I had a trial license for vmware workstation. I decided to work just with |
| 2 |
vmware player, so I did an emerge -C on workstation, and an emerge |
| 3 |
of player. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The install was perfectly smooth, but it doesn't work. The symptoms |
| 6 |
were pretty bizarre, so I did a careful by-hand deletion of the files that |
| 7 |
the unmerge told me would remove all traces, then I rebooted the |
| 8 |
system (there was a module that wouldn't unload). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Then I did an umerge and emerge again. I ran the configurations script. |
| 11 |
But, it was schizophrenic about it. Below is what it said at the end of |
| 12 |
the configure; you'll see it says the module loads perfectly, then it |
| 13 |
says it has been installed correctly, but not configured (but this is while |
| 14 |
*running* the configure script. Then it says I can go ahead and run |
| 15 |
the player. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It cannot make up its mind, but the end result is nothing works any |
| 18 |
more. |

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel. |
