Debian running within vmware [solved]


Recommended Posts

I've just installed Debian within a vmware session, and for some reason the X server won't start. Has anyone got it running successfully in a vmware machine?

 

It's reporting that the colour depth 24 is a problem, but I configured for colour depth 16, and it still fails with this. Says screens found, but none usable.

Here's the xfree86 log file. I'm currently upgrading to unstable, since I think this might have xorg, and might run better, since most distros I've run in vmware have been xorg and thought it might have been this.

 

Anyway, the log file:

It's the last part more than anything that is causing the problems, the warning aren't that serious. I've configured it using "xf86config" so many times, it's frustrating.

Do you have a screen set up in the XFree config file? If yes, try to gradually go from 8 bit to 24 bit. But I guess that it will only get fixed if you run Xorg instead of XFree. AFAIK they do not include an SVGA driver for the VMware virtual video adapter in XFree.

OK, upgrade to unstable finished, and I now have xorg instead of xfree86. I can now get a gui perfectly fine. Am in Gnome 2.14 :P

 

However, can't install vmware tools, but then these aren't really needed too much. The only prob is I can't use xorgcfg or any command line tool to reconfigure xorg. Guess I gotta edit manually.

Yep, all OK now. Now got 1024x768, so that's cool.

 

Seems that xfree86 was the problem, and using unstable and doing the:

 

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

 

did the trick ;)
