I am trying to install vmware-player, but things don't seem to be |
| 2 |
working right. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Aftere doing the emerge, and starting /etc/init.d/vmware, I was told |
| 5 |
that cupsd had to be started after vmware but that some of the vmware |
| 6 |
dependencies required cupsd. Since I don't need to pring from the VM, I |
| 7 |
blew that off. |

I ran vmware-config.pl and set up the bridged networking. But after |
| 10 |
answering the questions, I get: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ] |
| 13 |
* Virtual machine monitor [ ok ] |
| 14 |
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ] |
| 15 |
* Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ !! ] |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
(on my first attempt I configured the bridged and NAT networking, but |
| 18 |
I've re-run vmware-config.pl since then). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
When I ran vmplayer, I was told that it wasn't configured as |
| 21 |
/etc/vmware/not_configured was still in place. Just to see what would |
| 22 |
happen, I removed it and fired it up. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
There was a complaint about vmmon not being loaded, and it appeared that |
| 25 |
the install built vmmon.ko for kernel 2.6.15, rather than for 2.6.17, so |
| 26 |
I rebuilt it and installed the module. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I re-ran vmplayer and I get errors that networking is not properly |
| 29 |
configured. Given the !! above, I'm not surprised. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I think I'll need to go back to the beginning, but I'm not sure what to |
| 32 |
do differently that I might succeed. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Anyone have any advice? |
