Hi, I tried installing vmware ..but i some promlems in it i cud not able to complete the installation !! this is what i did... sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd it installed some packages and then prompted me to do this.. "Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter" so i inserted the disc(mine was i486) and pressed enter it showed 99%[working] and after few secs again showed the same prompt to insert the cd.so i justt pressed ctrl+C !!!!(stopped) then did.. sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 then downloaded the vmware software from http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ extracted the folder to /tmp then i did.. cd /tmp cd vmware-server-distrib export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 till here everything was okay..then when i did .. sudo ./vmware-install.pl it asked the location for all files and folders to be instaled i accepted the default one's but finally it says..... "Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin". Execution aborted." but i cant see the bin inside the folder ./vmware-vix (tried ls -a ./vmware-vix) !!!! PLease help me!!
Hiya I don't know what is required to run the vmware in breezy... have you considered using dapper or edgy? It works fine there... Regarding the cd-rom: If I were you I would comment out the cd-rom as apt source.
OKay...i have two seperate machines , a windows machine and a linux machin i want to access ,copy files /folders from my windows machine i have installde samba but if i type smb://192.169.0.4/ i can see all the shared folders of my windows machine as a links but i want to copy them into my linux machine and also run my php scripts which are present in windows www folder. how can i do this. Basically like acces network computers in windows from linux machine.
Vmware : server is a lot harder and more evil to install i found it was killer to install on fedora / centos / suse i gave up due to the number of errors but maybe over the weekend i will look at it again just maybe
i got Vmware server to install in Ubuntu ver 6.06 : i dont have ver 5 of Ubuntu But ... i guess its almost the same way i found i needed the make xinetd gcc ( i copyed over the gcc folder from the ver 6.06 server cd ) and install them than run the vmware server intall and it went < ATM : its just installed : i got the program to load up .. so far thats it >
What you need on Dapper and Edgy to install vmware server is the following: Code: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd gcc-3.4 I don't know about Breezy.... well, and I haven't succeeded yet getting VmWare to run on Feisty... that's what still keeping me from using it...
We have a tutorial for VMware server on Ubuntu 6.06: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server And this one is for Debian Sarge: http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_sarge_vmware_server_howto
