Bug Description
Hello Friends,
I m getting trouble in running vmware server 1.0 and it fails to sart after getting distribution update from
ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu 7.10
In ubuntu 7.04 vmware server 1.0 was working well and running virtual PC's with full compatibility
But after having distribution upgrade it crashed and failed to load vmware server gui and console both ,
My current distribution is :
root@SecureStat
Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
Out put of vmware server is :
root@SecureStat
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/
After getting re-configure i m getting following errors :
root@SecureStat
