ciwei100000 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Why unable to autofit guest even after installing the vmware tools? I use VMware 9.0.1 in win 8 and have installed the VMware SVGA II display driver for OS X, v1.2.5 (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188962-vmware-svga-ii-display-driver-for-os-x-v125/page__st__158#entry1862994) thank you!

After installing vmware tools, you need to install guestd_patches. This patches vmware tools to do autofit with vmsvga2. (Out of the box, vmware tools only does autofit with vmwaregfx.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trungpt Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This tool is working great with VMware Workstation v9.0.1. I don't have any problems. Shared Folders, Sound, USB Storage Access and Full Screen are working as expected. Playing video files, multimedia contents has problem(s) with hardware acceleration but VMWare Fusion v5.0.2, which is supposed to support Mac OS X Lion officially, has the same problem(s). Dear Dong, do you have any plan to update the tool to make it offically support VMWare Workstation v9.0.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumpumpel1 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm running VMware® Workstation 8.0.2 build-591240 on linux 3.2.0-38-generic. I applied the Unlocker patch and tried to install iATKOS ML2 from DVD. The DVD is ok, because I have done a successful installation from this DVD. The installation in the vmware started ok, but when the window appeared, where you have to choose your language , the mouse was not working. The mouse was only working outside the vmware window, but inside the vmware window it just disappeared. This happens reproducible and only in the Mac OS vmware. In any other vmware the mouse is working normally. Any idea what's going wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 .I applied the Unlocker patch and tried to install iATKOS ML2 from DVD. Any idea what's going wrong ? Yep - only use a retail version of OS X. All these "disros" pack stuff that we don't cater for in VMware. Just go buy a retail copy and you should be good.

As Donk has said, you need to be using a retail copy of OS X 10.8 (ML) downloaded from the App Store and converted to an ISO. Ideally upgrade to Workstation 9.0.1, as in combination with the "Unlocker" offers full support for ML, or you could use the free Player 5.0.1.

Donk Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Minor update. Tested on newer versions of VMware products and a fix for ESXi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSoK Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Minor update. Tested on newer versions of VMware products and a fix for ESXi. Just for clarification, Donk is referring to a new release of the "Unlocker" v1.1.1 see link below: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267296-esxi-5-mac-os-x-unlocker/ or the first post in this thread. Donk, thanks for the update, MSoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonuffTank Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hey Guys, Got a new Mac Mini with 10.8.2 preinstalled. I need to run Pro Tools 9, which is not compatible with Lion or Mountain Lion. Updating to 9.0.5 is not an option. Anways, I'm trying to use VMware Fusion to install Snow Leopard and run pro tools on my virtual machine. Here's some specs: Model Name: Mac mini Model Identifier: Macmini6,1 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB Boot ROM Version: MM61.0106.B03 SMC Version (system): 2.7f0 I'm currently using VMware Fusion 4.1.3 and have tried patching using Donk's patch. Says successful besides the vmwarebase file. Any help I can get with this to make Snow Leopard work with Fusion 4.1.3 would be MUCH appreciated!

I think you will be disappointed as sound in a VM isn't great and I assume you are talking about Avid Pro tools. You would be best just downgrading the Mac Minin to Snow Leopard.

I would much rather just downgrade. We had lots of issues with SL in VMware when Core i and Xeon 5600 series processors appeared, and had to use a CPUID mask in VMware to allow the SL DVD (10.6.0 or 10.6.3) to install, once patched to 10.6.4 and above the problem was resolved. I think you would need a slipstreamed (if such a thing exists) OS X 10.6.8 DVD to allow install on a current MiniMac 6,1 or 6,2. You can purchase Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD from the Apple Store, but not sure of the current patch level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donk Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does version 1.1.1 work?, Why a strikethrough? 1.1.1 was a bug fix just in the ESXi script. 1.1.0 is fine for everyone and does work on ESXi just make sure it is run from a VMDS datastore volume. For Workstation there were no changes. I will go back and look at the ESXi script again, but at the moment I am on holiday with just an iPad.

MSoK Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does version 1.1.1 work?, Why a strikethrough? Unlocker 1.1.1 currently offers no functional advantage over 1.1.0, it was released to fix a problem with the install.sh script for ESXi, and to quote Donk: "It was mistakenly saved on Windows and does not have Unix end of line characters. Just use 1.1.0. Sorry about that, happened when I was packaging it up." 1.1.1 was a bug fix just in the ESXi script. 1.1.0 is fine for everyone and does work on ESXi just make sure it is run from a VMDS datastore volume. For Workstation there were no changes. I will go back and look at the ESXi script again, but at the moment I am on holiday with just an iPad. Donk, Sorry must have replied at the same time, LoL, MSoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
