I'll try anyway... but I have to download the tgz instead of the rpm for it :-(

Are you sure this script runs in opeeSUSE? [...] Well, it did run. The results are weird. For example, if I want to configure it again, it fails: *************** minas-tirith:~ # vmware-config.pl The following VMware kernel modules have been found on your system that were not installed by the VMware Installer. Please remove them then run this installer again. vmci vmnet vmmon I.e. - 'rm /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/misc/<ModuleName>.{o,ko}' Execution aborted. *************** Perhaps, as the modules have been modified, the script does not recognize itself. [...] I'm unable even to create a virtual machine. For example, if I change the name of the virtual machine, the "Next" button fails to work. Everything stops working, I have to restart "vmware". To get it to read the filesystem, I have to add something named "datastore". I get to the point of defining a floppy drive image, and there the "next" button stops working... No, all buttons stop working... This server 2 interface is horrible. Guesses: Broken Java. Broken Vmware (due to the patching?) [...] Mmmm, after a hundred clicks, it continues. I start the client machine... but I see no way to "see" that damm machine. Where is the screen? :-? [...] Somewhere it ask me to install a plugin in the browser. It installs, restarts the browser, and... now I only get a blank display in firefox when pointing to vmware interface. I can't see anything at all! I try removing the plugin... no use. It always displays a blank. No management interface, no nothing! :-/ Looking at the source of that blank page, I see: ***************** <img class="MessageIcon" src="error-32x32.png" alt="Error" /> <p class="MessageSubject">VMware Infrastructure Web Access will not work unless your browser supports JavaScript.</p> <p class="MessageBody">Please ensure that you are using a compatible browser and that JavaScript is enabled.</p> <ul class="CommandLinks"><li><a class="Command" href="index.html">Try Again</a></li></ul> ***************** Another reason to dump that iced tea java :-( [...] No, it wasn't that. I had to kill the vmware-hostd process, after stopping the services repeatedly. [...] I had to fight this horrible interface for a longtime before getting a working console, which is a browser pop-up window. Is there no way to start a standalone, dedicated, console, not part of a browser? Like in version 1.x? This is really horrible. Who got this idea, wasn't he fired instantly? :-/ I hate this version 2, I prefer version 1. Much more easier to understand and work with. This is horrible. Really horrible :-/ And very slow... i have to wait minutes for actions! - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
