And, when i run apt, this error is shown: root@Pheze54:/home/heze54# apt-get upgrade Leyendo lista de paquetes... Hecho Creando árbol de dependencias Leyendo información de estado... Hecho E: El paquete vmware-server necesita ser reinstalado, pero no se encuentra un archivo para éste. But i can not to reinstall it not using tar.gz not using rpm... what can I do? best regards heze54
rpm is a command for RedHat and Redhat derivatives like CentOSand Fedora, apt-get is for Debian and Debian alikes (xUbuntu). It seems to me that your mixing OS distributions, which almost always results in errors. For VMWare on Ubuntu I think you need to build from the sources or pick the correct .deb. I've done it already couple of times past weeks for test purposes, works nicely on the server version of Ubuntu, less optimal on the Desktop version. But anyway, use the right version.
re Hi, now, I only need to restore my apt command.... remove vmware-server-player or anything...but I can not. what can i do? heze54
There's a visual shell around apt that might help you, called Code: dselect You can search through package names and select to install, de-install or put hem on 'hold'. Maybe this helps?
mine dosent have any listed right now but pick the not installed resedule under status button and make sure to completely remove any packages that are left over form last install. then restart ystem <some thing may still be running in memory> and try again
