-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I started my installed vmware, and it told me I had an update, do you want to update? I said yes, I downloaded VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.i386.rpm, run "rcvmware stop", then "rpm -U VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.i386.rpm". I tried to run it, and it told me to run "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" to configure it. This runs fine (enter to everything), it compiled the kernel modules, I run "rcvmware start", then I tried to start the server, and I get: cer@nimrodel:~> vmware vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. So, I run again that script: nimrodel:~ # /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped. Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 Virtual ethernet Unable to stop services for VMware Server Execution aborted. I stop again the service, and try again: nimrodel:~ # rcvmware stop Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 Virtual ethernet nimrodel:~ # /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped. Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 Virtual ethernet Unable to stop services for VMware Server Execution aborted. nimrodel:~ # So I rebooted, run the configure script, tried again, the exact same result. I think the script refuses to run because there is a module loaded that does not unload: Module Size Used by ppdev 8836 0 vmnet 33424 2 <== nimrodel:~ # rmmod vmnet ERROR: Module vmnet is in use What can I do now? It refuses to run. :-/ This is opensuse 10.3 fully updated. [...] Update: If I remove the file "/etc/vmware/not_configured" the server runs happily. But it is created again for the next run! - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
