VNUML Live DVD

In order to easily test VNUML without having to install it in your computer, we have created a VNUML-Live-DVD based on Ubuntu that includes the VNUML tool and most of the examples available on this web.

You can download VNUML-Live-DVD from Sourceforge. See Download page.

See below some useful notes about VNUML-Live-DVD:

• Keyboard. Live DVD uses by default the english keymap. You can change to other keymap by pressing F3 key during boot up.

• Installation on hard disk. If you plan to install VNUML-Live-DVD on your hard disk using the standard Ubuntu procedure (install button on your desktop), take into account that there is a known problem related to user management: the user you are asked to create during installation process is not created correctly. In fact, after installation is finished and you restart the computer, you won´t be able to login with that user. Use the default user (ubuntu/ubuntu) to access the system and re-create the user through the administration menus.

Running VNUML Live-DVD over VMware

You can easily test VNUML using VMware free player in two ways:

• Starting VNUML-Live-DVD from VMware. In order to do that:

1. Download and install vmplayer
2. Download vnuml-live-2.1-vmplayer.zip file from VNUML SourceForge site and follow the instructions inside.

• Using VNUML Virtual Appliance. We have created a VMware virtual machine which is available in: ftp://ftp.dit.upm.es/vnuml/ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip. To use it, you just have to:

1. Download and install vmplayer
2. Download and unzip ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip file:

 unzip ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.zip

3. Start the virtual machine with:

 vmplayer ubuntu-vnuml-2.1/ubuntu-vnuml-2.1.vmx

4. Once the virtual machine has started yo can login using:

 username: ubuntu
 password: ubuntu
