Perhaps vmware should not be currently running when you try to uninstall it? Dwight

VmWare always runs processes in the background, you probably have to kill of off those. You can do this with the KDE System Guard program, you'll find it in the SuSE work menu and in the System --> Info menu. You can look up the VmWare processes klick on all of them and Kill.

That is odd! Are you sure that it is still there?

Have you tried uninstalling it with YaST1 or YaST2 (I personally prefer YaST1)? Cheers, HÖ -- Frige Karolina Johnsson -- Skriv under Petitionen -------------------http://www.release.nu/------------------- Release Karolina Johnsson ------ Sign the Petition

Yes as rpm -lq shows its existence

Try YaST1 --> Package Management --> Delete Packages --> choose vmware, then F10. Then make sure that rc.config runs before you leave YaST1 (choose Main menu --> Exit YaST).

Dear Helgi. As the VMware is NOT installed with neither Yast nor the Yast2 its not to uninstall by aid of what you suggest. Also vmware in the "Delete Packages" are empty. If you understand what I mean ?. I think I'm in a trouble, but anyway I did install on this Hardrive because I thought, that It is easy to reinstall all from the very beginning :-)(

Cheers, HÖ How about re-installing it with YaST1 or 2 and then uninstall after rc.config has done it's job?

Maybe a good Idea Helgi. Hints for that are very welcome :-)

vmware starts a number of processes with different names that run in the background to support the main vmware process when you run it. These vmware support processes are also set to start up every time you boot. Here's a quick an dirty way to do it with a reboot: First, exit KDE; then, from a root console: # rm /etc/init.d/vmware # shutdown -r now # rpm -e VMware Since the script the starts the support processes has been removed, they will not be running after the reboot. Good luck, Dwight

OK.

Well I did try the what you have suggested, but had no luck :-( execution of VMware-2.0.4-1133 script failed, exit status 127 shamrock:~ # The above was what I got after the rpm -e VMware.
Good luck, Dwight
