VMware Workstation 8.0.4 en Ubuntu 12.04 11

Con la nueva actualización que apareció ayer, volvi a encontrarme con el problema de que no puedo instalar los modulos de VMware Workstation 8.0.4 para Xubuntu 12.04. He modificado el parche para que VMware 8.0 sea compatible con kernel 3.2.0

Lo que he hecho es cambiar las versiones requeridas por el parche asi como eliminar un archivo de bloqueo que existe que impide su aplicación de forma trivial.

Probado hace 10 minutos y funcionando correctamente. Recordad actualizar las vmware tools de vuestros guest OS.

All done, you can now run VMWare WorkStation.
Modules sources backup can be found in the '/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-workstation8.0.4-2012-06-15-08:05:40-backup' directory

Asi de sencillo. Si por el motivo que sea quieres recuperar los sources originales de los módulos, puedes encontrarlos en el formato .tar original en el directorio de backup que indica tras finalizar la ejecución. Esto te permitirá volver a aplicar el parche también.

  Necesitas instalar “patch”

Una consulta yo aplique el parche y el vmware wokstation funciona bien pero todas las veces que lo inicio me pide que acepte el contrato y no me guarda ninguna configuracion, que podria ser. Saludos, muy bueno el blog

  Creo que puede tener que ver con tema de permisos. Es posible que algun archivo que fuese creado como root estés intentando modificarlo al aceptar la licencia con tu usuario normal y nunca llegue a escribirse el cambio que determina que has leido la licencia. Cosas similares he visto en otras ocasiones.

Una consulta, yo instale el vmware workstation 8.0.4 y el parche, pero cuando lo inicio me pide siempre que acepte el contrato y no me guarda la configuración. Tenes idea que podría ser. Desde ya muchas gracias y excelente el blog. Saludos

i have mint 13 with kernel 3.2.0, and already install workstation 8.0.4 with this patch, but it doesn’t work. still have de error when try to compile
- Reply javierin ago 13, 2012 8:30
  
  I’m afraid you are the only one with this problem. Perhaps there’s something mint specific that blocks it from compiling.
