I was also having the problem, until last night.

The issue is with the hal daemon. I do not believe it is needed anymore for opensue 12.2

  1. Remove the hal daemon.

    zypper remove

  2. Uninstall vmware workstation 9. Run the following command from the directory with the VMware bundle.

    ./VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle -u vmware-workstation

  3. Reinstall vmware workstation 9.

    ./VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle

  4. Start vmware.

This worked for me.

This message thread was moved to the VM forum.

Thank You,

I am also facing same problem. When I have searched the directorory /etc/init.d I found two files starting with hal and also I have searched whether Hal daemon is running or not and found it is not running. I think that haldaemon need not to be uninstalled. Are there any other packages need to be uninstalled inorder to run VMware workstation successfully on openSUSE12.2.
