VMWare Server from AUR freezing

jmags · 2006-10-24 20:33:50

So I downloaded and installed the VMWare Package from the AUR. It loads without problems, but when I try to connect to the local host in the initial dialog box, the program freezes completely. There were no errors during the configuration, so I don't know what's going on.

vmware-authd uses tcp-wrappers...so...
make sure you add the following to hosts.allow

vmware-authd: 127.0.

Unless you have hosts.allow populated with

ALL: 127.0.

Which I do... then the previous line is not needed for localhost connectivity.

Hope that helps.

Alas, that does not fix the problem.

check the vmware logfiles. make sure that vmware server is actually running, and that there are no errors in the logs.

Where is it? I find a vmware folder in /var/log, but it's empty.

it shouldn't be empty..hmm...
you installed vmware-server, ran the configuration script, and then started the daemon?

Let's see: I added it to Pacman, put the vmware daemon in my rc.conf, restarted and ran /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl/
