VMWare Server 2.0 Console not working

March 19th, 2009

I’ve had a few issues recently  opening a VMWare Server 2.0 web based console with Firefox 3.07 running on OpenSUSE 11.1.  The console session just didn’t appear, which is a problem when you can’t SSH into the target VM due to lack of networking.  The answer is obscure but works well:

VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=TRUE firefox &

With this, the console works correctly as expected.  Lovely.

No Problems

What I like to see, a lovely ‘No problems’ icon in my browser telling me that all is well in the world and I’m doing my job:

no-problems

The addition of the ‘Zzz’ text, showing me that my duty is done for today and it’s time to get some sleep is especially welcome.  Tomorrow, we’ll be back on the job.
