[[UbuntuHelp:VMware|VMware]] Player allows you to run entire operating systems in a ''virtual machine'', which runs on top of Ubuntu or Windows.  To the "guest" operating system (the one running inside the virtual machine), it appears as though it were running on its own PC.  The "host" operating system (the one running VMWare Player) runs the VMWare software, which provides the guest with things like network access.  VMWare Player is available from Ubuntu's Multiverse repository or can be downloaded for free from [http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware].

The virtual machines which can run under VMWare Player are called '''appliances''' and can either be created with several of VMWare's products or else one may download appliances from the Internet or from VMWare directly.  A wide variety of appliances (both certified and not) are available from VMWare's Appliance Marketplace: [http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/]

Have you been thinking about running Ubuntu, but are afraid to take the "plunge"?  Fear not, for you can use Ubuntu ''without installing it and without even rebooting''! 
 
Like any other VMWare Player appliance, Ubuntu appliances are just a couple of files on your PC.  All of your Ubuntu software will be contained within these files and ''not'' on your PC.  It is possible to copy files to your PC or to save them to your PC from a program running under the appliance, but you must specifically do so.  For more information on using a VMWare appliance, please consult VMWare's documentation at [http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/player_pubs.html].
 
Official Ubuntu VMWare Player appliances are available for download.  They are not very well documented in the download page, but are available on Ubuntu's ISV-Image server: [http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/]. 
 
Most likely, you will want the latest desktop image for 32-bit Intel or AMD computers [http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.zip] or else 64-bit Intel or AMD computers [http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/Ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.zip]
 
You will, of course, need to have VMWare Player installed already.
 
Once you've downloaded the (compressed) Ubuntu appliances, unzip them using the unzip software of your choice, and then double-click the output file and enjoy!
 
Please '''note''' that, as mentioned above, all of the files you save under the Ubuntu appliance and not on your PC will be contained within the appliance and ''will go away if you delete the appliance!''

Installing VMware Player

Note: these installation instructions are not applicable in 7.10 or later.

To create your own blank images - perhaps with more RAM, or to install a different OS, visit http://www.easyvmx.com. Choose the OS you want to run, an amount of RAM, and save and unzip the resulting zip file provided by the website. Then pop the CD for the OS you'd like to install in your CD drive. You may also be interested a selection of images at [2].

  • Run VMware Player. Click ApplicationsSystem ToolsVMware Player. Choose Open an Existing Virtual Machine and select the .vmx file you extracted from the zip.

VMware Player will start to boot, and should automatically start from the Windows CD in your drive. Install Windows as normal. When installation is complete, you'll have a working Windows XP install you can run nearly all desktop and server applications inside Ubuntu.

Downloading an Official Ubuntu "Appliance"

Have you been thinking about running Ubuntu, but are afraid to take the "plunge"? Fear not, for you can use Ubuntu without installing it and without even rebooting! Like any other VMWare Player appliance, Ubuntu appliances are just a couple of files on your PC. All of your Ubuntu software will be contained within these files and not on your PC. It is possible to copy files to your PC or to save them to your PC from a program running under the appliance, but you must specifically do so. For more information on using a VMWare appliance, please consult VMWare's documentation at [3]. Official Ubuntu VMWare Player appliances are available for download. They are not very well documented in the download page, but are available on Ubuntu's ISV-Image server: [4]. Most likely, you will want the latest desktop image for 32-bit Intel or AMD computers [5] or else 64-bit Intel or AMD computers [6] You will, of course, need to have VMWare Player installed already. Once you've downloaded the (compressed) Ubuntu appliances, unzip them using the unzip software of your choice, and then double-click the output file and enjoy! Please note that, as mentioned above, all of the files you save under the Ubuntu appliance and not on your PC will be contained within the appliance and will go away if you delete the appliance!

Improving Performance

You can improve performance by using the VMware/Tools.

  • Download the latest VMWare Workstation for Linux from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ and extract the windows.iso file containing the VMWare tools.
  • Edit edit your .vmx file pointing the CD-ROM to the windows.iso, and start the OS, an automated setup will guide you inside windows.

Troubleshooting

If you happen to run into a message saying "A previous installation of VMware software has been detected. Failure. Execution aborted" and you are certain that VMWare is not installed, try deleting the file /etc/vmware/locations and running the vmware-install.pl file again.
