I was attempting to try and learn a bit about virtual machines and more importantly, opensolaris. The problem is, I finaly managed to install vmware server on ubuntu 9.10 (I had to use a script someone developed to get it to work on 9.10), managed to log in to the web access management thing and create a VM ready to put opensolaris on, when for some reason the web management process crashed. I tried to restart it, and the terminal output seems to haev suggested it worked, but i can no longer access it.
So, i decided I would uninstall vmware server and take someone elses advice and try virtual box, the problem is, when I try run the vmware uninstall script, it gives me an error saying i need to power down each VM first. How do I go about doing this if i can not get the web management working?
These problems are most likely caused by my inexperience with linux, but im trying to just dive in to the subject and learn by doing, which may mean making stupid newbie mistakes. Without a book to hand on the subject im clueless as to how to sort this out.
