OH! Now i understand you were running Ubuntu IN VMWare running in SUSE…
My congratulations–I have not yet been successful with VBox 1.5.2 in SUSE 10.3,
maybe I should upgrade or switch to VMWare.

If you upgrade your kernel just run:

gnomesu vmware
or
kdesu vmware

and all the kernel stuff will be rebuilt.

Hmmmm, I tried installing workstation from the RPM. It says that it installs, and it’s listed under yast as 6.5, however I cannot find anywhere to run from, and vmware isn’t listed as a command. I tried uninstalling reinstalling from several places; in one I tried using the apt tools and got an error- it said that it quietly exited because of an unsigned package. I’m lost with this.

I had the same problem. I used the bundle instead. Works fine now.

See here for a short guide:
