Canno't Install Vmware Workstation 7 on Ubuntu 10.04

[edmac]

Hello All,

I am a new to Ubuntu forum and also new to Ubuntu. I am in the process of installing vmware workstation 7.01 and am getting the same errors. I tried using the same installation options mentioned above. My error is 108: Syntax error: newline expected. I am trying to install from download directory. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You download the newest version in vmware website. It's work fine in ubuntu 10.04.
Older version vmware can not install in ubuntu 10.04. I tried to install before it appeared the same error....

Good luck!

I'm getting the following error when attempting to install VMWare-Workstation-7.1.1-282343.bundle from Ubuntu 10.04. I'm running the following command "sudo sh "./VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.1-282343.i386.bundle" and I get the following error message: "./VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.1-282343.i386.bundle: 110: Syntax error: newline unexpected".

I'm not sure if this some error in the latest build of VMware Workstation or not - I'm sort of a noob when it comes to *nix based operating system.

Why are you using quotes in the command?

LOL - I didn't - The issue was that I was using the "Download Manager" to download the software from VMWare's website. You need to use the direct link vs the download manager.

You can download this patch and run it: http://www.sputnick-area.net/scripts...el-2.6.35.bash

After this, I was able to install VMware Workstation 7.1.2

(if you need a guide, you can use this one: http://pario.no/2010/10/02/installin...-ubuntu-10-10/ )

Hope this works for you.

Um... Ubuntu 10.04 uses Linux 2.6.32 (although it is possible to get it running on Linux 2.6.35)

Unless the OP compiled Linux 2.6.35 on their Ubuntu 10.04 installation and uses that instead of Linux 2.6.32, that bash script isn't going to help much.

Sorry, my mistake.

I mixed things up here. I thought you were using Ubuntu 10.10

But as you said, you can use kernel 2.6.35
