Make vmware workstation 7.1.3 running with opensuse 11.4 (kernel 2.6.37)

November 15th, 2010 by Bruno Friedmann

Note about the 2.6.37xx

There’s a solution to make the kernel modules building under openSUSE factory (11.4) and the kernel 2.6.37

Preparation

download the lastest vmware workstation 7.1.3 (the patch is only for this version)
download the patch vmware-7.1.3-2.6.37-rc5.patch
download the script to patch patch-modules_v62-opensuse.sh

Install

Proceed to the normal installation of workstation, if you have older version, it will be replaced
by running under root account

sh VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.3-324285.x86_64.bundle

Patch

Now we have to apply the needed patch, just run as root

sh patch-modules_v62-opensuse.sh

Here the output result

sh patch-modules_v62-opensuse.sh 
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file vmci-only/include/compat_semaphore.h
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file vmmon-only/linux/driver.c

All done, you can now run VMWare WorkStation.

Having trouble with vmware-console & your keyboard mouse

January 22nd, 2010 by Bruno Friedmann

If you are like me, looking around for a fix to get your keyboard & mouse working like before the 11.2 release with your vmware console. Try this fix :

Uncomment the line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
option “AutoAddDevices” “off”

I’ve tried this in xfce & kde4 desktop, and now don’t have any strange grabbing off keyboard & mouse.
I can now easily send the ctrl+alt+del evil sequence to some windows vms.

If it works for you, please send a reply to these bugs :
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558780
and
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551929#c17

Many ubuntu 9.10 guys are also hit by this problem !
