    Can somebody help a seriously new Linux user out?

    I followed the guide step-by-step and was told it installed correctly. When I go into applications to open it, I get an error. It seems from searching this thread, the error has happened to other people, but I can't seem to see where the resolution is. Here's the error:

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

    When trying to launch from Applications menu and get a "command not found when I do "vmware" from terminal.

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

    I am about to go nuts with this install. I have not been able to get it to work for whatever unknown reason. How can I completely remove every trace of vmware server so I can start over again? Is there a script or something to do this?

    Hi. I am trying to install Vmware Server. I have followed the installation process, but I am getting an error.

    In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
    [/home/money/doc/vmware]

    The path "/home/money/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.

    What should I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    bit late i know.. catching up on thread..
    i got rid of this by including all of the partitions in the selector.. seems like otherwise grub can't see some of its partition options and throws a wobbler..
    thing is now i've got all kind of partition errors which i can't read cos it scrolls too fast

    me too.. any way of stalling it so that we can at least read it.. i have an acer with an auto repair partition thingy.. i was wondering if that was causing trouble..

    To those having touble installing vmware server, specifically those installing to their home directories..
    My experience is that it's easier for we beginner's to install not in the home directory, but follow the default locations. That way you don't have problems with faulty links or permissions. I too installed to my home directory; I did get it installed but then couldn't start vmware console up, kdeinit couldn't find the executable!
    Installing to default locations cured this for me.

    Good luck!

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

    I've trawled this thread but can't see a reference to my problem - I have three additional users on my Ubuntu PC, all of whom require WinXP access via VMware server - they have no problem accessing the VMware application but do not have the permissions to access the *.vmx file - what's the best way to go about this?

    (VM's in /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines)

    Best Regards and thanks for the HowTo.

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

    I'm lost. It seems to me that when I was running vmware player once before, I set up the tools, but I can't find anything about vmware tools for the player. Is there a way to load the tools for the player?
