Hi,
I was fighting with this one too and I found a (kind of ugly) solution:
The problem seems to be, that there is an error within the version verification part of the script.
Since I couldn't resolve it, I just commented out the relevant lines:
#! /bin/bash
# VMWare Workstation/Player _host kernel modules_ patcher v0.6.2 by ©2010 Artem S. Tashkinov
# Tailored and fixed vmblock patching for the 2.6.39 patch by Stefano Angeleri (weltall)
# Use at your own risk.
fpatch=vmware3.2.0.patch
vmreqver=8.0.2
plreqver=4.0.2
error()
{
echo "$*. Exiting"
exit
}
curdir=`pwd`
bdate=`date "+%F-%H:%M:%S"` || error "date utility didn't quite work. Hm"
vmver=`vmware-installer -l 2>/dev/null | awk '/vmware-/{print $1substr($2,1,5)}'`
vmver="${vmver#vmware-}"
basedir=/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
ptoken="$basedir/.patched"
bkupdir="$basedir-$vmver-$bdate-backup"
unset product
[ -z "$vmver" ] && error "VMWare is not installed (properly) on this PC"
#[ "$vmver" == "workstation$vmreqver" ] && product="VMWare WorkStation"
#[ "$vmver" == "player$plreqver" ] && product="VMWare Player"
[ -z "$product" ] && error "Sorry, this script is only for VMWare WorkStation $vmreqver or VMWare Player $plreqver"
- so open the script in an editor
- scroll down to line 27 and 28
- add "#" at the beginning of both lines
- save the script
- try to run the script
Hopefully this should disable the version check.
Good luck!
Raeb
