How do I get around this?
localhost init.d # /etc/init.d/vmware start
* VMware Player is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
* for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
* following command: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl.
* VMware is not properly configured! See above. [ !! ]
localhost init.d # /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Player are stopped.
* ERROR: "vmware" has not yet been started.
Unable to stop services for VMware Player
Execution aborted.
localhost init.d # |

| Code: |
/etc/init.d/vmware zap
|
this will reset the script status to stopped....

Seems to me that the vmware-config.pl script requires vmware services to be started in order to stop them. But it doesn't handle that the vmware services already are stopped.

hmm.. i just tried it with vmware workstation, no probleme here. Maybe it's VMware Player specific.
Anyway, you can run the vmware-config.pl with -skipstopstart
| Code: |
/opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl -skipstopstart
|
Maybe this will help....
