Need help from fellow programmers with VMWare player...please???
Galfeslaf Offer Upgrade User ID: 5259463 United States 11/21/2014 12:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Need help from fellow programmers with VMWare player...please??? Hey GLP programmers, I've got a problem. I was coding for a client in VMWare with CentOS 6.5. I finished all of my code...just had one more thing to try out, which was starting my program on boot. So, I put the call to start it in /etc/rc.local, then rebooted. Now it won't get past the loading progress bar, and I need to get my code out of the machine! Ahh! Stupid me! Help! How do I get to the code I wrote that is in the Virtual machine? Any ideas? Thanks...

Yeah, just start your VM with a live CD, that should give you access to your files, no? You could also mount the drive in another VM.

I actually just hacked it, so doom off for this job. Had to VI ninja the heck out of one of the vdmk files, where I finally found and killed the call to my program in rc.local. It caused some other issues, but at least I got far enough to extract all my code. Yay!

Well, I guess it doesn't matter. There was never anything to worry about.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65342059 All I have is a windows box, but I needed to code in a custom CentOS installation for this client. And yeah...bad idea to not do the coding directly in vim on windows and save it on my system, then copy+paste into vm. I just got lazy, I guess. Didn't think I'd get locked out of my virtual server. And btw, I was worried. Deadline was midnight.
