I have a Windows 7 host machine. My VMware player is running Ubuntu 10.10.  I want to access my main C:\ in Ubuntu to be able to access all my files.  I have tried: "Edit virtual machine settings" > Hardware > Add > Hard Disk > Use Physical disk > Use entire disk > Finish*.  But when I go into Ubuntu and try to access the HD I run into this error which causes the Ubuntu to hang indefinitely.    *I have partitioned my disk but if I instead of selecting Use Entire Disk select a

I'm getting new VMs built for development and staging environments, and was wondering whether there are compelling reasons for or against using the linux-virtual package on all of these images.  Do the -virtual kernels have different tuning? Do they have tools that make the suspend/wake-up better/safer?

I ran the following a week ago to upgrade from 16.04.1 to 16.04.2 with HWE:  sudo apt install --install-recommends xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04   It installed a 4.8 kernel which I'm running now. Just now, I ran the following:  sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt dist-upgrade   This installed the 4.4.0-62-generic kernel and made that the kernel that will be booted into, I think, because it's pointed to by /initrd.img and /vmlinuz. How do I stop future updates of the 4.4 kernel series and set the kernel that will be booted into next time back to the 4.8 kernel series?

Using Ubuntu 11.10 and Vmware Player 4.0.  Every time when I open the vmware player, the last library was not there (it was just blank). I can manually add it and it is working then.  Anyone experienced this?

After upgrading to 13.04 I am unable to start VMWorkstation. I get the following message:     Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded   into the running kernel.      Kernel Headers 3.8.0-19-generic      Kernel headers for version 3.8.0-19-generic were not found. If you   have installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path   below.   Does anyone have any idea what to do next?  Ubuntu 13.04 64bit  If I direct the path to:  /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic   I get the following message:     C header files matching your running kernel were not found.   Thanks  Additional:  As suggested I run this in terminal:  cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux   sudo ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h   sudo ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h   sudo ln -s ../generated/uapi/linux/version.h   However, now I get the following:      Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel    CANCEL / INSTALL   I INSTALL, the window closes and nothing happens.... Any ideas?  ADDITIONAL:  I installed this:  sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dev open-vm-dkms open-vm-toolbox open-vm-tools-dev   And it all launched...  Many thanks for the suggestions and help... This is what I love about Ubuntu... it has a great helpful community... !

On Ubuntu, the string returned by uname -r is always of the form x.y.0-z-generic (i.e., 3.19.0-21-generic). Compiling Ubuntu's kernel ends up with a string that is of the form x.y.z (i.e., 3.19.8), the actual version of the kernel that is used. What does the z represent in the first case? Is that the EXTRAVERSION parameter or is it something else? How do I get the version string of my build of Ubuntu to match the official one?

The path to previous driver is usually /lib/modules/&lt;kernel-version&gt;/kernel/net/wireless  I need this info so I can finish updating my STA Broadcom wireless. However, I'm a noob at Ubuntu and I'm not sure how to find the kernel version or kernel. I checked /lib/modules/ and found this: 2.6.27-10-generic  2.6.32-30-generic  2.6.32-34-generic  2.6.32-38-generic 2.6.27-7-generic   2.6.32-31-generic  2.6.32-35-generic  3.2.0-54-generic 2.6.28-19-generic  2.6.32-32-generic  2.6.32-36-generic  3.2.0-54-generic-pae 2.6.31-23-generic  2.6.32-33-generic  2.6.32-37-generic  Which one is the running kernel? Another question. Is there a snippet so I don't have to cut and paste? Thanks for your time! :)

Can someone help me with this problem ? I am new to Linux, so I do not know commands and I never did something like installing or compiling with command-line.  I bought WiFi adapter from Edimax, model EW-7811UN for my PC (not laptop, so I do not have wifi card, only ethernet). When I go through guide on CD, I came across a version of kernel. It said I need version 2.6, but I have 3.5.0-22-generic.   I got errors like I do not have file or folder etc. Can someone tell me where I can download compiled driver and where I need to put it? Or some other advice. I don't want downgrade kernel when it is not necessary.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 inside VMware on a Windows 7 host and I need to share a folder to the host machine.  I've successfully shared the folder so it's visible to the Windows side, but I need to be able to have this work on multiple domains for different users.  Any idea on how I can make this folder available to everyone no matter what domain it's running on?

I have command line access to a Linux machine which may or may not be virtualized. I want to determine what kind of virtualization technology it runs on, if any (VMWare, VirtualBox, KVM, OpenVZ, Xen, ). This isn't a hostile environment: I'm not trying to work against a VM that is trying to disguise itself, I'm diagnosing a flaky server that I know little about.  More precisely, I'm helping someone diagnose the issue, I'm not sitting at the helm. So I have to convey instructions like “copy-paste this command” and not “poke around /proc somewhere”. Ideally, it would be something like lshw: an easily-installable (if not preinstalled) command that does the poking around and prints out relevant information.  What's the easiest way of determining what virtualization technology this system may be a guest of? I'd appreciate if proposals mentioned which technologies (including bare hardware) can be conclusively detected and which can be conclusively eliminated. I'm mostly interested in Linux, but if it also works for other unices that's nice.

I have read every thread I could find -- even the ones that say that the question has been answered elsewhere but none of them address the specific issue I am having.

I've just installed a Fedora 19 on VMware workstation 9. The default network device is "ens33" instead of "eth0" on RHEL.  The reason I have to use "eth0" is that the license component of one of our products has be to be linked with "eth0".  There are some posts discussing about similar issues, most of which are for older OS. I haven't found one that exactly match my situation.

I just installed a new kernel on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 that came in through the normal updates. However, it is now stuck for a while on the following line:  Setting up linux-headers-4.10.0-20-generic (4.10.0-20.22) ... Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 4.10.0-20-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-20-generic   Something seems to hang the process. Does someone know what could cause this?  EDIT: This is the content of /boot as requested:  abi-4.10.0-19-generic     grub                          System.map-4.10.0-19-generic abi-4.10.0-20-generic     initrd.img-4.10.0-19-generic  System.map-4.10.0-20-generic config-4.10.0-19-generic  memtest86+.bin                vmlinuz-4.10.0-19-generic config-4.10.0-20-generic  memtest86+.elf                vmlinuz-4.10.0-19-generic.efi.signed efi                       memtest86+_multiboot.bin      vmlinuz-4.10.0-20-generic   EDIT 2: Just tried purging the new kernel but got this:  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.   Using that command returns me to the original problem. I am stuck now :(
