I get this too. It appears to be a bug in the startup script. If I run |
| 22 |
/etc/init.d/vmware start and everything comes up. If I run the startup |
| 23 |
script again I get a some failed messages because vmware was already |
| 24 |
started. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The startup script places an empty file in /etc/vmware named |
| 27 |
not_configured if the startup script fails for any reason. Being |
| 28 |
already started doesn't seem like a good reason to me. |

Anyway, all I had to do is remove /etc/vmware/not_configured and all is |
| 31 |
golden. |
