Currently running VMWare Workstation 6.0.4 on openSUSE 11.0 and I can no longer access my existing VMs. When I go to 'Open' I get:
The folder contents could not be displayed
Error stating file '/home/hjs/vmware': No such file or directory
When I browse to a an exiting .vmx file and select it for opening, I get:
Unable to open "suse_machine.vmx": The file could not be found.
even though the file is clearly there. What is causing this problem. This happens regardless of whether the .vmx file resides on a Linux (ext3) partition or Windows (ntfs) partition.
I should add that uninstalling then re-installing VMware Workstation did not fix the issue. Existing VMs that appear in the GUI (in the tabs at the top of the screen) can be run (started, paused, etc.) but I cannot select any VM by going to the 'Open' menu.
I have also installed the 'patch' to get Workstation running on 11.0 and this does not address this particular problem.
Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated.
Please do a:
pwd && ls -l
In the same directory with the .vmx file..
