In order to 'fix' this you will need to compile the modules manually and have them installed. After that, vmware player / workstation starts correctly. This has been reported to VMware (at lest by me). I have a script for you that can help you 'fix' this: --- START SCRIPT --- #/bin/sh cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source for a in *.tar ; do tar xf $a; done pushd vmblock-only; make; popd pushd vmci-only; make; popd pushd vmmon-only; make; popd pushd vmnet-only; make; popd cp vmci-only/Module.symvers vsock-only/ pushd vsock-only; make; popd find -name *.ko -exec cp \ {} /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/misc/ \; depmod -aq --- END SCRIPT --- in order for this to work, you will need to corresponding kernel-source packages, make, and gcc installed on your system (you would need this also without the script) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
