Edward (Ed) Borasky changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |znmeb@cesmail.net --- Comment #7 from M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 2009-10-27 16:58:25 MDT --- I know this bug is closed, but I need a workaround for some performance testing. I am running VMware Workstation 6.5.3 on an x86_64 openSUSE 11.2 RC1 system. I get this warning when I boot the install DVD on a guest VM: The host high-resolution timer device (/dev/rtc) is not available (Permission denied). Without this device, the guest operating system can fail to keep time correctly. For more information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=34. So ... I try this: AlgoCompSynth:~ # ls -la /dev/rtc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 27 13:46 /dev/rtc -> rtc0 AlgoCompSynth:~ # ls -la /dev/rtc0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 0 Oct 27 13:46 /dev/rtc0 AlgoCompSynth:~ # chmod o+r /dev/rtc0 AlgoCompSynth:~ # ls -la /dev/rtc0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 254, 0 Oct 27 13:46 /dev/rtc0 and still get the warning. But try this: AlgoCompSynth:~ # chmod o+rw /dev/rtc0 AlgoCompSynth:~ # ls -la /dev/rtc0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 254, 0 Oct 27 13:46 /dev/rtc0 and the warning goes away! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
