And can you now access usb devices from the guest OS ?

Just yesterday, there was a posting here that mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb helps. Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany

what IS that patch? I have seen it mentioned several times with no explanation, and a google turns up cisco PIX firewall exceptions, or some such ...

Peter, The any-any package is a very unofficial and unsupported, ostensibly private package that patches the vmware-config.pl script and some of the (I believe) *.o files for building the VMware kernel modules. The developer is is very active on the VMware company forums. Dave, The need for the any-any patch is due to the change in kernels between 10.0 and 10.1. It's not SuSE's fault; SuSE doesn't even include VMware in its distro anymore. VMware typically lags a few months in newer kernel releases. I don't use USB support in our virtual machines, so the problem is not an inconvenience for me. All the best, Mark -- _________________________________________________________ A Message From... L.

Why is your email containing "=20" at the end of every line? Something strange is going on with your email program.

It must be your local configuration. I see no problem here. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Why is your email containing "=20" at the end of every line? Something strange is going on with your email program.

The regular =HH that we see in some email are indicative that it is coded in quoted-printable. Now, there should be a few MIME headers at the start of the message describing this fact. So, either the headers are missing or inadequate at the originating end, or the MIME handling is lacking at the receiving end. The correct way of sorting out which is which is through scrutiny of email headers, and some knowledge of the MIME standards to judge if the standards are followed. Each =HH, where H is an hexadecimal digit, holds for a single byte having the value represented by the hexadecimal digits. =20, in particular, is the coding of an ASCII space. Now, having a space at end of each line is usually indicative of flowed format (yet another standard!) at the originating end. This format should be announced in the headers as well -- for example, this very message I'm writing uses flowed format. Flowing may or may not occur at the receiving end depending on the capabilities of the mail reader in use, but flowing format is designed so it does not matter much. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca
