stuff XP I just installed Mac OSX in mine
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!!
This VMware works great I think it runs good so far at first a little jerky but now it is awsom it works fine I bet you could run a game I will try later feel free to E-Mail I can tell you if it worked or you can try it your self...
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
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.
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

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?
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...
I get...Code:sudo tar -xf VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz
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?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/lib/perl5/man/man3/XML\:\:Parser\:\:Expat.3.gz: Cannot open: Invalid argument tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/perl5/man/man3/XML\:\:Sablotron.3.gz: Cannot open: Invalid argument tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpam.so: Cannot create symlink to `libpam.so.0.81.2': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpam.so.0: Cannot create symlink to `libpam.so.0.81.2': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpam_misc.so: Cannot create symlink to `libpam_misc.so.0.81.2': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpam_misc.so.0: Cannot create symlink to `libpam_misc.so.0.81.2': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpamc.so: Cannot create symlink to `libpamc.so.0.81.0': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/libpamc.so.0: Cannot create symlink to `libpamc.so.0.81.0': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so: Cannot create symlink to `pam_unix.so': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so: Cannot create symlink to `pam_unix.so': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_passwd.so: Cannot create symlink to `pam_unix.so': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/lib/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_session.so: Cannot create symlink to `pam_unix.so': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/vmware-vix/lib/libvmware-vix.so.0: Cannot create symlink to `libvmware-vix.so.0.0.0': Operation not permitted tar: vmware-server-distrib/vmware-vix/lib/libvmware-vix.so: Cannot create symlink to `libvmware-vix.so.0': Operation not permitted 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
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?
