Install VMware Workstation8.0.3 on Ubuntu

Ubuntu installs VMware Workstation8.0.3 because there are few people using Ubuntu and there is little information about Ubuntu on the Internet. I encountered a problem when installing VMware Workstation, first, there is little online content about Ubuntu and earlier versions. Second, there is less information about installing the latest version of VMware Workstation8.0.3 under Ubuntu12.04. I encountered the following problems: 1. after downloading the bundle version of VMware Workstation8.0.3 (linux), it cannot run 2. after several twists and turns, we can't run VMware Workstation8.0.33. after installing VMware Workstation, we usually need to change some settings to optimize it, but it cannot be changed. 4. What should I do if I want to uninstall it after installation? Www.2cto.com is based on the problems I encountered above. after a long time of hard work, I finally solved the problem! I would like to share with you the purpose of saving your valuable time! 1. Download the bundle version (linux) of the latest VMware Workstation [I have uploaded it to the 115 network disk, so that you do not have to register it from the official website before downloading it] 32-bit: allow (VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.3-703057.i386.bundle), right-click Select properties, select the permissions tab, select allow to execute files in a program, complete or use terminal command: cd to the directory where the downloaded file is located, and then enter [plain] chmod + x VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.3-703057.i386.bundle 3. Run the bundle installer, install VMware Workstation8.0.3 4. Download the VMware Workstation8.0.2 patch for the Linux kernel. After the patch is installed, it cannot run when running VMware Workstation. The details are as follows:


The above means that the services of vmware are not started, and you are required to start the service before running the program. However, when the service is started, the "Virtual Network Device" cannot be started, this is actually a problem with Vmware's support for the latest Ubuntu Linux kernel. Therefore, you need to download a patch to solve this problem, as shown below: www.2cto.com vmware802fixlinux320.tar.bz2: http://115.com/file/c28j2n5y Five unzip vmware802fixlinux320.tar.bz2, modify the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh file in line 7th, vmreqver = 8.0.2 to vmreqver = 8.0.3, save the exit because the patch is for version 8.0.2, 8.0.3 directly run this is no function. 6. Run the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh as root to open the terminal, use the "cd" command to enter the file directory where the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh is located, and enter the following command [plain] sudo. /patch-modules_3.2.0.sh 7, run, install VMware Workstation8.0.3, basically keep next on line 8, after installation, if you want to modify the global settings of VMware Workstation, to run the program as a root user, you must first enter the directory where the VMware Workstation running file is located. The default value is "File System" (the file system is the window folder in disk C similar to windows ), the specific location is/usr/bin/vmware, which can be accessed through the "Main folder" or through a terminal. The terminal command is as follows: [plain] <pre name = "code" class = "plain"> cd .. /cd .. /cd usr cd B In sudo. /vmware 9. How to uninstall VMware Workstation: uninstalling VMware Workstation is not found from the Ubuntu Software Center (I did not find it ), the uninstall method is similar to Step 7. First, you need to enter the directory where the files are detached from VMware Workstation, which is also under the "/usr/bin/" directory in the "File System, to uninstall the SDK, run the following command on the terminal: [plain] cd .. /cd .. /www.2cto.com cd usr cd bin sudo. /vmware-uninstall. The above are some of my experiences on installing VMware Workstation8.0.3 In Ubuntu. I hope I can help some friends who need it.
