Guys,please,how to solve this?


First time after instaling vmware 8 on sabayon 7 kde vmware worked perfect. After restarting my laptop I got this message: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

What is going on?

Please help.

Don't use VMware myself. Google? Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. modprobe vmmon?

I had this issue and found a fix.
Run this as root:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/vmware start

Of course we need to be able to run this on every reboot, is there some way we can automate this?
I am sure there is, I just don't know how.

n3wu53r, I think you are looking for:
(as root)

Code: Select all

rc-update add vmware default


For more informations see:

Code: Select all

man rc-update
