Well, did you install the VMware as root? Or did you do 'su' from other user?

Switched to superuser by using 'sux -' Reconfigured VMWare and setup the virtual machine. I gave also access to vm files to my common user, but still no luck. I can run this vm only by using su >> pass >> ./vmware When I'm going as user to vmware / edit virtual machine settings/ hardware / scsi hard disk I get: "Unable to retrieve disk information: Insufficient permission to access file" Setting up a VM with direct disk access as user fails too. When I try to setup such a vm as user then I get almost the same message in the hard disk dialog: "Failed to load partitions for device /dev/sda: Insufficient permission to access file" Thus how to obtain the proper rights for a user? Putting the 'user' into the disk group doesn't work. - -- All the best, Peter J.
