I recently upgraded my system from i686 to x86_64. (don't ask) according to the recipe in http://blog.sukimashita.com/2015/02/21/opensuse-32-bit-to-64-bit-update-fair... Much to my surprise everything went smoothly apart from the fact that I had to remove a couple of old i586 kernels lying around. However, on trying to run the VMware installer the following happened: vankan@linux-bew6:~> ARCH=x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> uname -i x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> uname -m x86_64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> getconf LONG_BIT 64 vankan@linux-bew6:~> sudo Downloads/VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle root's password: This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture. Please download the x86 bundle. In VMware speak x86 in this case means i386. Does anybody have an idea where the installer might be looking for the architecture other than those? Apparently the problem does not occur often, since Google searches left me empty handed. BTW the cpu is an AMD Athlon II X2 220, which certainly is 64 bits. Would be very hard to run an x86_64 kernel otherwise :) Regards, Jos -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
