Fixed in CVS... thanks for the bug report After applying the any-any-69 update to my love-sources-2.6.7-rc-love2 box, i still cant use vmware. After applying the patch, i can at least run vmware-config.pl without any errors. But after configuring it to use bridging, nat, host-only network and denying access to local partitions, i still cant start /etc/init.d/vmware successfully, it complains about vmnet0 and vmnet8 being unusable. Taking vmware out of the runlevel, reboot, configuring it, rebooting, starting vmware wasnt successful too. After getting knowledge of the new -r1 ebuild for vmware-wokstation, I cant emerge it at all, since I'm getting this error: emperor /usr/portage/distfiles # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge vmware-workstation Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.1.7568-r1 to / >>> Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/vmware-any-any-update69.tar.gz --04:33:11-- http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/vmware-any-any-update69.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/vmware-any-any-update69.tar.gz' Resolving gentoo.oregonstate.edu... 128.193.0.3 Connecting to gentoo.oregonstate.edu[128.193.0.3]:80... connected.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Unknown The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do. !!! Couldn't download vmware-any-any-update69.tar.gz. Aborting. Same problem as comment 3. vmware-any-any-update69.tar.gz on the servers is only 245183 bytes and the digest seems to expect a 1198080 byte file, which just happens to be the un-gzipped file size (and the hash in the digest also matches the .tar). A temporary solution would be to delete /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/files/digest-vmware-workstation-4.5.1.7568-r1 and run 'ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-4.5.1.7568-r1 digest' After this, 'emerge vmware-workstation' should work as expected. I'm sure this will be fixed in cvs Real Soon Now... Actually, it should already have been fixed... but if not, it is only because I forgot to commit it and will do so in the morning... As for love-sources, you're entirely on your own when you run a set of kernel sources made by a complete amateur who understands nothing about kernel internals and puts together patches that seem to work only because the patch applies cleanly without rejects. I would suggest switching to a kernel that is supported in Gentoo, as you will find that they work fine with VMware. *** Bug 53482 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry about that... I fixed it this morning... when I originally did the digest I hadn't realized that my browser had already un-gzipped the tarball... anyway, it is fixed now. *** Bug 53656 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
