VMware Workstation 6.5.3 On Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
People running VMware Workstation 6.5.3 on Intrepid or Jaunty may be in for an unpleasant surprise when upgrading to Karmic — it doesn’t work! If you run the installer, it hangs while configuring VMware Player of all things.
Fortunately, the community is already on the case, and until VMware ships an official update, aldeby.org provides these helpful instructions. Perfect!
Quick summary:
* In one terminal, run: while true; do sudo killall -9 vmware-modconfig-console; sleep 1; done
* In a second terminal, run: sudo ./VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle --ignore-errors
* Kill loop in first terminal.
* Run: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
* Edit /etc/vmware/bootstrap to add the line: VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force
* If you have ~/.vmware/config, make sure the xkeymap.nokeycodeMap is commented out (previous keymap fix for Vmware/Intrepid).
