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...

Remote Systems Management With Cockpit

The cockpit is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux web-based interface designed for managing and monitoring your local system, as well as Linux servers located in your network environment. In RHEL 8 Cockpit is the default installation candidate we can just start the service and then can start the management of machines. For RHEL7 or Fedora based machines we can follow steps to install and configure the cockpit. Following are the few features of cockpit. Managing services Managing user accounts Managing and monitoring system services Configuring network interfaces and firewall Reviewing system logs Managing virtual machines Creating diagnostic reports Setting kernel dump configuration Configuring SELinux Updating software Managing system subscriptions Installation of cockpit package. [root@rhel8 ~] # dnf install cockpit cockpit-dashboard -y We need to enable the socket. [root@rhel8 ~] # systemctl enable --n...

Add The Group Information IN Yum Repository in simple Two steps

= Yum groups and repositories = Yum supports the group commands * grouplist * groupinfo * groupinstall * groupremove * groupupdate Groups are read from the "group" xml metadata that is optionally available from each repository. If yum has no repositories which support groups then none of the group operations will work. #yum grouplist This will list the installed and available groups for your system in two separate lists. If you pass the optional 'hidden' argument then all of the groups which are set to 'no' in the group xml tag. yum groupinfo groupname This will give you detailed information for each group including: description, mandatory, default and optional packages. #yum groupinstall groupname #yum groupupdate groupname Despite their differing names both of these commands perform the same func...
