Description Thomas van Kampen 2006-01-04 00:27:08 UTC

If you first run vmware-config.pl and it fails for some reason (there was something wrong with my kernel sources) the vmware daemon was stopped and the modules removed. If you try to run the vmware-config.pl script again, you get the error:

Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

 * ERROR:  "vmware" has not yet been started.
Unable to stop services for VMware Workstation

Execution aborted.

You can't start 'vmware' with /etc/init.d/vmware start because you then get the error:

 * VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
 * for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
 * following command: /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl.
 * VMware is not properly configured! See above.                                     [ !! ]
