Wrong forum.
1: vmware related questions go to the virtualization forum.
2 12.3 related questions go to the beta forum.
Now go and use the report button to ask a moderator to move this post to
the appropriate forum.
So… I guess that you are installing the 12.3 beta version inside
vmware, is that it?

Even if it is only 3 days, 12.3 is still Pre-release. And more humble people have no experience with it. I will move this where the testers are: Pre-release/Beta.
CLOSED for the moment.
Moved from Hardware and open again.
Which version of vmware do you run ? Any vmware version older than 9.02 has probably problems to build its kernel modules due to the changes introduced by kernel version 3.7.
I’m running the newest version of VMWARE Player 5.0.2 build-1031769. It was released just a few days ago.
Sorry for posting in the wrong area to begin with.
Was all that really called for??? Since it was both a virtualization question and a 12.3 question, what would you have me do, post the same topic in both forums? Would you not then chastise me for double posting??? FFS, calm down…

I was not chastising you, so calm down - the moderators moved your post
to the appropriate place. They decided 
You still did not answer my question… I need some more clarification.
I’ll repeat:
Are you running 12.3 inside vmplayer?
Are you having problems with the guest tools? How do you install (or try
to) them?

If the thread is still open in four-and-a-half hours time, I guess
they’ll have to move it back again as 12.3 will be post-release and not
pre-release.

Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks.
openSUSE 12.3-RC2 (64-bit); KDE 4.10.00; AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor;
Video: nVidia GeForce 210 (using nouveau driver);
Sound: ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA); Wireless: BCM4306
There are at least two issues with vmware. I run opensuse 12.3 inside vmware Fusion, but the issues seem to be the same for all vmware products.
First, one needs to link according to this thread to compile vmware tools:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/483054-vmware-cannot-find-kernel-source.html
Then there is an issue with vmware that makes the network go down every other boot or so. The latest experience I have is to reboot the virtual machine and the pause and restart it… There are other ideas in the thread below, but they did not work for me. One sees
**warning guestinfo RecordRoutingInfo: Unable to collect IPv4 routing table
**
in /var/log/messages and ifconfig only shows the loop back interface. I guess the next update of the vmware tools will fix this.
I’m running the newest version of VMWARE Player 5.0.2 build-1031769. It was released just a few days ago.
Thank you for the help, Purpendicular

You are still not replying to my questions. See above, please.

And please stop pestering us with the use of bold characters (except may be when it is for a few words inside a sentence that need to be highlighted). Use CODE tags around computer text, use QUOTE tags where quoring others or documentation and the like and leave the rest as default font.
All of your questions have been answered.
This is my original post:
I read that vmware tools in installed by default now, but its not active on my vmware install of 12.3 nor can I find a place to activate it in OpenSUSE.
From this post, we can assume that I’m using OpenSUSE with vmware, be it vmware player or workstation is irrelevant. Why would I bring up a virtual machine program id I wasn’t using it in conjunction with OpenSUSE? From what I’ve gathered, the open vmware tools supposedly packaged with OpenSUSE, are an open implementation if vmware tools that one would install to enable full screen, desktop compositing, etc. Why would I make reference to those if I wasn’t running OpenSUSE as a guest in vmware? What purpose would this package serve for me?

If you say so… it is your problem, not mine. I can not help you, then.
Sorry.

There is a problem with open vmware tools version 9.2.0 :(. In this case, openSUSE 12.3 is guest OS. The host OS is Windows 7 64-bit with VMWare workstation version 9.0.2.
Please jamateur,
Do not hang your problem at the end of an already existing thread of many days ago. Almost nobody will see your problem.
Also, when you have a VMware problem, there is a Virtualization forum here.
To make you problem visibll to the best people that know somethingt about your subject, you should>:
- go to the (sub)forum that fits best to your problem;
- make a good telling title that gives a good idae about what the problem is;
- and make of course a good description about the versions of softwaree you use, what you did, what you expected to happen,what happened instaed.
This old thread is CLOSED now.
