Install vmware Player
Prerequisite
- old kernel version
- kernel dev tools installed
Download
Page currently unknown (find free player V6.0.1 for linux x86_64 or higher)
License only required for advanced functionality
Install
Install the bundle (can use X)
sudo sh VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle
This should compile and install all kernel modules.
Troubleshooting
If it doesn't start retry with
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
If modules do not get loaded, start them
/etc/init.d/vmware start
Start player
vmplayer
or
vmplayer some-config.vmx
If player cannot start a VM, it writes the logfile to /tmp
Currently it does not start at all. I read it could be related to native nvidia drivers.
