<div>Hi all, I used to use Keepass to send my password to VMWare 10 and everything worked fine, however I recently updated my linux environment (I was Linux Mint 17 with Cinnamon, and upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 ) and I had to update also VMWare 12 (for kernel incompatibility) and now my password passes to the vmware guest without any Shift characters (if my password is MypA$$wOrd it would be sent as mypa44word).</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>vmware player 17 download</div><div></div><div>Download: https://t.co/izPnB0XxTA </div><div></div><div></div><div>I despise Necromancy, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution for this and the vmware community items are just as dead. This thread seems to be the one all my mates keep referencing in one way or another so if any of the original posters still need it the tool works.</div><div></div><div>I wrote a wrapper that acts as a buffer between KeePass and VMWare. The root cause on linux has to do with the way VMWare handles keymapping from xdotool which performs the autotyping.</div><div></div><div>When xdotool executes the type, vmware's shenanigans for keymapping and hotkeys basically fail to interpret an implied shift coming with capital letters and special characters.</div><div></div><div>There is a workaround, use 'xdotoolk key' with explicit shift characters.</div><div></div><div>As a proof of concept I wrote the wrapper and it's working well for me: </div><div></div><div>I set it in my autotype to execute via the following: DELAY 3000CMD:!/absolute/path/to/vmwareXDoTool.sh PASSWORD!W=1,WS=H</div><div></div><div>Known issues: Besides only being for a US keyboard currently, this does not handle passwords with ' and " characters currently; I didn't have an obvious way to escape those characters in the command call without altering the value of the password field in the entry which was undesireable.</div><div></div><div>Long term I may write a plugin or something to perform the autotype as an individual key call rather than a whole type operation as a selectable flag.</div><div></div><div></div><div>hi, first post here. title says pretty much everything, i installed vmware player using the .bundle provided on the vmware website, and it installed just fine.</div><div></div><div>i'm running it from the command line, 'cos if i use an app launcher, it just hangs at the final setup screen when clicking on the "Finish" button.</div><div></div><div>with the command line, i managed to figure out why: when clicking on that button, pkexec is launched and prompts for my password. however, when entering my password, it just doesn't work, giving:</div><div></div><div></div><div>I followed that video earlier for my installation with no success. I've now tried using both version 15 and 16 of VMware player with no success. I have downloaded the ova and iso files 3 times. The checksums are okay on both files. I made sure WMware player is running as admin. I don't know what else to do.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>As Chopper says, the difference between ESX and VMWare player is stunning (as is, to be fair, the difference between HyperV server and Virtual PC). It's a fundamental change the in way virtualisation is delivered which greatly benefits the guest OSes.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hi I got stuck at the step where I need to add what type of firmware it is due to VMXF file is different in my case here is a screenshot</div><div></div><div>image757383 11.4 KB</div><div></div><div>I am running vmware version 17.0.2 build-21581411 on windows 10 64bit machine</div><div></div><div>Any suggestions what I might be missing?</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
