Hi Alon, Could you please run those commands from the console and report all the output they produce (particularly for vmware-server-console, since we don't really support the built-in console found in vmware-server)? I've got dbus-0.62 and all the same vmware packages installed and there doesn't seem to be any conflict or problems running the console... I didn't think vmware made use of the dbus system bus, so it might be more likely to be a gnome issue, but hopefully the output from the console will tell us more. Thanks... 5:) Just curios... Why don't you support the built-in console? It is working the same as the standalone one. There is no output... I don't use gnome... I use KDE. The only messages I get are: $ vmware-server-console /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/bin/vmware-server-console: /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/bin/vmware-server-console: /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/bin/vmware-server-console: /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) But I get the same messages when the console works (dbus daemon down). There is no --verbose argument... Do you know who to make it to write more details? And I am not the only one that have this problem... In the tracker bug you will see that there is at least one more user that have this problem. OH.... YOU HAVE dbus-0.62!!! I have 0.61. Upgraded, and it works. Please fix dependencies of vmware-server, vmware-server-console. Current output: $ vmware-server-console /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/bin/vmware-server-console: /opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) Attempt to remove filter function 0xb6ddcc80 user data 0x88af1d0, but no such filter has been added But it works. Thanks! Looking at binary modules, there is a reference to dbus: libhal_ctx_set_dbus_connection^@^@libhal_device_get_property_string^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@HAL05LoadHALLibraries: Could not dlopen libdbus-1.so.1 or libdbus-1.so.2. ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@HAL05LoadHALLibraries: Could not dlopen libhal.so.1. ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@HAL05LoadGlibLibrary: Could not dlopen libdbus-glib-1.so.1. So I guess vmware requires dbus... Just need to depend right version... Thanks! Cool, thanks for tracking that down Alon. It's a little odd that it can run ok without dbus, or with dbus over a certain version, but not with your particular version. I'll have a think about how best to put this into the dependency list. I think it will probably end up as "!<sys-apps/dbus-0.62". I'll try to get something ready for tomorrow. Thanks again for reporting it, you're doing great work! 5:) I have vmware-server working with dbus-0.62 Is there something i can run to help? Hi, I have dbus 0.61-r1 (stable in portage) and vmware-server 1.0.1.29996 Everything works just fine for me. Now the new vmware-server 1.0.1.29996-r1 asks for dbus 0.62 which is not stable yet. As I'm running a stable system, and dbus is a major component, I wouldn't like to upgrade dbus to 0.62. So I'll leave vmware-server as 101.29996 because it just works. If you need any reports from my system, just to see why it works on mine with dbus 0.61-r1 and not on others, please say so. Thanks very much Mike for the work you're doing on vmware ebuilds. Regards, Dan. Dan, since vmware-server itself isn't stable, it's not a requirement that it depend on a stable version of dbus. I have the feeling that the difference in dbus probably also relates to the version of gnome in use, however, since there have been no complaints by people using dbus-0.62, I think I'm going to mark this bug as fixed. If you'd really like to upgrade (since the ebuild was bumped because of a security issue, which is why the other ebuilds are no longer available in portage), you might like to try out the steps in: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=54921&tstart=0 Which suggest that vmware is forcing the loading of a particular version of dbus. Hope that helps... 5:) Doh, forgot to mark it fixed. If it works with dbus-0.62, and there are no more complaints why does the new ebuild for vmware-server block it (In reply to comment #9) > If it works with dbus-0.62, and there are no more complaints why does the new > ebuild for vmware-server block it The new ebuild has: !<sys-apps/dbus-0.62 It does not block dbus-0.62, so I don't understand the question. I know for a fact that vmware did not work with dbus-0.61. It seems I was running dbus-0.61-r1 tho it was working... Thought I was running 0.62 I'm running vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4 with dbus-0.61-r1 and everything works just fine. The requirement for dbus 0.62 is not justified, but I can live with it. It's a pity that every time when I emerge -uDav world I get a report that dbus 0.62 blocks the updates, I am not going to install it since everything works fine, so I just emerge -av all_the_packets_displayed_previously_except_dbus. Would you like Alon to reemerge dbus 0.61-r1 and try again to run vmware? It works for me and Sonny. Cheers, Dan. P.S. I'm not going to reopen the bug, but the fix was not needed. Hmmmm, curiouser and curiouser. Dan, could you let me know whether you use KDE or Gnome? I'm wondering if perhaps it's an unfortunate interaction of gtk and dbus outside of the gnome desktop? I might be tempted to remove the requirement on dbus-0.62 if it mostly works ok on the lower version, and perhaps just include a note at the end of the ebuild. What do you guys think? 5:) Hi Mike, I'm using KDE, like Alon. I've just noticed that Alon uses kernel 2.6.18. Could this be related with his need for dbus-062? Ohh, and now, reading the bug reports once again, I see that you don't support vmware-server built in console, just vmware-server-console. And I *don't* have vmware-server-console emerged, seems like I'm using the built in one, and it works without problems with dbus 0.61-r1 shuttle ~ # which vmware /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware shuttle ~ # equery b /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware [ Searching for file(s) /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware in *... ] app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4 (/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware) Here is my emerge --info, if it helps.
