Ubuntu HAS no root password. Use sudo and your user's password to perform administrative tasks.

Hi there,

as the other posters have stated Ubuntu has no root password as such. I created this image & the following applies:
[code]user = user1
password = user1[/code]
Sorry not to sure what you are referring to, at a hunch if you are talking about the 'vmware-tools' then this would apply to your host PC (I think!)...

This was my first attempt to use a Virtual appliance.
However when trying to load it I got an error msg:
"File not found Ubuntu.vmdk"

I tried changing the name Ubuntu-flat.vmdk to Ubuntu.vmdk
In this case I got another kind of error:
"the file specified is not a virtual disk"

Anyways, I think the vmdk configuration file Ubuntu.vmdk is missing.
I downloaded this VApp using the torrent

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have problems. Its been d'led over 6000 times with no problems (as far as I'm aware). Few suggestions: check the md5sum (e7f00c364f6fc4439dc386ba217e0d93 - ubuntu-2.6.15-26-386.tar.bz2). As you can see it has been compressed using BZIP & will take some time to de-compress on linux the command would be

[code]bzcat ubuntu-2.6.15-26-386.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -[/code]

not to sure with windoze :(. So without sounding rude have you made sure that all is un-compressed before moving on. Also what version of VMware are you using to open the image? I've just checked the image myself & I can confirm that the files you should have after the extraction are

[code]Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmx
Ubuntu/Ubuntu-flat.vmdk
Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmdk
Ubuntu/Ubuntu.nvram[/code]

I then preceded to open the file using VMware & it detected the Ubuntu.vmx file & happily loaded the image
