 Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2003 7:08 pm Post subject: vmware rc script |
 |
|
Well, after unmerge vmware 3, I deleted /etc/init.c/vmware. So, I have no startup script for vmware 4 beta now, and I don't know how to write one 
Could anyone share the vmware rc script with me? |

have you checked bugs.gentoo.org ? Maybe there's already an ebuild for it.
Tell me one thing, is graphic card emulation improved to 3D aceleration, in that version ?
And can we pass non-preseted hardware, like a TVCard, for instance ?
-- EDIT --
Exactly: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17679
For great things like vmware, ebuilds are uploaded to bugs.gentoo.org instantaneously 
-- EDIT2 --
Ooops, I guess I misunderstood your situation, but I won't clean my last edit since I might be wrong (again) |

Thanks sKwelBoy 
Running the script gave me these errors, probably due to different versions
| Code: |
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 5: .2230-r1/vmware,v: No such file or directory
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 64: : command not found
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 64: : command not found
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 65: : command not found
|
Yes I did use the ebuild from bugs.gentoo.org but I am not sure if it is supposed to generate the rc script for me..
Anyway, I tried to run "/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware start" and I think it started nicely.
But then everytime I create a new virtual machine or open a .cfg file, this error popup
| Code: |
VMListApp_SetVmPath: unable to set /home/kidd/vmware/win98/win98.cfg -> /vm/#70991ab65fa15c46/
|
I did found vmx70991ab65fa15c46 in /tmp... not sure if this is related..
Then, when I tried to power on a virtual machine, this error came out
| Code: |
waitpid failed errno = No child processes
|
Damn glibc that mess up with vmware 3  |

LOL now that I have compiled vmware 4 and noticed there was a init script, you've found it out
Yeah, I'm getting both of those errors also...
First time I started it, worked great. Then I rebooted (the host) and it remains not working... |

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge vmware-workstation && etc-update

Worked for me.

Hey, just installed win98 and it gives me no errors. Just RH 7.1 doesnt boot with the "no child processes" vmware error.
Btw, how can I setup sound in win98 ?? I instaled the /dev/dsp as sound device and it's a SBLive, so has multiple-channels. Running vmware as root, which has write permissions to dsp... what am I doing wrong ... ?
And what about vmsamba ?
Couldnt set that up .... I really dont get any of this.... |

Have you solved the problem, j-kidd ... ? |

Well, using the old .cfg from vmware 3 gave me the "no child process" error, but if I create a new virtual machine then everything is fine.
About the sound, vmware 4 is using creative sound blaster ensoniq audiopci and you can get the driver from creative's website |

Yeah, I noticed that, but creating a new VM for each time I boot is really annoying 
well, thanks for the sound tip
-- EDIT --
oh, and how do you use your LPT port in VMWare with win98 ?
I gave parallel port module loaded (parport) and ibm type module.
What device file should I use (parport4, parport16, parport32...) ?
I really need something to shoot my mp3 into my old yepp32... |
