vmplayer on ubuntu 8.04: problem to start the VM
hi,
I have ubuntu as host and a guest VM (winxp) T tried to launch the VM with vmplayer for two linux users I copied the VM in /var/vmware/VMwinxp /..... and did a chown root: root on the whole tree chmod o + x on the whole tree the user1 can launch the vm because he can do sudo I created a group 'stag' and a 'user2' in this group when 'user2' try to play the VM, he has this message no permissions to start the VM? message 'can not open the disk / var / vmware / VMwinxp / VMwinxp.vmdk or on sbapshot of disks it depends on: Reason insufficient permission to access file can someone help me? thanks |
Hi, hi,
Guess the permissions still ain't right (most probably you need to chmod more than just o+x). You can easy check if it's the permission with Code:
chmod 777 dir_name -R If not, write back. Good luck! |

I thought to change the permissions to 777 but it still does not. The problem is elsewhere, but where?
