After updating my kernel, VMWare server stopped working.
In #ubuntu, the user "NoUse" mentioned running vmware-config.pl.
When running that, I got:
Code:
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.
Then I realized I need to rerun one of the original commands from the first post:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd
It told me xinetd and build-essential were already up-to-date but would download linux-headers-2.6.15-25_2.6.15-25.43 and linux-headers-2.6.15-25-386_2.6.15-25.43 and install them.
Then, I reran vmware-config.pl (accepting all the defaults, as I did when I first installed the server) and all is well!
So, in summary, if you upgrade your kernel, be sure to open a terminal and:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo vmware-config.pl
Then vmware should be up and running as usual!
