MX Linux Forum

HI,

New to the forums.

I have just come around to Antix, and am really enjoying it.

I am a relative Linux newbie, but am beginning to get some of linux ;-)

I have previously been using some ubuntu derived distros, so forgive my naiveness about Antix.

I have tried to search the forum but could not find any answer to my question, which is this.

I wanted to try Vmware workstation Pro.

I downloaded the Bundle.

Manged to execute and run in it the terminal- it said installation successful.

I then went through the VMware installation screens- fine- until I got to the final page where I need to click ''finish''.

The install refuses to go beyond this?, and will not continue.?

The same with VMware player.

I have redownloaded the bundle several bundles, in case of corruption, but I get the same result

I am stumped- anybody any ideas?

Many Thanks

It could be that VmWare products expect Debian distros to be running System D, and it can't install and start its services using MX's shims.

Just a guess.
