[SLUG] RE: VMware 5 Workstation + Linux = kernel panic?
Hey James, Must be something in the air. I've just downloaded VMW 5 to trial on my LAPTOP! I've had similar problems, but I'm afraid I have no solutions. I've had to 'reboot' :) now when trying to use it, it says it's not configured. So I try to configure it again /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl and... nothing. Just tried to remove (try reinstall) and it says it not installed... will have to investigate more. Sorry I'm no help, but thought I'd let you know You are not alone :)) Regards, Patrick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Oh, I'm using FC4 and when I run rpm -e it says that the vmware rpm in not installed... BUT I can find all the files... James, have you tried to uninstall it?

I run vmware 5.0 on breezy/amd64. I have definitely run two vms at once on this system. I was running a team of up to about 6 vms with the same vmware, but can't remember if it was hoary or breezy. I use bridged networking. The team also had internal networks. -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

James, have you tried to uninstall it? No but I have reconfigured it a dozen times or more. :P It seems to only be a problem with bridged network interfaces. I'm happily using a Win2K virtual machine at the moment with a NAT interface, then just fired up stone on my linux (host) stone proxy 8080, told IE in the Win2K to use the NAT address on the linux OS as the proxy using port 8080 and I'm surfing! Can't seem to get windows update working in the virtual machine yet, but that's not really important. I'm dicking around with Java+Tomcat etc. :) Cheers, James -- Yinkel, n.: A person who combs his hair over his bald spot, hoping no one will notice. -- Rich Hall, Sniglets -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Well, Still cannot remove the RPM and nothing seems to want to make VMware work rpm -ivh --force VMWare-Workstation-X.X.X.i386.rpm rpm -e VMWare-Workstation VMware-Workstation is not installed ??? The VMware site states: rpm -e VMware http://www.vmware.com/support/ws2/doc/install_config_linux/uninstall_linux.html Still no joy. I can see all the packages if I search, but... Ah... forced reinstall then reboot (?) worked... lets see how far I get now... (thinks: maybe back to qemu if I can install it in FC4) Hi All, The company who puts their logo on my pay cheque requires me to use VMware (as of today) to do some funky product demos. No big deal. However, during the configuration of the 3 VM's I need to run (simultaneously) I found a curious little bug. If I configure a bridging network adapter, in VMware, to either of my laptop's interfaces then bring that interface up, the kernel panics and it's all over. Host networks are fine. Haven't tried NAT'ed networks but we'll see about that when I'm online again. Seems there's something the kernel doesn't like about the bridging VMware network kernel module. I'm running Kubuntu (Breezy) with 2.6.12-9-686. The VMware modules are being compiled with Breezy's GCC-3.4 compiler (which works fine with the ATi binary driver's kernel module). Anyone else seen this before and if so, did you fix it? Google and VMware's website turns up nadda.
