    Re: HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server

    hello.
    it is stated that virtual machine will not work with hardware that is not identified with ubuntu, but what about a printer that works just with windows driver but is identified by ubuntu?

    i have USB lexmark X6170 that ubuntu recognize but without a proper linux driver.
    will my printer work through the virtual machine?

    thank

    Good question. I would guess that it would work. Since Ubuntu can identify it, it means that there isn't a problem talking to it through the USB connection. It is just that Ubuntu doesn't know how to "speak the printer's native language." As long as the VM can talk to it over the USB bus, it should work. I have a Canon photo printer that is in the same boat. I'll have to setup a VM and see if I can print to it from inside the emulator.

    Veloce, I get the same error message as Cacharreo and the error is 'gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: (No existe el fichero ó directorio) file or directory don't exist

    I actually had VMWare working on the version of Feisty prior to the official release. Then I played with 'desktop effects' and it killed everything so I reinstalled with the official release and now i can no longer get VMWare working. This cc1plus file seems to have been something to do with Debian from what I can see on google but I don't know where to get it from or, more importantly, why it seems to be no longer a part of Feisty?

    I upgraded to Feisty from Edgy, used the "any to any" patch and config worked perfectly. So maybe something is carrying over from Edgy.

    I found it in folder:

    /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2

    Don't know what package it would come in.

    Yeah, I've got the 'any any' package and with the earlier Feisty i had to use it twice and the 'vmware-server' package twice, ie v-s, a-a, v-s, a-a, and then everything worked. I've tried this more times than i can count now and it always has this error re cc1plus
    I don't have any carryover from Edgy because I haven't had Edgy. I went from Dapper to Feisty.

    I think you need to (re) install the "build-essentials" package. Saw this on a vmware list.

    I SUCCEDED!!! the lexmark X6170 printer now works under ubuntu from within the virtual windows machine.

    this is great news for those with not working printers due to lack of linux driver!

    and now for another quastion.
    would someone please help me with the network and internet connection in vmware player.
    i have one ethernet card in which i connect with cable. the internet is working fine in ubuntu.
    how can i configure networking inorder to ba able to share folders with the host (ubuntu) and to be able to surf the net from the guest (windows XP)?
    the network adaptor is on - nat and VMplayer sayes it's connected, but no internet and no networking available.
    i installed samba and shared the folders i want.
    what next?

    So your virtual windows machine is printing to an unsupported printer on the host? Cool! I must try this myself.

    Networking: Some questions:
    how are you connected to the internet? Is there a firewall somewhere?
    how is your vm getting an IP address?

    If you have networking working between the vm and host (samba file sharing) then this should be simple.

    yes, i was very pleased to find out that my printer is printing...

    regarding the networking.
    i am using cable as my internet provider. i have firewall on my guest system (win xp pro)
    i have installed samba and shrad the folders in my host.
    the virtual network in configured as NAT and is connected.
    but there is no internet through the guest machine and i cant fined the shared folders in the guest.
    maybe i should do reinstalation of vmplayer?
