Hi.
I'm using F11, and I've installed vmware 6.5.2 on that. The problem is that
when I run microsoft windows which was working well before with F10, it
starts reading/wriying to my hard drive, which seems to be all page faults,
because there is no direct hard disk usage. All is IO wait. Partition type
is ext3. System RAM is 4GB and 2GB is dedicated for vmware.
Best,
Adrin.
11:42 p.m.
Did you install VMware with the rpm or bundle? I have vmware but I cant
get it to compile the modules. I have the kernel-header..ect . How did
you get it to work?

First: Don't top post the reply.
Second: I don't think that there would be a difference. this version of
VMWare can be compiled using 2.6.29 kernels. I myself installed it using the
RPM.
but my IOWait problem still remains.

Uninstall kmod nvidia drivers and install akmod nvidia drivers and
should work perfectly.

Huh??? How would that solve Adrin's problem? Not to mention that Adrin
hasn't specified the graphics card in use at all.
Kevin Kofler
Even if that was the problem, I'm already using akmod-nvidia packages.

I guess that's the kind of answer an inexperienced guy would
give. Mine
didn't work after I installed Vmware because it wouldn't compile, so I
switched to akmod and mine worked. I forgot that I have a friend that
sent me some packages also to install. I am still having trouble because
I have to force quit. Sorry for the incorrect answer to your problem.

Your problem was with vmware kernel modules. But mine is another thing.
I don't know, maybe it's better to report it on vmware forums.

i have no problems here with WS on F-11...

I guess I found something which could help to solve the problem. I installed
a fresh windows on vmware, then when I shutdown the virtual machine, it
takes long time that the vmware windows hides. When I watch
gnome-system-monitor for the vmware process, I see that the process starts
to decrease the allocated memory by the time I shutdown the virtual machine.
But this increase is very slow and it takes almost 5 minutes to reach 65MB
from 850MB as shown in gnome-system-monitor. The amount of decrease in the
allocated memory is something like a reverse exponential function. When it
reaches 60MB, decrease is very very slow.
Does this information have something beneficial?
Best,
Adrin.

Actually, If you think about it, switching to akmod packages for nvidia
might actually fix the problems, but not because of a change to the
nvidia driver.
The akmod packages need to be able to build things, so they install a
whole load of dependencies that are compiler relate. So, while the type
of nvidia driver won't change things, having a compiler installed might
be very useful in getting vmware to compile.
