2.4.0-test12-pre5 breaks vmware (again)
Quoted 7 lines · Tigran Aivazian
In case you haven't noticed yet -- the 'features' field of
/proc/cpuinfohas been changed again so vmware won't run anymore. The fix is just as obvious as the previous one -- to change/usr/bin/vmware-config.plscript from grepping for 'features' to grep for 'flags'. I think 'flags' is what it used to be called ages ago but that is irrelevant -- everyone presumably already changed all their software to use 'features' (I did, for example) and forgot about the old 'flags' forever....
Blessed vmware-config.pl contains
\(flags\|features\).*
so it should run...
