Not working in jaunty x64

[johnnydement]

Hi,

I'm thinking on using vmware instead of virtualbox, and installed the trial on a fresh jaunty x64 install.

It installed well, my links are in app menu, but only the virtual network one works, the other 2, "Vmware player" and "Vmware Workstation" start, but they kill themselved...

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the VMware forums!

Jaunty is very new and has not yet been certified to work with VMware workstation.

Having said that, I'm sure there are people in here that have it running under Jaunty.

In order to diagnose your problem, please start workstation from a terminal and type:

/usr/bin/vmware

Tell us the error message (if there is one) from where it fails.

edit: You can also try to run as root

gksudo /usr/bin/vmware

if the first one doesn't work.

Same problem when running as root

Thanks!

Hi,

Well the problem is that your modules fail to build. Maybe it will work if you try to run the module building process directly:

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

If not, then hopefully it gives us some more info.

You might have to run this as root (preceed the previous command with sudo)
