[opensuse] Updating VMware Workstation 10
Hi, I have VMworkstation 10.0.2. I'm trying to update it to the latest version (10.0.4), but it seems not to work. Via the Workstation GIU it just hangs, via the command-line I can't get past the license. The same happens with 10.0.3. Command-line-output (for 10.0.3, but it's the same for 10.0.4) : ./VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.3-1895310.x86_64.bundle Extracting VMware Installer...done. You must accept the VMware OVF Tool component for Linux End User License Agreement to continue. Press Enter to proceed. Do you agree? [yes/no]: y You must accept the VMware Workstation End User License Agreement to continue. Press Enter to proceed. I tried inputting "yes", but it's the same. Anyone can give comments ? TIA, Koenraad Lelong. P.S.

Forgot to mention I'm running OS 13.1 as host. Koenraad -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just installed 10.0.4 yesterday as root from the command line, with no particular problem. On 13.2. (other than having to install headers etc.) I think you can bypass the license and then enter it once installed. It runs as an evaluation without a key. I didn't have any character encoding problem with the US keyboard installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I frased it wrong, it's the license-agreement :
You must accept the VMware OVF Tool component for Linux End User License Agreement to continue. Press Enter to proceed. Do you agree? [yes/no]: y
It's here it goes wrong. Trying more, I found it is not the unicode stuff. That happens after 'Press Enter ro proceed'. Anyway, thanks for your response. Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
