Problemas para fazer com que o VMware Server funcione no Ubuntu 9.10

Question

Estou tentando fazer com que o VMware Server 2.0.2 (versão de 64 bits) funcione na minha estação de trabalho do Ubuntu.

No entanto, o script de instalação ( $ sudo ./vmware-install.pl ) tem problemas com os módulos do kernel:

[...]

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/build/include] 

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

Estou perdendo alguns pacotes obrigatórios? Alguma outra ideia?

Este é o Ubuntu 9.10 de 64 bits (Karmic Koala). uname -a retorna Linux hostname 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux .

Editar : Trabalhando com o VMware Server 2.0.2 . No entanto, se você tiver algumas dicas sobre como fazer com que o VMware Server 1.0.x funcione com o Ubuntu facilmente (sem ter que compilar o kernel inteiro, por exemplo), compartilhe também! Minha primeira impressão é que eu não gosto de 2.0, e prefiro usar 1.0.x se eu conseguisse trabalhar.

    

Answer 1

Parece que funcionou, com conselhos de link

1. Faça o seguinte: link e untar isso. (Isso é para 2.0.1, mas isso não parece importar.)

2. Executar sudo sh vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.sh

   NB: Se você tiver o VMware libs instalado em algum lugar diferente de / usr / lib / (por exemplo, / usr / local / lib), será necessário corrigir manualmente alguns caminhos nesse script.

3. Então, como o script sugeriu, sudo vmware-config.pl -d

Isso finalizou a configuração:

[...]

The configuration of VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138 for Linux for this 
running kernel completed successfully.

A execução de vmware agora inicia a interface do usuário da web no link .

(Agora, o VMware 2.0 parece totalmente estranho, e eu realmente não sei como acessar / usar a interface web, mas isso é outra história ... Na verdade, se alguém souber de um fácil maneira de obter o VMware Server 1.0.10 para funcionar com o Ubuntu mais recente, eu também gostaria de saber!)

Atualizar

Eu desisti completamente de usar o VMware Server, já que ele não é mais suportado e é cada vez mais difícil fazê-lo funcionar nas versões modernas do Ubuntu. Se você precisar criar & executar máquinas virtuais do Windows, confira esta pergunta no Ask Ubuntu para formas alternativas.
