- HowTo: Auto-start the VMPlayer in Windows.
- Make a desktop shortcut for the Virtual-Appliance.vmx file on the desktop.
- RightClick on the Desktop-Shortcut, choose: Open with...
- Choose as default program VMPlayer.
- This connection with VMPlayer has only once to be made. Windows will remember this choice.
- Choose VMPlayer from already installed programs => SAVE
- Now Double Click Shortcut. VMPlayer will start. If finished you can use the Browser of your choice with the suggested defaults.
- Be sure to make a static IP address (See Appliance manual), to login with a Browser-homepage startup. (https://....)
- If confronted with a blank-screen in VMPlayer: Double click with mouse in VMPlayer and hit CTR-key.
- To leave the VMPlayer and go back to Windows OS, hit CTR+ALT
- If Shortcut is entered in Start menu in Windows, the part of DoubleClick the Shortcut can be omitted and VMPlayer is ready to use.
- Put the shortcut in C:/Documents and Settings/USER/Start Menu/Programs/Startup this will automatically starts the VMPlayer when the account loads.
- For effective work in VMPlayer Appliance (Your own Ubuntu work environment, within Windows or other OS)
- Be sure to do an update for Ubuntu database first: sudo apt-get update , do this within the VMPlayer with Login and Password.
- This makes the database for Ubuntu programs ready for installing different Ubuntu programs.
- Improve read/change Ubuntu text-files. Use the latest vim-program in OpenEMR Appliance.
- Install the full vim with sudo apt-get install vim. (the older vim included does not do syntax coloring)
- To end vim viewing files, use .... :!q .... to go back for more cursor input and NOT saving corrections/mistakes made.
- Use vim --help to see more options for use of vim file text editor.
