VMware Server on Gusty Gibbon Just Works

Posted on October 22nd, 2007 by Yousef Ourabi

On previous versions of Ubuntu you had to patch the free VMware server to get it to compile (as mentioned in this techrepublic article: How do I… Install VMware Server 1.04 onto an Ubuntu Linux System?

However on Gusty Gibbon amd64, which I’m running on my dell laptop, the vmware-install.pl script ran to completion without any patch!

Gusty is truly an awesome release, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out.

I’ll also be doing a “Virtualization Roundup” at some point, covering major virtualization, and para-virtualization software packages.
