Hi everybody,
I just posted bugzilla https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220384 #################################################### Just installed Beta 2 in a VMware.
In order to compile the Tools, the Kernel Header include files are quired. Installed the package 'linux-kernel-headers', but they are from an older kernel (2.6.18-13, while installed kernel is 2.6.18.2-4)
Also in factroy tree, linux-kernel-headers is at 2.6.18-13 ####################################################
Severity is set to normal at the moment, even though it should be
much
higher (but I assume as reporter I should not change that)
OR: Did I miss something completely different? (that would render
that
bugzilla report invalid?

I have seen this vmware-tools/kernel header not matching -problem discussed in several groups and forums concerning several distros in addition to SUSE. And not just rpm based ones. As for SUSE it has been discussed already during the 9.x series.
But I have still not found a solutions for it. I sure would like to see a solution how to install the vmwaretools properly :)
Although this is obviously not quite the right place, I'd like to use the opportunity to ask for any pointers to this matter.
Vahis,
please read the Bugzilla Followup. I'm sorry for the noise I did. But it seems it's not the package linux-kernel-headers that is required, but the whole kernel-source.
After installing that package, I was able to run vmware-config-tools.pl without any problems.
Regards, Dominique
I installed another 10.1 for this test. VMware-tools installs there, no problem with the kernel modules.
Anyway, what I wanted to see was if the tools would work any better in 10.2 than the have so far in Linux.
The windows client can run in its window and the cursor can go in and out of the window when tools are installed. Can you confirm this function working when running SUSE as guest?
This has not been the case here. The cursor needs to be released from the guest window by pressing Ctrl+Alt if the tools are there or not.
So the tools in case of SUSE as guest are useless anyway. The display properties can be adjusted just as fine with or without the tools, so I'm not too worried about the tools.
Also if I run a remote session to that guest SUSE with FreeNX, the window works as any other window.
Tools = no biggie :)
Nevertheless the tools, but I came to think why it perhaps does not compile. I installed a real vmware server on a real host machine running 10.2 beta2. There weren't any probs. I haven't installed any virtual machines on that yet, but I guess the server should be like the tools in that matter. So I think maybe this problem with the vmware-tools not compiling comes from the fact that my guest machine was built with the http://www.easyvmx.com/ service. It's "fake" It's not installed from a real vmware workstation like they used to be when I made the instructions on my site. http://waxborg.pp.fi/mobile/articles/vmware.html Anything to confirm this? -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters.
