VMWare and Ubuntu 9.04
Posted to Technology category
VMWare is being flakey. I'm not sure whether the problem is actually the interaction of VMWare with the new version of Ubuntu, or whether my problem is internal to one of the Windows images.
In either case, one I bring up the virtual machines on the laptop something hammers the drive and sucks up a lot of processor time.
I need to recheck some DNS settings that got muched during the Ubuntu upgrade, and tweak some network settings that can be different now that I'm back on my home network (I had to adjust a few things when I was in Mobile connecting through Comcast). But I don't think either of those is related to the resource hogging.
I'm going to try some troubleshooting tomorrow.

VMWare server has been very flakey on my laptop for a while. I'm pretty sure it started two kernel updates ago.
I'm currently running 2.6.18-8.el5 and it pegs my CPU and the disk thrashes, completely unusable, I switched to using wine for most things, so far the only thing I have to have VMWare for is to log into our clients VPN, as it HAS to be a windose box.
