openSUSE 11.1 and VMware Workstation 6.5.1

[Magic31]

True.. Still I prefer the RPM as cleanup/removing seems cleaner... And
it means I click less installing

Thank you ccolotti - your solution worked for me (64 bit opensuse 11.1,
vmware player 2.5.1 64 bit).

VMware on my 11.1 64bit is running, the only error i have when i try to
start a virtual machine, i become the following messages:

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

and

Failed to initialize monitor device.


and

Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer
process to connect to.


someone have a solution for me?

And how is it possible to uninstall the bundle package from VMware?

Greetings and happy new Year

Your vmware services have probably not started.
Try opening a terminal console;

Code:
--------------------

su -
service vmware start

--------------------


After that you can probably start your guest.

Starting openSUSE 11.0 the boot happens so quickly vmware tries to
start before the network is up and running.
There is an option to slow things down by disabling parallel boot.

Open YaST > /etc/sysconfig Editor
drill down to System > Boot > RUN_PARALLEL - set the value to no.
Starting with the next (re)boot vmware should load normally.

Hope that helps,
Wj

This worked for me as well, but after rebooting the vmware services
were not started - and there is no rcvmware or something.

Any idea

Dear all,
I've install VMware workstation 6.5.1-120130 successfully.
And set the environment for the Client OS.
Then I click "Power On" ready to install the Client OS,
it showed as below:

"Unable to change virtual machine power state: VMware Workstation
cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run
the program and to access all directories it uses and rights to access
all directories for temporary files.."

Is there any reason to cause this happen?
even I try to copy present client OS to this machine, It still showed
like that.

Could some professional from here help me please on this one?
'Xen Virtualization brakes up [OpenSuse 11.1]. WTF? - openSUSE Forums'

Another question: Is it better to use Xen or to use VMware on OpenSuse
11.1?

P.

open a terminal and type:
modprobe vmmon

if you get any other errors about a missing module note the name of the
module and use modprobe to load it too.

you can also mv the /usr/lib64/vmware/modules/binary folder, and then
start vmware which will force it to reinstall and rebuild all the
modules.
