VMWare Image with debian/Etch

Suggestions?

Might be better to use the generic nic driver for the NIC rather than the vmware supplied driver. Looks like the version your using is not compatible with Vmware WS 5.5.

Is anyone else running this on VM Workstation?
If not what flavor are you running and is NIC is working?

Another suggestion is the keyboard map and language.
Maybe a startup script which will prompt for lang and location to select the end user language and keymap.

To set the NW Card to etho and enable DHCP:
edit /etc/mactab

eth0 00:11:22:33:44:55

change 00:11:22:33:44:55 to your mac-adresse (type ifconfig -a)

edit /etc/init.d/networking
add add case start and at case force-startup a new line, calling "nameif"

reboot your maschine

btw: ATM I'm seeding the image with up to 1,5 Mbit/s until 50 GB transfer ratio has been reached.

Not really a special drive on the guest side.

You can try to do the following:
lspci
and have a look at the device if it is listed there.

If not, you have to do something with the VMX file.
If you find the network interface then try to unload the vmxnet driver.

I installed the VMWare driver into the guest system.

Thanks for the issue about the keyboard map.

Tried that edit.
Still not finding eth0

Did you use a special driver from vmware in the build?
I think you mentioned you built this on the vmware beta?

I fixed the keyboard issue by issuing the loadkeys -d command which looks to load a keymap that works OK with my US 101 keyboard.

It is a german keyboard layout.......

Try to edit the vmx-file.
ethernet0.vnet = "/dev/vmnet2"

should be there, edit to
ethernet0.vnet = "/dev/vmnet0

sorry for the inconvenience

Interface not found?

I d/l the open-xchange_community-edition_build-6048_20070309.zip and when run under VM workstation 5.5 I get this message in the Linux console window:
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

The NIC does show in config in VMWare.
Any one else using WS 5.5?

Edit:
Which keyboard is set in this config?
My US based KB not mapping the right keys.

Thanks for the efforts and the seeds!

Ok guys.

Started a wiki for this:

http://typo3.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=OX_with_VMWare

The admin user is oxadmin / oxadmin ;-)

I probably missed it somewhere in the forum.

Looks nice - I kept the image in my queue as well. Not 100 Mbit though ;-)

Yep works, thanks a lot for this. I'll keep seeding that thing on a 100mbps pipe until the next version is ready

Downloaded it and it works :-)

Ok it's late ... did I miss anything, is there a standard admin user / pw with the ox login ?

So far -looks really nice neo !

Cheers,

Oli

Just started for me too.

It is working for me now ...
I deleted the torrent file and re downloaded it.

Downloading the image now with 60k+

@neo

If you have the image full working and are using the conventions discussed here I will host the image on one of our servers.

If it is full reviewed I will add the appliances to official VMNT, too.
