Re: Community testing plan
VMWare Server was working in Edgy. I upgraded to Feisty by running this.
Code:
gksu 'update-manager -d'
Now the VMWare Server module will not compile.
Code:
chris@ubuntu:~$ vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
chris@ubuntu:~$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Re: Community testing plan
First try sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade again - see if the new vmware-server-kernel modules comes along. If they don't download 'vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-10_2.6.20.3-10.9_i386.deb' from
http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubunt...modules-2.6.20
and install with:
sudo dpkg -i vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-10_2.6.20.3-10.9_i386.deb
Worked for me on Feisty Herd4, kernel 2.6.20-10.
Re: Community testing plan
The OpenOffice.org suite don't works. Its just open and close when I invoke.:confused:
Any solution?:)
Re: Community testing plan
Please, stay on topic.
If you have a question, start a new thread.
Re: Community testing plan
From the 10-11 email responses we are getting so far (thanks everyone!) it seems that Ubuntu manual partitioning is by far the most popular. I guess this is because people are installing it on systems with other OSes and prefer not to wipe the disk? Perhaps erase and auto-resize could be done on vmware?
I'm coordinating the results on this page and have put up a short FAQ. The full test matrix with the devel team testers is here (CT is community testing; there is room for community growth!)

Yes, I will be using VMware player to assist with some of the tests. It is free as in beer btw.

That is great news. Without receiving a reply to my offer to help testing I was left wondering if you had received it.

Re: Community testing plan
Hi jt,
Was that using ubuntu or Kubuntu? Odd that you didn't get an automated crash report upload for the crash in 92533. It doesn't have enough information to fix it as it now stands. See info on uploading log files.
92531 also needs more information.
Btw, I'm locking this sticky thread. Let's continue elsewhere.
