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

    I just followed the guide, and got this:

    The path "/home/karl/doc/vmware" does not exist currently. This program is
    going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
    [yes]

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

    Execution aborted.

    karl@karl-desktop:/tmp/vmware-server-distrib$

    any ideas?

    I had the same error message and found the answer in the forums of vmware
    www.vmware.com/community
    When you were asked where you wanted to install the binary files, you appear to have given your home directory /home/karl/ if I remember correctly you have to make that /home/karl/bin

    Check out the vmware forum and good luck, there are possible more surprises in store!!

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

    I just finished installing the vmware server, the installation couldn't have been easier, everything as far as i could tell went off without a hitch. however, when i try to open it from system tools it get:

    Could not launch menu item

    Details: Failed to execute child process "vmware" (No such file or directory)

    any idea where i went wrong and how i can fix it,

    thanks in advance

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

    Has anyone had any success in installing VMServer in Ubuntu 64-bit? I've tried but I cannot get past this message when I try to boot:

    Will not boot:

    Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error:
    /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    End of error message.

    Please could someone publish some advice on getting VMWare Server working in 64-bit ubuntu.

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

    I managed to install vmware server on kubuntu 6.06 however I cannot launch it via K-system-Vmware server console.

    I get the following error message, KDEinit could not launch vmware: could not find vmware executable.

    I have also tried via the command line using sudo vmware, the reply is command not found.

    I installed vmware to my home directory /home/fiona/vmware

    total 28
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-08-27 11:20 bin
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-08-26 19:33 doc
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-08-26 19:33 include

    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-08-26 19:33 share

    Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

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

    First I tried using archive manager to extract the files, and noticed the installation file was missing, so I went for the command line.

    If I run tar as normal user, then ALL files I'll say "cannot utimeperation not permitted". Weird...

    Code:
    sudo tar -xf VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz
    I get...

    Code:
    tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/perl5/man/man3/XML\:\:DOM.3.gz: Cannot open: Invalid argument
    tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/perl5/man/man3/XML\:\:Parser.3.gz: Cannot open: Invalid argument

    tar: vmware-server-distrib/vmware-install.pl: Cannot create symlink to `bin/vmware-uninstall.pl': Operation not permitted
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
    I still get "operation not permitted" for some files, but with completely different error. Ok, so I guess this superuser is not that super. What do you guys reckon? Should I recklessly disregard the invalid arguments, create the symlinks by hand and proceed?

    PS: This is clearly an issue with tar, but since it came up while trying to follow the HOWTO, please bear with me if I seem a bit off topic..

    Did someone try to play games using Windows under vmware? Does someone know if I can play lineage2 using vmware and Windows XP?
