VMware Workstation as *.rpm

English Applications

Jo.

I’ve downloaded the current version of VMware Workstation
(VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.rpm) and stzarted installation
via YAST.

YAST actually starts… but then quits rapidly without leaving a
message. When looking it up via console, WMware Workstation is
installed. I can’t find a graphical menue either.

What went wrong? >:)

Please… does anyone know how to correctly install it from
*.rpm-scratch?
Don’t be shy. — :wink:

  • TheMask,

open a console, become root, then try and run vmware-config.pl
Does that work?

There is no more vmware-config.pl in Workstation or Player.

To install rpm, first remove it from inside YaST Software Management.
Now open a root console and install with:
rpm -Uhv VMpackagename.rpm where package name is the package. I find
that after you cd to where you d/l it, it is easiest to simply type the
first few letters and hit the Tab key to auto complete it. See the Topic
‘here’ (http://tinyurl.com/57nl8b) if you have any questions.
