 Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 8:09 pm Post subject: vmware workstation won't start |
 |
|
| Code: |
ecce@localhost ~ $ vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl.
|
This is what happens, even if I run the config script 100 times (as root). vmware workstation is version 5.0.0.13124-r5. Seems a lot of people have problems with vmware, but I found no thread about this particular problem.

Is there any stale not_configured file in /etc/vmware/? If so, delete it and try running vmware again.
Ciao,

Yes, I hade a file called not_configured. I removed it and this happened:
| Code: |
localhost vmware # /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.
/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware: line 1010: [: -: integer expression expected
/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware: line 933: [: -: integer expression expected
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
Virtual ethernet failed
Unable to stop services for VMware Workstation
Execution aborted.

| Code: |
localhost vmware # ps aux | grep vmware
root 15762 0.0 0.0 1500 464 pts/0 S+ 21:46 0:00 grep vmware
|
Now what? |

Any modules related to vmware loaded you could unload manually first? You could also try running vmware-config.pl -skipstopstart
Btw. you might wanna update to vmware 5.5 anyway.

I managed to get the config going. Guess what happened when I tried to execute the vmware binary;
| Code: |
ecce@localhost ~ $ vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl. |
The not_configured file in /etc/vmware has not returned.
Anyway I'll upgrade to 5.5 in a few days when I can reboot, maybe things work better then. I'm so barried in work right now I don't have time to troubleshoot it anyway, so I think we should end this thread.
Thanks anyway. |
