnet

and paste this into the file:

#!/bin/sh
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/misc/vmmon c 10 165
ln -s /dev/misc/vmmon /dev/vmmon
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet0 c 119 0
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet1 c 119 1
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet2 c 119 2
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet3 c 119 3
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet4 c 119 4
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet5 c 119 5
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet6 c 119 6
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet7 c 119 7
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet8 c 119 8
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/vmnet9 c 119 9
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/parport0 c 99 0
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/parport1 c 99 1
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/parport2 c 99 2
mknod --mode=0600 /dev/parport3 c 99 3

make the script executable:

chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/mkvnet

and add it to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(pcmcia network mkvnet)

also put /etc/rc.d/S90vmware in your DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(pcmcia network mkvnet S90vmware)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- the mkvnet script also tries to make the devices when shutting down the machine. If you cannot live with that, you can modify the script to only run at shutdown, something like this:

case "$1" in
start)
# make the devices here
;;
stop)
# do nothing, just a dummy entry
;;
*) # display syntax
echo "Usage: mkvnet {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac

- make sure the user who is running vmware has the right privileges for accessing the devices created by the mkvnet script.
change the script if necessary (e.g. replace 0600 with 0666)

- insmod is in the package pciutils, so grab it if you don't have it:

pacman -S pciutils

- I still haven't found a solution for the parallel port problem

- you can also find tips/tricks in the following topics (my vmware installation was largely based on those topics):
- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=2254
- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=2150

I hope this helps you in setting up vmware on your arch linux box[/list]

Awesome! I will trying to install this weekend, I just got sound (xmms) and video (xine) working - so my next task is VMware.

Thanks again, that was exactly what I was looking for! I will post this weekend to say how much success I had.

(I am running 2.6)

- THX!

whol · 2004-03-12 01:42:51

Well, I couldn't wait, so I went ahead and started

I'm still working through it, here's what I encountered so far.

I had to change `seq 0 5` to `seq 0 6`, after it complained that /etc/ did not have rc.6 directory in it. I was able to re-run the vmware-config.pl and get past that error afterwards.

Currently, the patch command is not working. It displays the error:
patching file /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2431
Hunk #2 FAILED at 2518
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.rej

Not sure what to do from here.

thx!

whol · 2004-03-12 01:57:45

I read that the patch may fail, if the file being patched is already patched - so I decided to keep going.

The next step is to untar vmware-any-any-update53.tar.gz and run "./runme.pl", which failes witht he following error:

[root@arch23 vmware-any-any-update53]# ./runme.pl

Sorry, there is no binary patch available for your version of vmware.

I also do not have a "misc" directory or "ko" files mentioned here:

This will generate two modules:
- /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmmon.o
- /lib/modules/2.6.<x>/misc/vmnet.o

Should I have said "yes" on the second question?

thx!

santo · 2004-03-12 07:57:39

yep, indeed. You should have said yes to this question.
Sorry I didn't mention this.
You should only say no to this question when vmware-install.pl asks it.
In case of the patch (runme.pl), you have to say yes.

Notes:
- the patch failed for me too, indeed. So you can just ignore this error. 8)
- the .ko files will be created after you have answered "yes" to the config question
- I had to change it from `seq 0 5` to `seq 0 6` myself too. I was forgotten about that :oops:

this ain't no good

but first of all, you get an error on lsmod.
Have you installed the pciutils package (as mentioned in my "important notes") ?
If not, install that package first (pacman -S pciutils) and then try the installation again.

Also, try to uninstall vmware completely before any new installation attempt (vmware-uninstall.pl)

When still no success, try to re-install the kernel sources and then remove vmware/install vmware.

whol · 2004-03-12 09:20:16

I have pciutils installed:

[root@arch23 root]# pacman -S pciutils
:: pciutils-2.1.11-2: is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

I have also been uninstalling VMware whenever I try something new, using /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl (I think).

This is a fresh AL install, and I do not know if the "kernel sources" are installed or not. How do I install/re-install them? (I'm hunting for old instructions on that, but theres a lot with the words "kernel sources" in them, lol).

I am using the 2.6 kernel. When I installed, I think I chose "everything' (well, all 4 check-boxes).

thx!

santo · 2004-03-12 09:35:07

well, let's forget about reinstalling the kernel sources for a moment, because they come with the 2.6 kernel.
Because it's a fresh AL install, I presume the sources are ok.

maybe you have to copy/link the lsmod (and maybe others as well, such as rmmod) to /sbin/
by default, they are in /bin and as I mentioned in step 8, the vmware script expects them to be in /sbin (I only mentioned insmod there, but maybe others need to be there as well ?)

Also, I just noticed that when I installed vmware on my machine (and that is not that long ago), the patch from vmware was vmware-any-any-update43.tar.gz and not vmware-any-any-update53.tar.gz.
Maybe there is a bug in this patch ??

Unfortunately, I cannot find that file anymore on my machine. I must have removed it after the installation

whol · 2004-03-12 09:45:30

I copied lsmod from /bin to /sbin, but then I was surprised to see that lsmod was the only "mod" program in there. I was even more surprised to see all of them already in /sbin. Maybe I need to copy them from /sbin to /bin?

Do I really need the patch? I don't see it listed on VMWare's website. When I ran VMWare on Gentoo and Slackware, I did not have to patch it. What exactly is the patch for? Or what does it do? I thought just downloading the Linux version of VMWare 4.0 would be enough.

thx

whol · 2004-03-13 23:20:46

Anybody have any ideas how to get VMWare 4 installed? I still get the error mentioned above about /sbin/lsmod not being found, and it *is* there.

whol · 2004-03-13 23:53:08

I think my SMP is enabled:

[root@arch23 install]# uname -a
Linux arch23 2.6.3 #1 SMP Wed Feb 18 00:08:24 PST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Which might be a problem:

http://www.vmware.com/community/thread. … =4926#4926

"However, when SMP is enabled in the Makefile for the Workstation modules, the installation will fail with gcc errors. To fix the problem: run a make config and a make dep in the kernel source directory, then re-run ./vmware-install.pl."

Not sure if I should go running those commands in my kernel source directory. Actually, I don't know where that directory is. :?

whol · 2004-03-13 23:58:55

Maybe this will work:

Here is what I get when I run the runme.pl inside vmware-any-any-update53, any ideas? I'm way stuck.

Updating /usr/bin/vmware ... Unknown version
Sorry, there is no binary patch available for your version of vmware.
VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [yes]

Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.3/build/include]
