hey folks!
today i’ve got the message that vmware workstation was updated and that version 6.5.4 is out. so, i downloaded it and wanted to install … *schmecks*
there was a problem – i remembered it, that the version 6.5.3 made similar troubles – the installer hung up at configuring the vmplayer. here and here we found again the solution. shortly briefed:
- in one terminal, run: while true; do sudo killall -9 vmware-modconfig-console; sleep 1; done
- in a second terminal, run: sudo ./VMware-Workstation-6.5.4-246459.x86_64.bundle –ignore-errors
- kill loop in first terminal.
- # cd /tmp
# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
# vi vmnet-only/vnetUserListener.c (near line 37 add #include “compat_sched.h”)
# tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar
# vi vmci-only/linux/vmciKernelIf.c (add #include “compat_sched.h” around line 30)
# vi vmci-only/include/pgtbl.h (add #include “compat_sched.h” around line 30)
# tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar vmci-only - run: sudo vmware-modconfig –console –install-all
- edit /etc/vmware/bootstrap to add the line: VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force
and everything is fine 🙂
thanks for all the fish!
