Donk Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I' running into this problem when i try to expand my OS X(El Capitan) virtual machine diskspace on VMware 12 - on Windows 10. With Unlocker 2.07 I'm using TechReviews: https://www.youtube....h?v=qIINnuBRsmg - download link: https://goo.gl/2Lu9c6 I get this core dump: vcpu:-0:Verify vmcore/vmm/main/physmem_monitor.c:1178 And yes i've already added: smc.version = "0" to my VMX configuration file... What is wrong ??? Please i can't expand my OS X VM image: 40 GB preset in VMware is simply to small Regards Tom First of all go and delete the other 3 cross-posts as they are not allowed on the forum. Have you closed down the VM and closed VMware before editing the VMX file? If you don't do that VMware keeps a cached copy in memory. As for resizing the disk. Use the VMware Edit parameters to increase the size of the drive. You will then need to boot fomr somehting like GPartEd.iso and resize the disk.

jen0vah Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hey Guys also having some trouble here. Using VMWare Workstation Player 12 and the latest unlocker 2.0.8. When running as Admin on Win7 it gives me an IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied : follows by a path of my vmwarebase.dll then the unlocker returns -1 Any hints how to solve it?

bebong2k Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 On windows 7, you can run Task Manager and delete the "VMware Authorization Service" service. Then you can run the unlocker 2.0.8 without an issue. Before you restart the windows, remember to start the "VMware Authorization Service" by command "net start VMAuthdService".

Have you got an anti-virus program running? if so disable before running the unlocker. We have found Bitdefender and McAfee stops access to the vmwarebase.dll. Obviously restart the AV program after you have finished running the unlocker. On windows 7, you can run Task Manager and delete the "VMware Authorization Service" service.

Oh yeah got Bit Defender running thought I disabled all necessary "scans" in there . Closed it this time time completely and now it works.

pepetops Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi all. I use opensuse 13.2 with vmware Workstation 12.0.1 build-3160714. I use first the version Unlocker 2.07 and now 2.08. Same result: when I start the virtual machine with an iso El Capitan as a cdrom/dvd device the system reboots continuosly... I only see an apple for a few seconds. When I try use a vmdk with all the OS X inside a windows with a message like: An error ocurred... Any idea? Need write anything on diferents files?

kevindd992002 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 is it normal for unlocker 2.0.8 on esxi 6.0 to not show osx 10.11 as on of the choices when creating a VM? In vmware workstaiton 12, it does show 10.11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam B Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If I install this onto ESXi 6.0, does the below mean than none of my VM's will be able to utilize VM Version 11? Any other limitations I should be aware of in ESXi 6.0? Thanks and Best regards Jim Jim, pretty sure that doesn't apply to ESXi since the unlocker was updated... I know I've never had a problem with anything whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevindd992002 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yes - ESXi 6 is equivalent to Workstation 11 and Fusion 7 which also do not have 10.11. That's what I thought. But I can still install OSX 10.11, right? Is there a guide that I can follow to install OSX 10.11? I've downloaded the dmg file but I'm not sure how to convert it to ISO. Also, do I need to manually mount darwin.iso to install VMWare Tools on OSX 10.11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankmacintosh Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I haven't checked in for a while but is there anyone who was able to run whatever MacOS on ESXi 6.0.0 meanwhile using an AMD CPU?I checked all the Niresh images, youtube videos and whatever but the instructions don't seem to apply to ESXi. For example, there is no option to add a disk as a SerialATA disk instead of SCSI (which is the case in VMWare Workstation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubla.khan Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hardware is an i7-930 on a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R with 12G of RAM. Running VMWare Workstation 12, unlocker 2.0.8, and trying to install OS X 10.10 from a bootable USB stick created using a recently downloaded Yosemite and its createinstallmedia command. VMWare seems to have been patched correctly, and creating a Mac OS VM is an available option. Created a VM using hardware v11 (it complained about v10 being unsupported), edited the .vmx file afterward to add smc.version="0". (Without smc.version = "0", the VM crashed.) Booting the USB stick seems to work: I get the Apple logo and a progress bar for a while. However, about half-way through, that is replaced with a prohibition sign (circle with a bar through it) and everything stops. Tried again with a variety of different configuration options based on things I'd seen as possible sources of problems: - With one or two processors - With or without "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" checked - With USB 2 support instead of USB 3 support - With hardware v10 instead of v11 in the .vmx file However, regardless of choices, the same thing happens. Everything I've found on the net for the prohibition sign during install indicates a hardware problem, but I'm not sure what that would be in this case. I can't verify that the install would actually work on a regular Mac as I don't have one to verify against. Any ideas as to what might be going wrong?

kubla.khan Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Worth a shot, definitely. However, it doesn't make a difference: same problem with hardware v12 as with v11 or v10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 @kubla.khan, I think your problem most likely arises from your install media. I would recommend creating a vanilla installer ISO using the CYI.tool - see Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks in VMware Workstation 12 on a Windows Host or try imaging your installer USB to vmdk eg using Paragon Backup and Recovery 15 and attaching/adding the installer vmdk file as an additional hard drive to your virtual machine... I've never had luck directly booting a VM from an attached physical USB drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubla.khan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The install media was indeed the problem. The install ISO worked much better - I now have a shiny new VM booting OS X Mavericks. It also seems to be capable of booting the failing Mac this VM is intended to support, whereas the bootable USB stick had the same failure on a real Mac as on a virtual one (the prohibition sign). Makes me wonder what's going on with the USB sticks.... Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eladrrats Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hello, This looks like a really awesome tool! In doing my normal due-diligence of scanning anything I download, I found that the updater.exe and gettools.exe bundled with v2.0.8 are flagged by a couple of the lesser known AV vendors as viruses (see attachment). I'm guessing these companies have just categorized these executables based on heuristics and not an actual threat detected in the specific files. This being a non-commercial product, I have to imagine someone else out there used a similar process to do something non-positive, causing these EXE's to be included as malicious. Would it be possible to get copies of the following files manually, so we can manually patch: vmware-vmx.exe vmware-vmx-debug.exe vmware-vmx-stats.exe vmwarebase.dll I personally like doing some of the patching myself as I can see better how things are working. It would also work around the detentions noted above. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not want to use the executables install Python and change the win-install script to run python unlocker.py instead of the executable. (This is how it is run on ESXi, OS X and Linux). The source code is in the relase zip in the Python .py files. Make sure you download from Insanelymac or www.daveparsons.net/downloads. These are the only places I release the unlocker files. If you want to see how the Pyinstaller is used to build just the Windows executables the code is on https://github.com/DrDonk/unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanelyMac1055 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Does anyone know how to fix the lag and missing translucency when running OS X 10.11 in VMware? I read that the same lag happens in Yosemite but you can download an application that disables beam synchronization which fixes the lag. Unfortunately this application doesn't seem to work on 10.11, so does anyone know if there is an alternate fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosemite had huge lag issues but el capitan vm dont show anything close to that Yes, VMware Tools is installed, the lag is different. Mouse movement and resolution work perfectly but the UI is laggy.

LuXs Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 What are you trying to do that makes it lag?Becuase it only has 128mb of video ram and thats not a lot so if you are doing 3D stuff it of course will lag.Have you given the VM enough cpu's and ram?
