Backtrack R1 several errors

[mania]

Hi all,

I want to say thank you for R1 It looks awesome. Here are the error I came across;

Vmware:


I install vmware 7.0.1, installation was easy smooth. I usually use wireless, I realize I could not get IP for any OS images with bridged mode in vmware using wireless. But when I use cable I can get IP for any OS images.

VLC

When I double click vlc to watch any video after I close vlc I get this error 'KDEInit could not launch 'vlc'. But when I open vlc first then watch after I close I get no error.

Thanks

FAQ | BackTrack Linux - Penetration Testing Distribution

• Why cant BackTrack use wireless card “X” inside VMWare or Virtualbox ?
• Any virtualisation software can only use USB wireless network cards as physical devices, all other types of wireless card are seen as virtual ethernet devices and can only be seen as a wireless device by the host and not by the guest operating system. So if you want to run BackTrack in VMWare or Virtualbox and have full wireless capabilities, make sure you are using a USB device.

Thank you so much for doing a little research before giving up and asking others to do your homework for you... I don't want to insult you by offering solutions to the VLC issue, I'm sure you have found the solution already.

Macphail you misunderstand the question. Let me rephrase the question for vmware. My OS is Backtrack and I install vmware on backtrack, so my host OS is backtrack not XP or other OS. I cannot get IP for any OS (xp,linux) images with bridged mode in vmware using wireless with backtrack. If I use wireless xp image in vmware can not get IP. But if I use cable XP image in vmware can get IP.

ps: I search this believe me, so please dont judge people before understand what they are saying.

cheers

ok, so Backtrack installed correctly and seems to be functioning correctly, however you are having an issue setting up networking inside of VMWare using bridged, wireless interfaces. The issues that you are having are independent of image operating system and you can reproduce the issue.

VMware Communities: Bridged Mode not working ...
and
VMware Communities: Bridged mode not working ...
and
VMware Communities: Unable to connect in Bridged mode ...
and
VMware Communities: Confused with working in bridged mode ...
and
VMware Communities: Unable to use Bridged Mode in Wireless ...

might be a great place to start......good luck with that.

Thanks I will look into that.

i had a situation where one day the bridged connection was connecting to the network but not getting "internet access" inside a win7 vbox image. i changed the network connection from bridged connection to nat in vbox's network interface settings, maybe give that a go?

Dude, in VBOX you have to choose which Network Card you will use with Bridge mode it's below the Bridge mode choice.
