Hi, Im kinda lost on this completely. Xen fails to start on my laptop, some fatal cpu error…
Anyway I tried to start vmware vm, did it before on same os like now but never have I seen something like this.
Probably I made some stupid mistake but cant find solution on my own.
rpm is installed but there are no files at all, I tried it by site downloaded rpm, zypper repo and yasts software menagement…
Screenshot says it all I think, please advice.

I am not sure if this will work but as root type:
rpm rebuilddb
That should fix any errors in the rpm database that keeps track of what is
installed, then try and un-install vmware if it either un-installs with no
error or you get a “not installed” message then try and install again.
see if that helps, of course I could be way off base as I have not used
vmware at all only Vbox.
Doing the above will/should not hurt anything else and might give us a clue
as to what has happened.

If you installed the rpm through YaST you will need to to remove it through YaST Software Management first. Player and Workstation rpms need to be installed via command line with
rpm -Uhv VMpackagename.rpm (use the correct package name) after you remove the previous install. I wrote about the issue here.
rpm -Uvh worked
but in 3rd try…
I couldnt remove it with rpm since rpm couldnt find an install. Removed it with yast yet rpm still saw it installed…
Then I installed it with yast, didnt remove it and installed it with rpm -Uvh
still no idea why there was so much trouble with it, not my first rpm installation not even first vm installation on opensuse 11 yet, this is new to me. A
Now I cant start it but atleast I see the files…
