It can be 2 things |
| 10 |
Either /dev/vmmon is missing or you do not have permissions for it. |
| 11 |
You have to add your user to the vmware group and login / logout to have |
| 12 |
access to it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If it is missing you need to do: |
| 15 |
mknod vmmon c 10 165 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
On my system I do a udevstart after all modules are loaded to be sure I'm |
| 18 |
not missing any /dev files. Does anyone know if there is a better way ? |
