What version of vmware or vmware-player? What is the output of “uname -a” from a terminal?
iam pretty new to opensuse.

opensuse 11.3 gnome
alex
The terminal is the equivalent to the windows shell (command prompt). The quickest way is to execute Alt + F2. In the dialog box that pops up enter gnome-terminal for gnome, or konsole for kde and hit enter. Then copy and paste
uname -a
into the terminal and hit enter. Then paste the output of that command here along with the version of vmware or vmware-player your installing.

I should say im not trying to install vmvare(I dont know what it is) Ijust come across that message saying:
vmtoolsd FATAL: Module vmmemctl not foundmtoolsd FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found
when booting in failsafe to see if everything works the right way.
thanks for helping me
That is part of the open source vmware tools that openSUSE includes in the kernel. I thought you were having trouble compiling the vmware modules after installing it. This is a bug in 11.3, but will not affect anything. The best way to check for errors is to take a look at the output of
dmesg
from a terminal. [Bug 633274] New: vmtoolsd: modprobe vmmemctl fails because it was renam](http://lists4.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2010-08/msg04020.html)
OK so this will not affect my system that’s good
tried using the dmesg but found it hard to understand for a newbie like me, I don’t know what to look for and i guess its to much to post
thanks for you support i guess i leave it then.
have a nice day /alex
Is there a particular problem your looking for? The command line can be overwhelming sometimes. You can filter the results in a number of ways. The dmesg command shows the output of your boot process, and hardware initializing. If you run
dmesg | grep ACPI
it will only show ACPI related entries.

no just had that vmtools thought / so its solved
thanks
