Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and vmware server 2.0.x / Firefox 3.5.7

After upgrading from my Ubuntu 8.10 to new and excellent Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.7 i found some problem with my vmWare Server 2.0, the script “sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl” won’t run.

To configure vmware we need to add a patch to our system like this :

wget  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz

tar xvzf vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz

tar xvzf vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz

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

after this i was able to run the vmware config script

sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

the original article where i found this information :
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-0-x-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html

Now All function well on my System…

bye
