Hi Steve, I think I haven't been clear enough about the issue. The
server component is starting up fine, as are the virtual machines that I
have starting automatically. What I am trying to do is get the console
going, and just as the logged on user rather than having to invoke sudo
and provide the password. Hope this makes it clearer?
Cheers,
Roger

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

Good morning. I took the bait of the minor upgrade available from
VMWare Server to go up a massive 0.01 to 1.05, downloading their tar
file and running the install script. The installation went fine and VMs
run and behave as usual. However I am no longer able to use a KDE menu
or Autostart entry to launch the application, the only method I have
found so far is to launch manually via command line thus:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware -l
[sudo] password for roger:
which is a pain and obviously not good practice. Without sudo I get
permission denied which seems to be contrary to my understanding of the
permissions in that I have execute rights:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ls -al /usr/bin | grep vmware
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4570 2008-04-02 11:45 vmware
Yes, yes, I know, use Adept - and I'm really bad. It's only offering
1.04, sure I could remove 1.05 and go back a release but it's the
learning for me. How can I create a desktop icon command that doesn't
require the use of sudo? I know the "right click the desktop, create
new, link to application" bit, and /usr/bin/vmware as the application
command doesn't do it.
Thanks for any pointers!
Roger
