    I have to admit defeat

    I hate to say this but I have never been so thoroughly defeated by a piece of software as vmware. It's a shame because they are adopting this at work and I could really do with getting my hands on it to learn how to administer it.

    Seems no matter what I do I arrive at a point where I am trying to log into the Web Access UI and get web service unavailable. I have followed every recommendation I can find on how to install it, the cleanest seeming to be here: -

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server

    At least it installs it without error.

    I have tried every variation I can think of on this install including accepting no user as the default but still end up with the same error.

    If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong I would be so grateful. This is stdout from the install: -

    of this EULA, VMware hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-
    transferable license, without rights to sublicense, to use the 
    object code of the Software for the purpose as set forth in the 
    applicable documentation for the Software and to the extent 
    permitted by your payment of applicable license fees under a VMware 
    approved licensing model and/or your Software License Key subject 
    to the software product specific terms specified in this EULA.  
    Depending upon the model utilized to compute the applicable license 
    fees paid by you to use the Software (whether per Processor, per 
    Virtual Machine, per user, or any other VMware approved licensing 
    model), an applicable Software License Key may limit your usage of 
    the Software accordingly.  You may use the documentation 
    accompanying the Software in connection with permitted uses of the 
    Software.  If the Software is a version that you have converted or 
    exchanged from a valid licensed prior version, you agree that by 
    using the Software you will no longer use the prior version.  
    VMware reserves the right to require the certification of the 
    destruction of such previous version of the Software.
    
    
    3.2	License Limitations.  You may not copy the Software except for a 
    reasonable number of machine-readable copies of the Software for 
    backup or archival purposes and except as expressly permitted in 
    this EULA.  You may not remove any titles, trademarks or trade 
    names, copyright notices, legends, or other proprietary markings on 
    the Software.  You are not granted any rights to any trademarks or 
    service marks of VMware.  VMware retains all rights not expressly 
    granted to you in this EULA.
    
    3.3	Restrictions.  You may not (i) sell, lease, license, sublicense, 
    distribute or otherwise transfer in whole or in part the Software 
    or the Software License Key to another party; (ii) provide, 
    disclose, divulge or make available to, or permit use of the 
    Software in whole or in part by, any third party (except Designated 
    Administrative Access) without VMware's prior written consent; or 
    (iii) modify or create derivative works based upon the Software.  
    Except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law, and to 
    the extent that VMware is not permitted by that applicable law to 
    exclude or limit the following rights, you may not decompile, 
    disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive 
    source code from the Software, in whole or in part.   You may use 
    the Software to conduct internal performance testing and 
    benchmarking studies, the results of which you (and not 
    unauthorized third parties) may publish or publicly disseminate; 
    provided that VMware has reviewed and approved of the methodology, 
    assumptions and other parameters of the study.  Please contact 
    VMware at benchmark@vmware.com to request such review.
    
    3.4	GPL Software. You can redistribute and/or modify the GPL Software 
    under the terms of the GPL.  You may obtain a copy of the source 
    code corresponding to the binaries for the GPL Software (the "GPL 
    Source Files") by downloading the GPL Source Files from VMware's 
    Web site at http://www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html, or by 
    sending a request, with your name and address, to Vmware at the 
    address specified under the heading "Contact Information" below, in 
    which case Vmware will mail a copy of the GPL Source Files to you 
    on a CD or equivalent physical medium.  This offer to obtain a copy 
    of the GPL Source Files is valid for three years from the date you 
    acquired this Software product.
    
    3.5	VMware Tools.  You may distribute the VMware Tools to any third 
    party provided that (i) you do not modify the VMware Tools; (ii) 
    you distribute the VMware Tools in object code format only and 
    solely in conjunction with, and as part of, the Virtual Machine you 
    create with the Software; (iii) you do not use VMware's name, logo 
    or trademarks to market the Virtual Machine you create with the 
    Software and (iv) you agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend 
    VMware from and against any claims or lawsuits, including 
    attorneys' fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution 
    of the Virtual Machine you create.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,

    INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, 
    WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR 
    OTHERWISE.  BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR 
    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE 
    PRECEDING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  VMWARE AND ITS LICENSORS' 
    LIABILITY UNDER THIS EULA WILL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, EXCEED THE LICENSE 
    FEES, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSED TO YOU UNDER THIS 
    EULA. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT 
    PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VMWARE OR ITS 
    LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND

    it waived, by a written document executed by the party against 
    which it is asserted.
    
    8.4	Severability.  If any provision of this EULA is found illegal or

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    Hi there,

    Can you try running the vmware.sh that is inside the tar attached to my post here. You just need to extract the tar and put in the same directory as the vmware.tar.gz.

