Re: [opensuse] Re: Update of VMware ?

I would not install VMWare from the RPM packages, I've never had much luck
with that.

Download the source and install (it's still very simple).

Once this is done then run the any-any-update and you should be fine.

Also what version of VMWare are you trying to install?

Hi Jon and thanks for your reply.

the kernel source as above. You're not running the Xen kernel by any

First of all, can you double check that your running kernel version
matches

Sure I can:

Linux lajka3 2.6.18.8-0.3-default #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

But I'm not sure it should be SMP, and cannot remember what SMP is ?

I'm not sure, that I ran Xen kernel at the point of updating VMware.

Could be, because after a reboot -yes you are reading right :-) - I
could run the vmware-config.pl ok

At the very simplest, the script cannot build the vmmon kernel module :-)
The real question, of course, is why is it exiting out. VMware
workstation is pretty straightforward on 10.2. If it's still failing
miserably, you could try using the any-any update from here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_VMware_on_SUSE_Linux#Download_and_Apply
_vmware-any-any-update

Hope this helps,
Jon

Then I came to the point where I could start up VMware, but got this:

"The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is temporarily down because
the bridged Ethernet interface is down".

What should I do now ?
