MacOSX High Sierra Destroys VMs at Root

October 1, 2017, 3:27 pm

For all the many years I've used VMware Fusion, I've kept my VM folder at the root of my internal drive.  This works for me, I'm the sole user of the machine.

 

The install/upgrade of High Sierra just evaporated that folder and its contents on two different MacBook Pros.  Thankfully, I always do a couple of TimeMachine backups before any upgrade like that and could readily restore them but beware of this nasty behavior of the MacOS installer.  I think this happened once before on an OSx upgrade a few years back also.  I'm guessing it's the versions that change the file system; in this case it became APFS on the SSD.

 

BTW, on another computer, a separate small folder of screensaver art files that sat in the root was left untouched.  Why did /vm go but /art was left intact?

Can't update 2 macOS Sierra VMs to macOS High Sierra

Hi.

I'm actually using the latest version of VMWare Fusion 8 and 2 VMs with macOS Sierra 10.12.

I'm not able to upgrade these VMs to macOS High Sierra.

At the moment when the installation is supposed to be started, there is a message that tells that the volume can't me unmounted for disk repairs.

I've been able to start on the Recovery partition of the 2 VMs. One needed some minor repairs but the other didn't.

I even try to create and to boot on an extra installation partition populated with the createinstallmedia command but the installation fails with the same message.

I'm not in a situation to create 2 new VMs directly with macOS High Sierra either with Fusion 8 or a later version.

What am I supposed to do next ?

Best regards.

Franck.

Yubikey on Fusion 10

Good morning!

 

I'm trying to get my Yubikey 4 to work with Windows 10, and it's not working.

 

Details:

  • Windows 10 Pro version 1709 build 16299.0 (Insider Preview Slow)
  • MacOS 10.13
  • MacBook Pro 2017 with Apple USB3 adapter

 

When I plug in the Yubikey, Windows detects it and adds some drivers for it, but not completely.  The YubiKey Smart Card in the device manager is greyed out. 31054192-5a6c4476-a67b-11e7-94ff-b7a1ada405e7.png

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6595897/31054192-5a6c4476-a67b-11e7-94ff-b7a1ada405e7.png

Two things are curious regarding this issue. 

 

First, in the Fusion USB control panel, it says "Shared" by the name of the Yubikey:

 

Second, when I go to eject the Yubikey in Windows, it doesn't list it as a Yubikey, but as a "Virtual USB CCID" device.

 

These make it sound to me like Fusion is not passing in the USB device directly, but virtualizing it incorrectly. I've tried it with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 .  Fusion also refuses to let me force it to connect to Windows on insertion, always switching back to 'Ask what to do'. And it never asks, but always shares it.

 

The Yubikey used to work before Fusion 10 (I'm 99% sure!).  I've switched jobs, so don't have the old VM to try it anymore.

 

Ideas?

I have VMWare Version 7 loaded on my MacBookPro Retina with OS 10.11.6 and Windows 7x64. Last night I got an error message VMX file is corrupt. I restarted then when that didn't work I restored from an earlier Time Machine save. Still nothing and I can't access my Word files which I desperately need--please help!

Fusion 10.0.1 running High Sierra guest crashes on cold boot

After installing VMware Tools in a High Sierra guest, I get a predictable kernel panic/crash on cold boot of the VM. Clicking on the screen, the VM reboots and succcessfully boots. If I shut down and boot again, it'll repeat the same behavior (kernel panic/crash, then boot).

 

Not sure where best to look for logs that show what's going on. This is only impacting the guest. Host (Sierra, running Fusion 10.0.1) seems fine throughout.

 

Thanks.

Fusion 8.5.8 fails to start due to incompatible lib12png12.0.dylib

Dyld Error Message:

  Library not loaded: @loader_path/../Frameworks/libpng12.0.dylib

  Referenced from: /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/MacOS/VMware Fusion

  Reason: Incompatible library version: VMware Fusion requires version 58.0.0 or later, but libpng12.0.dylib provides version 40.0.0

 

 

When I try an launch VMware by clicking on it's icon, I get a message that says "VMware Fusion cannot start because of an problem."  The above is from the error log.  I did a find on libpng12.0.dylib and it looks like a bunch of applications like to install it in their folders in /Applications.  Based on the output below, it seems like the version in the VMware installation folder is correct and I can launch VMware from a terminal window.  It seems VMware is picking up a version of libpng12.0 from somewhere else.  How do I figure out where and fix it?

 

$ otool -Lv /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpng12.0.dylib

/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Frameworks/libpng12.0.dylib:

[High Sierra - Fusion 10 and 8.5.8] Windows 7 Enterprise and 10 Pro installs fail in Easy Setup

After upgrading to High Sierra, I'm having issues creating virtual machines in VMware Fusion 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2014). I believe I saw this issue running 8.5.8 under High Sierra as well. Many times the install will fail at boot with a black screen for windows failing to start. Starting windows normally just leads to a boot loop. Other times it fails during the install process with a variety of messages, including one about unattended install. Has anyone run into the same issue? Note that I have enabled the VMware extension in Privacy and Security.

Hi All,

 

I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 13in 10,2 2.5GHZ i5 with 8gb of ram with a fresh install of High Sierra. I have tried installing Windows 10 version 1607 and 1703 multiple times with no success. Everytime the install fails and either just crashes or says the install cant be completed on this hardware. Any suggestions?

I need to upgrade some VM licenses and Fusion 10 is a candidate.

The only thing that is holding me is the maximum memory available to the Guest OS which I know it is 8GB in Fusion 8.

I this still the case also for Fusion 10? I can't find this documented anywhere.

