    Re: HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server

    Hey wasup. I've been using dapperdrake for a couple months now and I tried installing vmplayer through synaptic. it hit errors saying the vmnet module wasnt installed blah blah blah.

    so I tried following the instructions in the first post. went great unti...

    "Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".

    Execution aborted."

    ARGH what? (I was logged in as root how the heck do I not have access rights to that file??)

    I tried sudo first then when it said that I tried "su -" then running the installer and it gave the same error.


    sorry if this question was asked already, I wasn't about to look through 80 pages lol.

    thanks in advance.

    Manifying blib/man3/VMware::VmPerl::ConnectParams.3pm
    make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/control-only'
    make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/control-only'
    mkdir /usr/local/man: File exists at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112
    make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 17
    make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/control-only'

    Well then execute the command as a user who does have the permissions then...

    Code:
    sudo rm -rf /etc/vmware

    No worries...

    Have a read of this info about the sudo command. It is very powerful, and you can potentially get into a bit of trouble if you use it incorrectly;

    Re: HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server

    I carefully followed all of the instructions to install vmware and it sucsessfully installed according to the terminal. It shows up in my applications menu but when I click on the icon to run it, it just says....Failed to execute child process"vmware" (no such file or directory)

    When I try to run it by typing vmware in the terminal, it say this.....bash: vmware: command not found.

    Any ideas how to fix this??

    Re: HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server

    nevermind guys i figured out whats wrong

    there is actually a bug in the installer it calls for vmware-vix/bin but this doesn't exist in the tarball, but vmware-vix./bin does.

    to get around this without editing the perl script to the firs question install the binaries to:

    "/wherever/wherever/bin" (mine are in /home/chris/vmware/bin instead of /home/chris/vmware without the "/bin" you'll get the error I was getting.
