VMware Workstation 12 Working with Fedora 23 !! 

As the following instruction we can start VMware workstation 12/12.1 On the Fedora 23. 


Login as root first. 




$ sudo su -

Force rebuild of VMWare modules:

# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all  


Replace the vmware glib version with the fedora version:

# cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib


# for mylib in $(ls /usr/lib64/*4600*); do /bin/cp -afv $mylib $(basename $mylib.4600.1 )/$(basename $mylib .4600.1 ); done




This basically does the following:



# pwd
/usr/lib/vmware/lib
# /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgio-2.0.so.0/libgio-2.0.so.0
# /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0
# /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgmodule-2.0.so.0/libgmodule-2.0.so.0
# /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgobject-2.0.so.0/libgobject-2.0.so.0
# /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0/libgthread-2.0.so.0


Start VMware or VMplayer:

$ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force vmware
or:
$ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force vmplayer



For ease of use/convenience, you might also want to do this:

# cd /usr/bin/
# mv -iv vmplayer vmplayer.bin
# mv -iv vmware vmware.bin

Then create two scripts replacing the previous scripts/tools:
$ cat /usr/bin/vmplayer
#!/bin/bash
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force
/usr/bin/vmplayer.bin $*

$ cat /usr/bin/vmware
#!/bin/bash
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force
/usr/bin/vmware.bin $*

Docker Container Management from Cockpit




























  Cockpit  can manage containers via docker. This functionality is present in the Cockpit docker package.     Cockpit communicates with docker via its API via the /var/run/docker.sock unix socket. The docker API is root equivalent, and on a properly configured system, only root can access the docker API. If the currently logged in user is not root then Cockpit will try to escalate the user’s privileges via Polkit or sudo before connecting to the socket.     Alternatively, we can create a docker Unix group. Anyone in that docker group can then access the docker API, and gain root privileges on the system.   [root@rhel8 ~] #  yum install cockpit-docker    -y    Once the package installed then "containers" section would be added in the dashboard and we can manage the containers and images from the console.      We can search or pull an image from docker hub just by searching with the keyword like nginx centos.                       Once the Image download...
