My Linux On VmWare Is Slow

So I'm on the last step of this article to run vmware-install.pl to start installation of my VMware tools and I'm getting this error.

[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

I do a ls in the directory and it shows the installer in there.
[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ls
bin doc etc FILES INSTALL installer lib vmware-install.pl


The only step I didnt do in this article is the prereq. first step because Yum is always trying to connect to the internet and my Centos 7 box is on a classified network with no internet access.

I have CentOS 7 64 bit. I have installed open-vm-tools on it.
I have installed vmplayer using
Code:

./VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle

Now when I try to open vmplayer on it, it does not load 'Virtual Network Device'
and shows error in terminal
Code:

Failed to build vmnet.  Failed to execute the build command.

When I check status of vmware, it shows
Code:

Module vmnet not loaded

If I try to run
Code:

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

It gives me following error.
Code:

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/modconfig-2NfFeS/vmnet-only'
Unable to install all modules.

I am not able to open VMplayer, please help me to open it.

Thanks

hi guys,

just a quick one on virtualbox...

could i have centos 7 running virtual box...then host another 3 vm's on it that are running live at the same time?
or is this best for vmware?

i would like centos 7
then another centos7 vm
debian vm
slackware vm (headless)

its a i5 with 8gb RAM...the vm's wont be doing much work,prob ssh into each to setup things and experiment
maybe run a couple of small wordpress web sites...nothing drastic...

any advice on the best way to get this result?

I have a Toshiba Laptop that had a Dual Boot of Windows 7 and Linux Mint 17 on it and both OS's worked fine. I've been wanting to use CentOS 7 as my primary OS so that I can become more familar with RPM management and proceeded to remove my Mint installation and replace it with the CENTOS 7 installation, and the install completed successfully. HOWEVER, here's my problem.....

When my laptop starts up, I don't see GRUB nor do I have any option of selecting whether to run Windows or CentOS. It automatically loads up Centos 7. When I do a 'sudo fdisk -l', I can see that SDA1 is an NTFS drive, and when I try the following 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Main\ Drive' I get an error message saying that I can't mount an NTFS drive.

Am I missing something or is there a way to access my Windows files from within Centos. I was able to do this with Mint without an issue, but unable to see any of my windows drives because I can't mount an NTFS drive.

I have no problem with keeping CENTOS as my only OS on this laptop, however, I do need to access the files from the Window's partition, and if anyone can help me to access my files, that would be totally awesome.

Thank you in advance for reading through this and for any help offered.....

I have a similar problem. I had Windows 7 and Centos 5.5 installed on same disk /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 and then I installed Centos 7 instead.
Since then I cant find Windows entry in the Grub.

Hello,

I have CentOS 6.5 deployed as a VM on VMware ESXi. I want to force user to force password change even when they use VMware's vSphere client to access the VM console.

I tried the following two commands -

Code:

chage -d 0 username

Code:

passwd -e username

These commands force password change only when we start a SSH session for that user, not if that user access the VM directly via the client console. How do I achieve a force password change even when it is accessed via the client console?

Thanks

Hi, I downloaded an ISO linux file for my Vmware it was with a read me file that show the login details into the OS. Now have finished the installation of the ISO on my Vmware but the problem I have is it not accepting the login details that came with the ISO I download.
this was the login that came with the ISO:

standard user:
username: user
password: password

administrative user:
username: root
password: password
It not accepting any of it I want to know if I did something wrong or there is master login deatils I can use to get to the desktop.
Am a real newbie this is my first time of dealing with Linux your answers will be appreciated a lot. Thanks.

Hi ,

I'm installing centos i386 in VM workstation 8. But the Welcome installation screen is not appearing to select language,time zone etc and starts installing the Centos 6.5 automatically. It is not giving me an option to create filesystem, everything it does automatically...
Is there any problem in OS or VM.
