 |
|
Ran into the usual problems, and (thought) I fixed them all.
| Code: | $ ls -al /opt/vmware/lib/bin
total 11952
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-09-17 18:15:34 ./
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2005-09-17 18:15:44 ../
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2101236 2005-09-17 18:15:34 vmrun*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6469884 2005-09-17 18:15:34 vmware*
-rwsr-x--- 1 root vmware 3636940 2005-09-17 18:15:34 vmware-vmx*
$ grep vmware /etc/group
vmware:x:407:user
$ id
uid=1000(user) gid=100(users) groups=0(root),10(wheel),11(floppy),16(cron),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video), 35(games),80(cdrw),85(usb),100(users),250(portage),407(vmware) |
Earlier today, the virtual machine started fine,
and I installed a guest OS. Now, I can't get the
virtual machine restarted. I get the same "Unable
to change virtual machine power state: Failed to
connect to peer process" message that people
get before fixing the permissions.
The only other information I have:
| Code: | $ dog /tmp/vmware-user/ui-16845.log
Oct 18 05:17:14: vmui| Log for VMware Workstation pid=16845 version=5.0.0 build=build-13124 option=Release

(above gets logged when starting the program -
the lines below get logged when trying to start
the virtual machine)
Oct 18 05:18:20: vmui| VMHSVMCbPower: Setting state of VM /vm/#946036b068804275/ to powerOn with option default

Oct 18 05:18:20: vmui| VMHSLaunchVM failed: Failed to connect to peer process |
Thank you for any help fixing this. |

I have tried to redefine LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running vmware, but new errors appeared:
| Code: | | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/vmware/lib/lib/ |
| Code: | /opt/vmware/lib/bin/vmware: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/vmware/lib/lib/libexpat.so.0: cannot read file data: Error 21
/opt/vmware/lib/bin/vmware: error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
