Roland, you suggest: > I suspect running it this way will require a desktop, I mean it is hardly > likely to pop up something on a desktop that isn't there ;-) You raise an intestesing point. For decades I've run all sorts of applications from a CL ñthat raise windows with a window manager but without my having any desktop. I never experienced this problem before. I always thought of a DE as a set of toys that are on top of and share a graphical environment, the X Windows System that I have installed and is independent of any DE. > Try reading the man page.

[DNG] VMware segmentation fault
It been ten years since I've installed a virtual machine under Linux, and things have changed. I downloaded and ran VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.x86_64.bundle to install VMware Player with success. Howver, I have trouble starting it. I have no desktop. Does that make a differnce? $ vmplayer & [1] 25824 haines@engels:~$ /usr/bin/vmplayer: line 35: 25827 Segmentation fault "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Player" --icon="vmware-player" Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root? $ sudo vmplayer & [2] 25851 The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should expect a VMware window to pop up.
