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.

What's the output of ll of the dir with the vmdk / config files? Sounds like the permissions of the config files may be broken. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
