[Bug 537636] New: vmware for Linux seems to be badly supported.
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537636 Summary: vmware for Linux seems to be badly supported. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-2.4 Firefox/3.5.2 With VMWare 6.5.1 there have been some problems in auto-generating kernel modules at install time, with VMWare 6.5.3 I get a traceback on install (see below). If VMWare is badly supported, VirtualBox only allows 32bit OS-installations and Xen is not option for the desktop user because of its lacking power management then the qemu-kvm virtualisation technology will be of much higher importance. See for Bug 537082 to endow qemu-kvm with all of what the desktop user will expect by just a little extension.
