Come Installare VMware Server 1.0.x Su Un Desktop Ubuntu 9.10

Next do this:

cd /home/falko/Downloads  
wget -c http://www.insecure.ws/warehouse/vmware-update-2.6.31-5.5.9.tar.bz2  
tar xvfj vmware-update*.tar.bz2

Before we finish the VMware Server installation, we must build a new kernel with the init_mm feature enabled. Become root…

sudo su

… and install the kernel source:

aptitude install linux-source-2.6.31

Next we install a few packages that we need to build the kernel:

aptitude install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-wedge linux libncurses5-dev kernel-package

If you notice that a new kernel gets installed during this command, please reboot the system:

reboot

Now become root again:

sudo su

Next do this:

cd /usr/src  
tar xvfj linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2  
cd linux-source-2.6.31

Open arch/x86/kernel/init_task.c…

gedit arch/x86/kernel/init_task.c

… and add the line EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(init_mm); right at the end of the file, behind DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(struct tss_struct, init_tss) = INIT_TSS;:

| [...] DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(struct tss_struct, init_tss) = INIT_TSS; EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(init_mm); |

Then copy the kernel configuration of the current kernel into the kernel source directory…

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config

… and run:

make menuconfig

In the kernel configuration menu, go to Load an Alternate Configuration File…

… fill in.config and select Ok:

Next select Exit in the main kernel configuration menu…

… and then Yes when you’re asked: Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration?

Then run

make-kpkg clean  
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers

to build the new kernel. This can take a lot of time so be patient.

Afterwards you can find a linux-image and a linux-headers.deb package in the /usr/src/ directory:

cd /usr/src/  
ls -l

root@falko-desktop:/usr/src# ls -l  
total 461180  
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root      4096 2009-10-27 19:16 linux-headers-2.6.31-14  
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root      4096 2009-10-27 19:16 linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic  
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root      4096 2009-12-11 16:57 linux-headers-2.6.31-16  
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root      4096 2009-12-11 16:57 linux-headers-2.6.31-16-generic  
-rw-r--r--  1 root src    6319116 2009-12-11 19:51 linux-headers-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb  
-rw-r--r--  1 root src  403726102 2009-12-11 19:48 linux-image-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb  
drwxr-xr-x 26 root root      4096 2009-12-11 19:48 linux-source-2.6.31  
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  62176632 2009-12-08 09:02 linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2  
root@falko-desktop:/usr/src#

Install both packages as follows…

dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

… and then reboot the system:

reboot

Afterwards, run

uname -a

… as a normal user, and you should see your new kernel:

falko@falko-desktop:~$ uname -a  
Linux falko-desktop 2.6.31.4-custom #1 SMP Fri Dec 11 17:36:56 CET 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux  
falko@falko-desktop:~$

Now we can continue with the VMware Server installation:

cd /home/falko/Downloads/vmware-update*/  
sudo ./runme.pl

Answer the following question with yes:

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
“/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl”. Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [no] <– yes

Afterwards you can accept the default values simply by hitting .

When the installer asks you

In which directory do you want to keep your virtual machine files?  
[/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines]

you can either accept the default value or specify a location that has enough free space to store your virtual machines.

At the end of the installation, you will be asked to enter a serial number:

Please enter your 20-character serial number.

Type XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or 'Enter' to cancel:

Fill in your serial number for VMware Server.

After the successful installation, you can delete the VMware Server download file and the installation directory:

cd /home/falko/Downloads  
rm -f VMware-server*  
rm -fr vmware-server-distrib/  
rm -fr vmware-update*

You will now find VMware Server under Applications > Other > VMware Server Console:

When you start it, select Local host:

Afterwards, you can create virtual machines (or import your virtual Windows machine that you created with VMware Converter):
