VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 Installer hangs

31 March 2010 The installation of VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle at Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 hangs. Therefore do pre(terminal). $ sudo -i $ while true; do killall -9 vmware-modconfig-console; sleep 1; done In a second console do pre(terminal). $ sudo ./VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle --ignore-errors If you get some errors, that you do not have sufficient rights, do pre(terminal). $ sudo rm /etc/vmware/not_configured $ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all $ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

NO COMMENT BOX

Right, not here. But it doesn’t mean I’m not interested in your feedback. I just prefer to use more busy services ;-) where a wider discussion could incur. So tweet me @netzfisch or if you find an error, fork my blog, correct the post and send me a pull request via GitHub. Thanks for your efforts.
