Anyway, all I had to do is remove /etc/vmware/not_configured and all is
golden.
Thanks, that helped. Now I can run vmware as root.
But attempting to run it as myself, I get:
(vmware:7809): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Can not open pixbuf loader module file
'/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders'
I've added myselft to the vmware-group, but gdk-pixbuf.loaders is:
# ls -la /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
-rw------- 1 root root 3324 2006-05-29 01:51 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
So something here seems to be all wrong.
I probably should take the hint and just buy a new machine instead of playing with VMWare. :*)
