VMware Player share folder under guest OS Ubuntu
September 9th, 2011
2 comments
If you can’t find share folder under guest OS Ubuntu, maybe other linux, Just do it according the following sequence,
1. make sure your Virtual machine is powered off.
2. edit your virtual machine’s configuration to make a share folder, and enable it, for example, my host is Windows 7 Bit64, my share floder is C:\Test
3. power the Guest OS, for example, my Guest OS is Ubuntu 11.04, VMplayer is V3.14
4. IMPORTANT, open a terminal, run “sudo vmware-config-tools.pl” , please don’t input ”
5. open places-Computer-Filesystem, under /mnt/hgfs, you will find the share folder. Congratulation!
It’s simple, isn’t it? Just re-config vmware-tools, heheeee
If it works, please give me a reply. Thanks.

The following description is the same situation as me.
Thanks, mrbean_pfiev.
Although I have registered in Ubuntu’s bbs, I can’t login for the reason I don’t know.
Re: Microphone does not work on 10.04 on Dell e6410
Hi,
After several times restart, turn off, turn on the computer, I have found that when I restart from Win 7 to Ubuntu (that means I boot on Win 7, after that I restart to boot to Ubuntu), there is no sound in my headphone (the headphone works for win 7, of course). But when I boot direct to Ubuntu (that means the computer is turned off before), my headphone works. That is my problem.
I had tried with your command, but it said that there is no such file or directory. Thanks very much

Zotero sync function
February 12th, 2011
No comments
I opened sync function of Zotero several days ago, because I use Zotero in Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7.
It works.
URL can be saved by Xmark, and web page can be saved by Zotero.
This is why I like Firefox.
Error loading operating system, VirutalBox, Why?!
February 10th, 2011

When using clone of vmdk from VMware, VirtualBox is defeated by VMware.
“Error loading operating system” , the error for Microsoft Windows OS hasn’t been solved for a long time.
I have tested that VirtualBox can use clone of vmdk in Unbuntu 10.10.
But, in Windows 7, when using clone of VMware, it always shows “Error loading operating system” whatever you have tried.
And, there is no solution in Internet.
Why ?!
It shouldn’t be the reason to discard VirtualBox, when you want to convert all of your VMs to VBs.
Chinese fonts setting for Ubuntu 10.10

I have read several articles about Chinese fonts setting under Ubuntu, the solutions they suggest are not suitable for me.
This is my setting for Ubuntu 10.10, the effect of Firefox is almost the same as IE6 under Windows XP.
Test again: VirtualBox is faster than VMware.

I don’t believe VirtualBox is slower than VMware.
So, tested again tonight.
The process is following,
1. copy WinXP Guest from NTFS to EXT3
2. For VirtualBox, add Extension Pack, and reinstall new guest additions under safe mode. also, remove VMware tools.
3. boot VMware guest os
4. boot VirtualBox guest os
5. compare boot/reboot/shutdown time
The result is VirtualBox V4.0.2 is a little faster than VMware Workstation V7.0.2.
The reasons may be
1. In the first test, guest os was in NTFS, not local EXT3(my Ubuntu filesystem, not EXT4)
2. VirtualBox guest os had VMware Tools.
3. VMware is slower, because it used a longer time in BIOS.
VMware give me the feeling of real boot, slow, wait, see Windows, wait, wait, then you can use it.
VirtualBox is booting…., and ejected Windows XP, then it’s OK.
In fact VirtualBox is faster than VMware about 10 seconds during test of reboot.
