This post came at a good time. I had just installed vmplayer on my XP box at |
| 2 |
work so I could run Linux and have some real mail and news programs. So I |
| 3 |
decided to try it on gentoo. Emerged it and it wouldn't configure - kept |
| 4 |
whining it couldn't stop vmware - of course not it wasn't running. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I did what you suggested in the first post and got it to configure. I then |
| 7 |
did what you suggested here. However, when I do /etc/init.d/vmware the first |
| 8 |
time it did this: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ] |
| 11 |
* Virtual machine monitor [ !! ] |
| 12 |
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ] |
| 13 |
* Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ !! ] |
| 14 |
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) [ ok ] |
| 15 |
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) [ ok ] |
| 16 |
* NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 [ !! ] |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
After that I get this when I try and start vmware. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
root@gandalf init.d # /etc/init.d/vmware start |
| 21 |
VMware Player is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured |
| 22 |
for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the |
| 23 |
following command: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If I run vmware-config.pl it complains it can't stop it. I even repeated the |
| 26 |
steps in your first post. |

|
| 28 |
Any ideas on what might be wrong? |
