VMware Tools config problems on SlackWare 11
Good morning to everybody,
After successfully installing SlackWare 11.0 on VMware Workstation 5.5 winXP, I've tried to install vmware tools with tar installer. I used the rcx.d hack found in the forum and proceed. On a question to overwrite /etc/vmware-tools giving answer yes caused exit, so afterwards I respond no and install continued. After completion, I've tried to run /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl but got this message sh: /etc/vmware is a directory Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped. Unable to stop services for VMware tools Execution aborted. Please if you have a solution, please be precise. I'm a newbie to linux and I must use SlackWare for my university undergraduate projects Thanks in advance |
Good morning!
Maybe you've to kill the vmware services first (by using e.g. Ksysguard)? |
The vmware tools script searches for the vmware start|stop|restart script in /etc/init.d/ no matter where you actually put it. If you put init.d and your rcX.d scripts in /etc/rc.d, then all you'll need is a symlink.
Code:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/init.d -- Shade |
