any idea? i can't work without VMware....
thanks

thanks isadora, now i hope someone can help me with vmware player...

Just had same issues installing the latest version of VMWare Player.
Downloaded the so-called "Helios-patch", read for more information:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2034437

Then, uninstalled the current version of VMWare Player:

Code: Select all

vmware-installer -u vmware-player

Removed the following directories:
~/.kde4/.vmware
/usr/lib/vmware

Then installed the latest version of VMWare Player, directly followed by the installation of the "Helios-patch".
Finally rebooted, and go!!!

As you see this is the workaround for VMWare Player, which suits my needs, creating and using virtual machines.
Hopefully it is helping you in the right direction.

it took a while, but it did it! thanx!!!!

Great. Will you place mark your topic as [SOLVED]?

Not sure if I did it right, tell me it's ok, please.

Just right.

hello

I'm having the same problem with VMware wokstation 8.03 x86_64 in Mageia 2

I don't know if I should open a new topic related to this issue or asking in this one

thanks

Not necessarily, when the workaround described here works for you, no need.

@isadora
The workaround does not work with VMware Workstation 8.0.3
I get the same problem as mention in the above link (ubutunto).
When runing patch-modules_3.2.0.sh I get the errormessage:

Sorry, this script is only for VMWare WorkStation 8.0.2 or VMWare Player 4.0.2. Exiting

Someone who knows how to get VMware Workstation to run in Mageia 2?

EDIT
I found how to continue.
I change the versionnumber in the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh from 8.0.2 to 8.0.3 and 4.0.2 to 4.0.3
then run patch-modules_3.2.0.sh as root.
Then start vmware.
Upp and running.

Thanks for your update janpihlgren, glad it is working now.

Thanks isadora and janpihlgren, VMware Workstation 8.0.3 is now up and running!
