For school, I occasionally have to connect to a VMWare remote desktop hosted at the school with VMWare View Client. I’ve been looking around for an OpenSUSE version of it, but haven’t had much luck. It’s not on the VMWare site, so I guess they obviously don’t support it. But, I’m wondering if there is another source for it, or if there is an alternative application that will let me connect to VMWare virtual machines remotely?
I tried Remmina but wasn’t able to get it working. Could just be that I was using the wrong settings.
Yes, thier site says its a linux install, and shows it as a .gz file but unfortunatley its only a link for installing it in ubuntu through the software center. Even then the link doesn’t actually work, and you have to add a different repository to be able to download it using apt-get, which I have done in Ubuntu. The Ubuntu client works well, but, I prefer to use OpenSUSE.
That being said, if there’s a way to just…I dont know, move the ubuntu version of it to my OpenSUSE installation, I’m up for that too.

Hi
You could try moving the files, do you know what they are named and
where?

I installed VMWare in ubuntu by adding a repository and then using apt-get, so I don’t know where the files were put and what thier names are. But, so far I’ve found some files in /usr/share and usr/bin when searching for vmware. There are a few folder related to it in /usr/share. Most of the icon files are there. I’ll have to have a harder look a bit later.
Thanks a lot for the replies. I tried downloading the .deb package and converting it with alien. The package converted and I installed it, but I haven’t been able to boot into OpenSUSE Since. So, that didn’t work out for my particular setup. Maybe it does for others. It could have been something I did incorrectly. The issue appears to be that the network manager won’t load at boot, along with a few other things.
I can’t copy and paste obviously, but this is what appears at boot:
[FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service
See 'systemctl status NetworkManager-dispatcher.service' for details
[FAILED] Failed to start Modem Manager
[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: X Display Manager
See 'systemctl status xdm.service' for details
[FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager
See 'systemctl status NetworkManager.service' for details
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Network Manager Wait Online
[OK] Reached target Login Prompts
Unfortunatley I’m not familiar enough with OpenSUSE to fix this without just doing a reinstall.
If I need to, I’ll just use Ubuntu or Windows 7 to access my virtual machine, once I get OpenSUSE fixed.
Actually converting .deb to rpm using alien has worked for me But I don’t understand what went wrong with you.If you are able to get the GUI mode try restarting the networkmanager-dispatcher service and then restart.
