VMware Workstation Permission Issue
-
I am trying to create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation.The default path for saving new virtual machine is /home.
But my home has only 20 GB of total space.So I cannot create machine above 20 GB.
I need to create a virtual machine of 25 GB space.My root has 200 GB.
I need to create a virtual machine in root path.I have tried to create virtual machine in the root path but it shows me an error as Permission Denied.So I have went to vi /etc/sudoers and added the users in the file and saved after that also the same error comes here.
Any solutions? -
You have started doing the "no spaces after a period" thing again in a few posts. Please be sure to make separate sentences or else the URL detection thinks that you have links all over the place.
-
Are you using the term "root" to mean / or /root?
-
You do not want VMs in the / path. Make a folder there called /data or /vms or something sensible. Then put the VMs there.

You will still need to do a chown on the directory to make it owned by you.
But again, abandon VMware Workstation. This isn't going to be a good choice for you.

14.04 is quite old. 14.10 and 15.04 both replaced it and 15.10 is about to release.

I thought that you were no longer there and doing work at home according to the other thread.
