[opensuse] VMware with SUSE 10.1 as guest - how to install VMtools?
Hi! I'm running the free VMware server on windows. And trying to install SUSE 10.1 64bit there. Well, it's installed. But I can not get the VMtools to install. I selected to Install the tools from the menu. After that I get the rpm on the SUSE. I try to install that with Yast (for instalnce by entering yast -i {name of the file}.rpm) But no go. It's still saying that "you do not have VMware tools installed." Have you guys been able to install those? How? What am I doing wrong? -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

According to the SUSE, my display is from VMware, so maybe it's already installed. I just didn't get the great visual experience... I guess gaming is very far from VMware ;-) -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I take it you ran the install script? Did you get any errors of did you get the "Have a lot of fun" message? I reckon it is installed if its using the VM display. Have you got the 'hgfs' folder? (probably under /mnt/hgfs) it might pay you to run the VM-Tools script again.

In what way?

Not really, I run VM-Server on my SuSE box and its never let me down theres a very good install guide on the Novell/cool solutions site. I'm sending this email from a W2K host via Debian guest under VM-Server P.S. My code key has not run out yet?? -- Regards Peter Cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
