Getting VMware Workstation 6.5 to work on AMD64 Ubuntu 9.04

February 13th, 2009 beezly No comments

If you get a segfault when trying to start vmware on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) you can fix the problem by moving /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary to somewhere else (binary.old) will do.

The included 64 bit binaries cause vmware to segfault when starting up.

Good luck!

@markfranklin69 @neilyc speak with Dominic about the date. Essentially we can decide it. Our gut feeling is to increase the freq to 3 months http://twitter.com/beezly 2010/09/02
@neilyc it's up to us to decide. http://twitter.com/beezly 2010/09/02
