Ok, so my latest annoyance is that the fine folks from vmware have no remote console plugin for firefox on Mac. This leaves me unable to manage any of the VMs I have going without starting up Windows under Fusion. I found a work around online that allows me to run the linux plugin via remote X, but I seem to have a garbled output on the console screen.
I setup firefox with the plugin on my linux box, and from my mac’s terminal, I can run the following..
ssh -X -f -q user@REMOTE_LINUX_IP /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE.default/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins/vmware-vmrc -h “remote.vm.server.ip:port”
As you can see from this screenshot, the console comes up just fine…
But, after selecting the VM, I end up with a garbled screen….
As of right now, I’m lost. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment, or send me an email.
I’ll keep you posted as to any updates..
