I needed to re-install vmware server 2.0.2 this evening but the installation failed when trying to install smeserver-vmware-server
I could not find smeserver-vmware-server in the contribs repository
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=smecontribs list available
Many Thanks
-
Same here. I also needed that package again and find that it is not available any longer in the repositories.
Don't know why this has been removed?

According to bug 6607 the file is now in the devs repository (Thanks Jonathan)
yum install smeserver-vmware-server --enablerep=smedev
Could someone please update the Vmware Contrib instructions.
Incidentally, tried searching forums before raising bug but could not find anything.

Still cannot find smeserver-vmware-server

Go to the link I posted above and download it. Pretty easy.

It's there, see below. You might have a typo (?). You had one earlier "--enablerepo=smedev"
yum list smeserver-vmware-server --enablerepo=smedev
.. cut ..

Just installed sme8B6 and tried that, but sme still can't find smeserver-vmware-server. I can manually download it, but than I miss the dependencies.
This is what I did. Did I miss something?

Then you should not post it in the SME 7.x contribs forum. Please adhere to the forums topic and description in the future please.

There is no smeserver-vmware-server package for SME Server 8 (yet). You might have some luck by using the SME Server 7 package. You will also have to enable smedev from SME Server 7.x I think, analog as done with smecontribs following http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup .
I have not tested this, so no warranties what so ever. :-)

Oeps, thought I was in the SME8 forum.....
I'm gonna try that, it's on a test server. Thanks for your help

Found it:
Workarounds
Contribs that sort of work, but need improvement
smeserver-vmware
The contrib introduces a dependency that cannot be resolved. This dependency is not necessary for sme8. Download vmware-server 2.02 and obtain a license key (you need this during installation in vmware-config.pl).
yum install xinetd
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm
configure vmware:
vmware-config.pl
and set vmware to autostart and reboot:
ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Watch the console for a correct start of vmware services. Features like maintenance from external networks, vmware configuration db commands described in the contrib vmware do not work. Use
/etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart
to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .
No warranties, Happy VM-ing!

to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .
Really? Can't you just set the service to disabled with something like this:
db configuration setprop vmwared status disabled
I am not sure what key vmware is under, my guess is vmwared, but you will need to check that before using the above.
