Obviously, if vmware can not access the /dev/rtc device, it is Linux who doesn't allow it, so it is Linux "fault", not vmware. Ie, it is you who has to talk with vmware (and viceversa), not me. You both should collaborate more. -- 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.

What I, Joe user, is not going to do is to fight you both or act as intermediary because both sides can not negotiate. I don't care how you Novell, or them, Vmware, do it, but, please, solve your problems and leave us users out of it. If you feel they violate your copyright, sue them, don't tell me. I just want the system to work; how, I don't care. This bug is about the kernel not giving access to a device, not about legal issues. It is entirely a Linux problem. Yo don't want to even look at it, just because the application is from Vmware? Fine. -- 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.

They list the workaround (and it works). They say the problem is yours. * The issue is solved on my side. * Therefore, I report the problem to you, so that you are aware and can solve your side. * I will not contact them, because they have done their part. It is you who will not even look at it for political reasons. * If you have problems with them, solve them, do not tell me to go away. I can't solve your problems. Not my job. * We have a business saying here: "The client is always right". * Time ago, when I bought a SuSE, it included a printed card voucher (see attached file) to try out vmware for free - and it has the SuSE logo on it. You were friends. I see you do not maintain your good intentions/promises. -- 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.
