Re: VMware on Mageia 2

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.

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.
