[HELP] VMware workstation
« on: October 18, 2012, 01:04:28 PM »
OK I just completely reinstalled my system using XFCE 2012 (I WAS using Gnome 2010).


Today I got around to installing VMware Workstation 7.1.5 which worked great on PCLOS 2010.

BUT Today I got the following when trying to configure it. HELP!

root@localdomain:/home/USER# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Stopping VMware services:
   VMware USB Arbitrator                                     [  OK  ]

   Virtual machine monitor                                    [  OK  ]
   Blocking file system                                         [  OK  ]

This is also what is in the Configuration log file.

Try installing a 2.6.x kernel before running the installer process, as that's the kernel it seems to be set up to use.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?
