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.
Cheers,
James