    That should get it installed and (semi) functional.

    What version of Ubuntu are you using?

    Also: What browser are you using to access the web interface? Is there a firewall in place?

    Thanks for the prompt response

    Hi Charles thanks for that.

    I used your installer and it seemed to go without a hitch, the only difference being I used my UNIX account as the user rather than leaving it blank. I'll attach the screen output at the end of this.

    My version of Ubuntu is: -

    2.6.31-22-server

    I have Google Chrome and IE on my XP laptop, IE wont handle it but Chrome will get as far as displaying the login screen.

    I have Google Chrome and Firefox on my Ubuntu laptop. Trying Firefox I get the same problem, login prompt but then "web service unavailable".

    Is this something silly like I am jumping the gun? I think the next step is to login and start configuring things via the UI but never having used vmware I am not sure if I am missing some other step first.

    Thanks for the help with this, been at it every night for a week and have run out of hair to pull!

    Sorry forgot to mention I have Zonelabs installed on the XP machine, not aware of any firewall on the Ubuntu laptop or server.

    Re: Thanks for the prompt response

    Were all those warnings there when you tried to do the initial install?

    I wrote up that script to work with 10.04, but it should work with older versions, but I haven't tested it with them.

    Have you tried IE? I've had problems accessing the webUI using Firefox before.

    EDIT: I ran the install on an Ubuntu 10.04 VM and it seemed to work. I was able to access the WebUI even with those warnings during compiling.

    Note: I was using IE on WinXP.

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    Hi Charles

    My Ubuntu Laptop is running 10.04 but the server is running 64 bit server edition.

    uname -r gives 2.6.31-22-server

    Is that my problem I wonder, all of the how to's I have come across seem to refer to the desktop editions.

    My problem with trying to install as per the instructions in the documentation is that I get error messages saying modules won't compile. I think it was vmnet from memory.

    I ended up here because I was Googling the errors I was getting and they all seemed to suggest I needed the patch applied to the install.

    Yes the warnings have been present before, can't say I understand them. Searching around on the Web seems to suggest this is a kernel issue around a dependency-based boot order. Most people seem to think this is not a problem but I haven't found anything posted specific to installing vmware.

    Maybe I should try rebuilding the server with a different OS, maybe Red Hat or something.

    If anyone knows of a version of Linux Server vmware will definitely install on I would be glad to hear about it.

    I can't get IE to connect, keeps complaining about the certificate even when I add the site as a trusted exception.

    Thanks for the input

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    It's strange, 10.04 should be using kernel 2.6.32-34-server.

    Do you have anything important of the current server? You could wipe it and install 10.04.1 and then install vmware server using the stuff from the tar I posted.

    I've done that successfully.

    Just be sure to tell it to use your account during install, else it'll use root (which is locked in Ubuntu by default)

    As for IE: I just tell it to proceed anyway, and don't bother trying to add an exception.

    Here's what my uname -r says: 2.6.32-24-server

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    Hi Charles

    I cam across a note towards the bottom of this page: -

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server

    "If you are using the server edition then you also need to install the following 3 X libraries and their dependencies."

    libxtst6
    libxt6
    libxrender1

    Code:
    sudo aptitude install libxtst6 libxt6 libxrender1
    I did install these packages and the error changed to one saying I couldn't be authenticated and needed to contact the administrator.

    I then tried removing vmware and reinstalling it with these new packages in place and find that the installer won't run because it says the headers are no longer compatible with my running kernel.

    So I think I will rebuild it anyway as I must have chewed things up by now trying all of these different things out. Not tonight though as I am knackered.

    Am I right in saying that the user should be a local user on the server, not a domain user or anything? I have this server on my home network with no domain defined.

    10.04.1? I will try to find a download and install it.

    Thanks for all this help

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    Interesting. I didn't know that.

    When you installed vmware did you enter your username to be allowed access? Otherwise it'll use root, which is locked, meaning you can't authenticate using root.

    The user you want is someone on the local machine. I use my own user account

    So when it asked for:

    Code:
    Please specify the user whom you wish to be the VMware Server administrator
    Just specify your username.

    Re: I have to admit defeat

    Yes it is buried quite far down the page.

    I guess it used to be near the top. The page looks like it has had amendments added to the top as new releases have come along.

    I don't know who maintains that page but it would be better to add a prereqs section for server edition near the top I think.

    I am now looking for the right build to download for an Intel 64bit CPU and will rebuild it over the weekend.

    Cheers

    You'd use Ubuntu Server x64:
