I'm experimenting with VMWare. |
| 2 |
I've installed VMWare Workstation (5.5.1.19175-r7 ebuild) and created |
| 3 |
a Windows Virtual Machine. |
| 4 |
Then I've installed VMWare Player (in another Gentoo partition), so I |
| 5 |
can "play" the VM I've created. |
| 6 |
It works fine. Running Internet Explorer under Linux is rather |
| 7 |
amusing ;-) Well, I've installed VMWare because I _must_ run a few |
| 8 |
Windows apps (not IE ;-)) and don't like to shutdown my Gentoo box to |
| 9 |
do that. But that is another matter... |
| 10 |
Now I have what I needed, but I can't help experimenting.... |
| 11 |
Sound does not work. Sometimes (not always) I get a message |
| 12 |
like "cannot connect to /dev/dsp". |
| 13 |
Even if I do not get that message, even if the sound card looks |
| 14 |
connected (no red "x") sound is not working. |
| 15 |
I've found a VMWare document about a wrapper: |
| 16 |
http://kb.vmware.com/vmtnkb/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1611&sliceId=SAL_Public |
| 17 |
but it looks suited for versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.0.x. |
| 18 |
Moreover, I've installed it and got: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[sp ~]$ vmwarearts & |
| 21 |
[1] 5669 |
| 22 |
[sp ~]$ ERROR: ld.so: object 'libvmdsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be |
| 23 |
preloaded: ignored. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And no sound, of course.... |
| 26 |
Any hints? |
| 27 |
Thanks |
