    Latest PD6 = Linux freeze

    After upgrading to 6.0.11826, Linux only runs for maybe a half hour before freezing. All I'm running is a router on kunbuntu. The connection dies and I find the VM frozen. At this point I have to power down the VM and start it over. This effectively makes PD6 worthless. I installed the...

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work anymore. I installed v6 on a different drive on my MacBook and tried the posted solution to no avail. The installer appears to have removed my other installation (grr), so there is no way to revert.

    Unable to convert Windows 7 VM from VMware Fusion

    OK. Why not make a copy of the drive and go through with the conversion (after removing VMTools, of course)?

    Unable to convert Windows 7 VM from VMware Fusion

    If it doesn't recognize the OS it could be a problem with your import. You could try setting the disk as an IDE to eliminate the driver as being a possible issue and see if that works, but maybe it was imported poorly. I think there are pages in the knowledge-base covering VMWare import...

    Unable to convert Windows 7 VM from VMware Fusion

    Might just be the drivers. One guy I know converted his VMWare image by first uninstalling VMWare drivers while running it with VMWare, importing it as an IDE drive (not SATA), and fi that worked adding a SATA drive temporarily to get Windows to install the SATA driver, then removing that...

    Upgrading Windows to SATA tip...

    If you want to upgrade your VM from ATA to SATA, don't just switch the HD to SATA or Windows will likely bork due to lack of drivers. Instead, boot it as per usual with ATA and an additional temporary SATA drive. This will get Windows to install the SATA driver, after which you can remove the...

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    ethtool -K eth0 rx off 'solved' the problem. I take it this is a work-around of some kind. I haven't used ethtool since way back in the day when I was programming a buggy embedded box for VoIP routing. I've kinda forgotten the purpose of it

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    Basically I was getting various odd behaviors like the tcpdump of vnic1 and eth0 not matching up (they used to in v5, IIRC). ARP requests showed up in both, for example, but the responses only showed up on the Linux VM side. Other things like TCP open requests again only showed up on the...

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    (hopefully my previous post involving tcpdump shows up) I just attempted to use Windoes 7 as my VM router (using "Internet Connection Sharing or ICS) and it works provided I used 192.168.137.1 as the router's IP (ICS seems to be kinda specific in that way). I'm still having the same...

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    OK, I'm getting some VERY odd behavior. I can ping and send UDP packets through the VM, but not TCP packets. I have tried various things including a reboot to resolve the issue, but so far I'm left scratching my head. I setup my Linux VM as a NAT router as per usual (I have a script to...

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    I consolidated steps 1-3 to simple edit with sudo vi. It appears to work! THANK YOU! I'll do a bit of testing to make extra sure. Why did you remove the option from the human interface? You should put it back in. This is a really useful option for various scenarios. I'll post once...

    It's 100 times easier then posing on this forum: 1) Command-click the app in the Dock to select it in the Finder. 2) Command-I to Get Info 3) Click on the icon (top left) 4) Paste new icon

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    If not, is there an easy method to downgrade? I'm really hoping there is a work-around because the linux tools in version 5 is incompatible with newer kernels. PS: Using latest Snow Leopard

    Bridging network from VM?

    FYI this was solved when I discovered the "Show in System Preferences" option, which unfortunately disappeared in Parallels 6.

    Crucial v5 feature missing in v6? (Show in System Preferences)

    Hi. In Parallels Desktop 5 there was an option in the Parallels network prefs (not the VM network prefs) to "Show in System Preferences", which would expose the virtual network interface to Mac OS X. This was a crucial feature for those wanting to use a virtual machine as a router as if I...

    Bridging network from VM?

    I would like to know best to expose a network accessible by the hosted Linux OS (running on the VM) to the hosting OS (Mac OS X). Suppose the Linux box has the interface wlan0 (with an IP range of 192.168.0.*) which I wish to access in OS X. Could I simply bridge the interfaces thusly...
