[Bug 57957] Re: install/uninstall doesn't complete because of broken init-script
OK this thread got a bit messy. As a newbie I try to summarize how I fixed my VMWare player installation (Xubuntu 7.04, Compaq Deskpro, no Atheros chipset): ===SYMPTOM=== (after VMWare player package installation. As described by saads above) Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor failed Virtual ethernet failed Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded before running this script. ===SOLUTION=== (quoting Jonathan Gordon & Corey): 1. Back up: sudo cp /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.sh /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.sh.orig 2. Edit script: sudo mousepad /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.shecho done > /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.sh Comment out four lines as in the snip : -- snip -- # Commented out by myself on 05-sept-07 to get vmplayer out of half-installed state # vmware_exec 'Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet'"$vHubNr" \ # vmware_start_bridge "$vHubNr" "$interface" exitcode=$(($exitcode + $?)) elif [ -n "$hostaddr" -a -n "$netmask" ]; then vmware_create_vmnet "$vHubNr" vmware_bg_exec 'Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet'"$vHubNr" \ vmware_start_hostonly "$vHubNr" 'vmnet'"$vHubNr" \ "$hostaddr" "$netmask" 'yes' exitcode=$(($exitcode + $?)) eval 'nat="$vmdb_answer_VNET_'"$vHubNr"'_NAT"' if [ "$nat" = 'yes' ]; then # vmware_exec 'NAT service on /dev/vmnet'"$vHubNr" \ # vmware_start_nat "$vHubNr" exitcode=$(($exitcode + $?)) -- snip -- 3.

Restore: sudo cp /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.sh.orig /usr/lib/vmware-player/net-services.sh As experienced by Bensin, step 3 first failed: I got the same error again. So I fiddled around with the packages, I added other vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.XX.XX-X using synaptic. I repeated step 3 and magically somehow it worked on the 3rd attempt - I could finally start VMWare player from the apps menu. Would be great if this could be fixed soon, since it's not quite encouraging for beginners...
