Da quando ho aggiornato un server Ubuntu 7.10 a 8.04 Hardy Heron LTS VMware 1.0.5 non funziona più.
Dopo un po’ di ricerche ho trovato questa soluzione, combinando i contributi di
http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04
e
Prerequisito è l’installazione degli header del kernel 2.6.24:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-server
Poi l’installazione di una patch che a sua volta lancerà la riconfigurazione di vmware-server:
wget http://blog.creonfx.com/temp/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
tar -xzvf vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
cd vmware-any-any-update116/
sudo ./runme.pl
Sul mio PC poi, dopo l’analogo aggiornamento, la vmware console non partiva più:

Su http://www.cybertek.it/vmware-server-console-vs-ubuntu-hardy-herron/ ho trovato questa soluzione. Basta lanciare da terminale questi due comandi:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0
sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
