30. Re: Workstation 6 + Linux + iPhone
milli Aug 12, 2007 2:34 AM (in response to Harald Rudell)I suspect QA had been tied up with the Fusion release and now hopefully is working on a QA cycle for an update to Workstation 6, which hopefully includes the iPhone USB fix... I sure hope we don't have to wait more than another few weeks.
Funny you should mention Xen, I've started playing with it since my patience is wearing thin on this issue. Something that runs "closer to bare metal" may just be the answer in general. USB seems to be VMware's biggest source of problems... dunno why that is.

nate.sammons Aug 21, 2007 8:14 AM (in response to jpreed)Still no word on this? It would really be nice to not have to have a dedicated windows box for an iPhone.... I'd much rather run itunes in a VM instead.
Please fix!

33. Re: Workstation 6 + Linux + iPhone
terlynn4 Aug 29, 2007 10:44 PM (in response to jpreed)Well I was evaluating VMware Workstation 6 on Linux for the sole purpose of getting rid of the Windows box that I use JUST for iTunes, only to discover that it doesn't support my iPhone. Any idea how much longer until a fix is released? Or at least something in beta? I'm a bit crunched for time because I need my Windows box reloaded for something else in about 2 weeks, so I guess I need to be looking at other options if VMware doesn't come through on this soon.

jldesq Sep 5, 2007 6:46 AM (in response to jpreed)Me too. Same problem. Over two months now and no fix.... (except for one that vmware knows about but won't share???)

38. Re: Workstation 6 + Linux + iPhone
verdell Sep 7, 2007 6:03 AM (in response to jpreed)I'm still trying to get my 4th Generation iPod (no color) to work this way. It sounds as if the problems are the same. I've tried the kernel patch, resulting in breaking some other apps and the iPod still not working. I've tried the knowledge base fix with no luck.
Has anyone actually gotten a 4th Gen to work and what is VMware's stance toward resolution? Anyone know?

Harald Rudell Sep 7, 2007 7:07 AM (in response to verdell)They came up with ALSA in '98. VMware still does not have it, there is a thread just like this...
so there is Monopod for Gnome, you can power up your mac, or just wait for the Wi-Fi store. I am holding out for Wi-Fi, which is what I really wanted anyway...
Regards,
Harald Rudell

frobroj Sep 12, 2007 1:20 PM (in response to jpreed)Anyone tried OSX86 in VMW6? I am guessing that the guest OS aint gonna matter if VMW6 doesn't pass thru the USB properly...

43. Re: Workstation 6 + Linux + iPhone
terlynn4 Sep 29, 2007 7:33 AM (in response to jameslin)Over 3 months since iPhone's release... any word on a fix yet?
Sorry, it's still being worked on. I believe there's concern about breaking things for other USB devices...
Still no info on a beta version for those of us who don't care if all the other USB devices break? The iPhone would be my SOLE purpose for purchasing/using VMware, I don't need anything else to work. I also don't want to waste my time waiting around on a fix that's starting to look like it's never going to come. So if it's not going to happen in the near future, please let me know so I can recover all the hard drive space my expired trial version of VMware workstation is taking up.

BigCat400 Sep 29, 2007 7:52 AM (in response to terlynn4)Have u tried vmware 6.0.1 build 55017. This version now works on my XP guest (Vista 64bit host). iTunes recognized the iPhone correctly.