Fusion 10.0.1 can't install vmware tool on High Sierra guest

I'm running Fusion 10.0.1 with a High Sierra guest migrated from Sierra. Everything seems fine so far, other than installing vmware tools has problem, complaining:

"VMware Tools can't be installed on this disk. The version of macOS is too new."

 

Questions:

Does Fusion 10.0.1 support High Sierra vmware tool?

If it doesn't, any timeframe when we can expect it be supported?

"Unsupported hardware family" when transferring from esxi

When attempting to transfer a vm from esxi 6.5 free to VMware Fusion Pro via the "download from server", the system proceeds to download all 100GB of the VM, and only AFTER it has spent hours doing this, it gives a notice:

Screen Shot 2017-06-28 at 10.02.30 AM.png

(Unsupported hardware family 'vmx-12').

 

Worse, after churning through all that bandwidth and adding read/write cycles to my SSD's, it then deletes the "offending" VM from the destination machine, making me start over the whole tedious process from scratch.

 

While this may not technically be a bug, it is definitely in need of a fix, for two reasons:

 

1) It is very poor practice to not do such checks before undertaking large data transfers; and

2) It is poor practice to delete the file you just transferred while giving the user no opportunity to intervene to try to fix the problem.

 

It is unclear what the solution to the above problem is - so if anyone has an idea - that will be helpful. According to the documentation, hardware version 12 should be compatible with VMware Fusion Pro. But anyway, this silly programming is making things much harder to uncover and fix.

Downgrading to an earlier version

Hi all,

 

I recently upgraded to version 8 on a trial basis.  This was due to my cadd program not running in VMware Fusion after a Mac OS update that caused my cadd program to freeze in VMware.  After the trial upgrade, everything worked fine. 

 

At the end of my trial, I purchased VMware 10, which I found would not run because of the age of my Mac Pro (early 2008).

 

Now, I downgraded to VMware 8.5.8 and have the same problem; my cadd program will not run -- it hangs then freezes.  I verified with DataCad that VMware is the problem. 

 

I cannot find earlier version on the VMware download page.  Does anyone know how to go back in time?

 

Thanks in advance.

Trial Version of VMWare Fusion 10.0.1 will not let me connect any USB Drive

Hi

 

I was on VMWare Fusion 6 on my Mac and it was able to detect and let me choose whether I want to connect my USB drive to Windows 10 or the Mac OS.  Then I decided I am going to try VM Ware Fusion 10.0.1.  After installing the trial installation, when I connect the same USB drive I have been using all these years.  It would not recognize it and will not let me choose the option of connecting to windows or the mac.  I am confused.  Anybody else have this problem?  I use VMware Fusion for one app alone simply because the application is a whole lot better on Windows than on a Mac or else I would not have bothered with virtualization.  With this option gone in the sense that I could not back up the files from the application  to the USB drive, nor will I be able to restore the same files if ever the working files are corrupted in the windows environment, it would seem that my interest in vmware would be

essentially toast.  Please help.

 

I have tried researching in he knowledge base to no avail. 

 

Thanks

Fusion 10 -- Full Screen top menu bar will NOT drop down

I can not get the top menu bar to drop down at all in full screen mode.  I can put the cursor all the way up to the top.... no dice.  Can not get it to come down at all!

 

Doesn't matter what I set to -- always show, always hide, automatically do it.  I made the mistake of moving the minibar from the left side to the top and now it won't show up either, so I have no way to move it back to the left.  I have no way to control anything while in full screen mode! The only way I can get to the controls on the top menu bar is to escape full screen mode.

Kext rejected in Fusion 10

Hi,

 

We had a user who upgraded to High Sierra and Fusion 10. He was getting a cannot connect to peer process on starting a VM. Looking in the console, we're getting a kernel extension security violation. Booting to recovery mode and disabling the system integrity check and then trying to get back into a fusion vm works. I'm assuming this is a bug since he has all the default security settings. This is my first time on the forum, how do I report this as a bug?

As part of the Fusion 10 upgrade process I went in and updated tools on all my Mac VMs.  Some said update, some said reinstall.  After the update reboot, some said they needed update again.  How does that work?  Is there something that needs to be manually cleared out to get a correct tools update status?

I am having issues getting the Sound Blaster 16 drivers working on Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.22. When ever I try to install the drivers I get the following error:

 

Wrong Base I/O Address or Audio Card is not detected at 220H

 

I have tried all possible combinations and nothing works. Also, if I try to enable the sound card on the settings page the "check mark" keeps disappearing after trying to enable the sound card. I am running OS X 10.11.4 and Fusion 8.1.0 on a Mac Book Pro 10,2

 

Here is a copy of the sound settings from my .VMX file:

 

sound.present = "TRUE"

sound.virtualDev = "sb16"

sound.opl3.enabled = “TRUE”

sound.autodetect = "TRUE"

sound.baseAddr = “0x220”

sound.dma16 = “7”

sound.dma8 =”1″

sound.irq = “5”

sound.mpu401baseAddr = “0x330”

sound.Opl3BaseAddr = “0x388”

 

Thanks in advance!!!

MacOS10.12.6

MacBook Pro2017

を使用していて

 

VMwareFusion8.5からFusion10へアップデートしました。

 

動作は問題なく、使用できているのですが8.5で使用していた

MacOSのメニューバーに表示されていた

”VMwareFusionのアイコン”が表示されていません。

 

MacOSのメニューバーに表示されていたアイコンは

VMwareFusionの各種メニューへのショートカットが含まれていたと記憶しています。

 

このメニューバーからの昨日は機能はFusion10になってからは廃止されたのでしょうか？

 

それとも、私の設定が非表示にしてしまっているのでしょうか？

もし、そうであれば、どなたか表示の仕方を教えていただけないでしょうか。

 

 

よろしくお願いいたします。
