VMWare connection issues

Help and Support Help

Hi, I’m trying to get Volumio VMWare image to work but I’m having some problems connecting to the VMachine. This is so far my work:

  • Installed VMWare and IMG. Booted and got to the user prompt.
  • Logged in, Check IP and I saw I was getting one from a different network (NAT was active on VMWare). Tried connected using 127.0.0.1:3000 or similar, no luck.
  • Set my VMWare network settings from NAT to BRIDGE.
  • Reboot, Check IP and VM got me 192.168.0.xxx IP, that was fine. But still, I get a connecting refused when trying to connected to that IP using IP:3000 on my browser.

Any ideas ? I did not install the VMWare tools (I’m not used to VMW, I’m used to VBox so no idea if they are needed).

Thanks a lot.

It seems that we have to compile Volumio-UI (I’m trying but many error at step npm install)

github.com/volumio/Volumio2/wiki/WebUI

The UI resides on a different Repo than Backend. To clone it

#git clone github.com/volumio/Volumio2-UI

Install its packages

#cd Volumio2-UI
#npm install

To start a webserver for the current UI

#gulp serve

===============================
Because of compiling UI error, I’m thinking the way to flash the latest img file to usb thumb drive, then booting vmware by usb.

Have you sorted this issue? I am having the same problem.

Please advise.
