    A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.

    The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 3).

    Paul,

    I also had this problem and decided to remove my previous VMWare version but you need to mark it for COMPLETE removal. Then run the script found here and follow the instructions. It should work now, at least it did for me.

    altonbr, you are a master !

    Thanks a lot for this script that was perfect for me.

    I had already installed a VMWare server, but it wasn't running anymore due to recent changes (automatic update I guess ...).

    I just ran the script, and it was back and running.

    Re: HOWTO: Install VMware Server in Hardy (and later)

    The script seemed to complete successfully without any errors, but when I click on the "VMWare Server Console" from the Applications menu, nothing appears.

    When I try to run "vmware" or "sudo vmware" from a console I get the following:

    Code:
    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.

    I am running x86 on Hardy (8.04) with kernel version 2..6.24-17-generic

    Pastebin install log here

    Please help! I don't want to convert to using VirtualBox....

    Sue,

    thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now I've got my VMWare Server back up and running on Hardy.

    @altonbr:

    Thank you for sharing this great script!

    Well, I have solved my problem using this thread.

    1. Bridged networking on eth0 failed to start.
    Code:
    Starting VMware services:
       Virtual machine monitor                                             done
       Virtual ethernet                                                    done
       Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0                                  failed
       Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2                                   done
       Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background)                    done
       NAT service on /dev/vmnet8                                          done
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

    2. Config Prompt

    Problem:
    Code:
    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.
    Solution:
    Code:
    sudo mv /etc/vmware/not_configured /etc/vmware/not_configured_backup

    @everyone:
    Thank you for all of your wonderful compliments!

    @brianafischer:
    I'll have to look into this issue, thank you. It seems to be the only issue that now comes up for people when running my script. I'll have to add some better detection in there, thank you.

    Exclamation Re: HOWTO: Install VMware Server in Hardy (and later)

    Just a note:

    VMware Server 1.0.6
    and,
    VMware-any-any-patch-117a

    are out, but I won't add them to my script until I've fully tested them.

    Re: HOWTO: Install VMware Server in Hardy (and later)

    I need a hand, your script worked BEAUTIFULLY except it wouldn't accept my serial number. So i just skipped that part. I went to enter it from the VMWare werver window and got an error (visible in the screenshot below) can you please give me a hand??

    Code:
    Type XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or 'Enter' to cancel:  9AH05-YDX6P-1E291-48Q15
    
    The serial number 9AH05-YDX6P-1E291-48Q15 is invalid.
    ^This is the error I get when running your helpful script

    EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it! For anyone else who has this problem just go into terminal and type:
    Code:
    gksudo vmware
    then enter your serial number.
