 |
|
Hi,
after successfully using vmware-workstation 6.x for a long period of time I decided to have a glance at vmware-player.
So I unmerged vmware-workstation and emerged vmware-player with success.
The player lacks the possibility to create new emulation setups. Therefor I switched back to workstation again by unmerging player and emerging workstation. I of course have vmware-modules installed and I also did a emerge --config vmware-workstation. So everything should be setup fine. But now I cannot start vmware networking anymore.
My log file (/var/log/vnetlib) tells me:
| Quote: | sh: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-ping: No such file or directory
VNLServiceStart - Fork and exec command and arguments: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmnet-bridge
VNLServiceStart - Argument: 0, /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmnet-bridge
VNLExtractPidFromFile - Could not open the PID file: /var/run/vmnet-natd-4.pid, error: No such file or directosh: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-ping: No such file or directory
VNLServiceStart - Fork and exec command and arguments: /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmnet-detect
art - Argument: 0, /opt/vmware/player/bin/vmnet-detect

I cannot find any reference to /opt/vmware/player neither in /etc/vmware nor in /opt/vmware.
So where does /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-networks find this path?
Thanks
stefan

| Usually when i tried vmware-server, i had to run some perl script that comes with instalation and it set all up. Emerge usually told me to do that... |

my own stupidity ...
doing a proper etc-update after emerging such packages helps a lot.
I just discovered, that etc-update also updates vmware.conf, which contains these references to vmware-player.
I must have been temporarily blind, when I looked for this weird effect.
After updating the vmware configuration file, vmnet starts again ...
Thank you
