[Leaplist] why do i have to reinstall vmware-server every time

[David Simmons]

>> I reboot, or logout of my GUI?

ok....while you did
give alot of info - you didn't say what's really needed.

Your
best bet is to read through the logs....you'll find them at:

/var/log/vmware

probably want to look mostly at the
'vmware-serverd.log'

Also, you didn't mention how you're
shutting down before exiting the GUI?....are you leaving the Guest OS'
running?  You can check by going to the command line and doing:

vmrun list

That'll tell you which Guest OS' are
currently running.....before rebooting the machine (Host) - you should
make sure that no guests are running.  Do a 'man vmrun' to get more
info about this tool....it'll help you start and stop Guest's without
using the GUI.

If you have shutdown / restarted the Host
Machine while the Guests were running.....you'll see a variety of
*.READLOCK   and maybe some *.MULTILOCK files in your Virtual
Machine's directories - you'll need to delete them before the guest will
restart.

Let me know if any of the above do the trick.
