I’ve also found that when I cut and paste the – it is sometimes an “em” dash and sometimes an “en” dash. They are different characters but look almost identical. Messed me up on the start up parameters of a WebSphere server one time.

Comment on Hardware virtualization supported but no vmx or svm flag? by David Sanger

How did this get by QC? Linux is supposed to be all about transparency and openness giving those of us who troubleshoot for a living a clue. Please, vendors, let’s NOT turn the kernel into another “user friendly” mask-complexity-for-the-masses debacle. IT is littered with examples already. Just today I had need to troubleshoot based on these flags being available. Noticed they were not (CentOS 6, Scientific 6, RHEL 6) all 2.6.32.x kernels. If a “guest admin” shoots themselves in the foot–good. If they’re paying attention they might learn something.

Excellent!
This did the trick, now my VMware 7 is working again on Centos.
Thanks very much

Thanks so much! Worked like a charm. I don’t know why I pay VMware for their products when they rely on other people (like yourself) to get their stuff to work on “supported” platforms. Qemu is looking like a better and better alternative…

Comment on gnome login shows all valid user accounts — disable it by sabuj pattanayek

Try this as root :

gconftool-2 –direct –config-source=`gconftool-2 –get-default-source` –set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list –type bool TRUE

It worked through a init 3 && init 5 . Check after a gdm update though.

I tried this and each time the user list keeps coming back. This is with RHEL 6. Very frustrating. I need this user list to simply go away.

Hi all, I had too many challenges with getting VMWare Player 3.x to work on my RHEL Workstation 6.1, so as soon as VMWare Player 4 came out, I downloaded it and was able to install it without any probs. It is working fine so far.

As a host. The latest VMware Workstation 8 seems to have added support for RHEL-6 but I see it only for a guest OS.

Does this problem occur when running it as a host or guest
