HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server

[Lobox]

i have this error when i want to install again vmware server not the virtual OS

[ntwrkguy]

I have /dev/hda1 with Ubuntu on it, /dev/hda2 with swap, /dev/hda3 with NTFS Windows XP on it. Loaded up hda3 in VMWare, and when I start it, I get a ERROR 17 in GRUB. Any advice? Thanks!

I edit this since I found a good keyword for my search and fixed my error by apt-getting xlibs-dev.

Now, a question: Can vmware be runned without X? I mean why should X be needed for a daemon. From what I can understand from the howto you are bound to a graphical interface. I hope there is another way.

What happened to this issue ??
I've got basically the same problems and I cannot find any cures.
#1 problem: How can I move files between UBUNTU host and Win98 Guest ?? Seems to me this would be one of the main reasons for running a VM and there ought to be a way.

Just creates more questions....
1. How do I create a shared folder in ubuntu
2. How do I use the network (Win98) to access shared folders on the system?

How do I get past this part?

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

Hallo!

Did you manage to sort out this problem? I have the same one!

Hallo

I've VERY recently begun using Ubuntu (I installed Dapper Drake two days ago!!), and want to install VMware server. I'm having trouble during the installation.

I think its to do with the installation of the linux-headers.

>sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd
>Reading package lists... Done
>Building dependency tree... Done
>E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.15-21-386

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386/include

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.15-23-386) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.6.15-26-386). Even if the module were to compile
successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.


Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks...
