vmware-player doesn't see USB after update.
« on: June 16, 2011, 04:19:09 PM »
After update  in vmware-player  disappears USB. It happens very often.
To fix it I reinstall vmware-player each time.

I know it is complicated problem and it could depend not on PCLinuxOS but vmware-player with Linux. So I don`t hope that it is easy to fix.
But I`m searching for a faster solution may be to reconfigure vmware-player or to start USB manually so I don`t need to reinstall it each time.

Have you considered installing VirtualBox and creating a VM in it? Install the getvirtualbox package, then run it from the PC menu. PC --> More Applications --> Emulators --> Get Oracle VM VirtualBox

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

Hi,

Any relation with one of the dedicated desktops of this sub-forum ? No harm in my question : just this topic does not seem at the right place. ;-)

Thanks.

old-polack, I`ve considered installing virtualbox.
It has its own disadvantages, complicated system of copying images.
Thanks for detailed install description on PCLinuxOS.

melodie, I completely agree with you.
