Instalar o VMware Workstation no Linux Mint 14.

[jutexol]

Amigos, preciso de ajuda para instalar o VMware.
Já tentei várias versões e todas me dão erro ou na instalação ou quando arranco.
Aparecem-me erros como:
"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and load into the running kernnel."
Clico em install e dá erro a carregar "Virtual Network Device" e em "VMware Blocking Filesystem"
Por fim aparece uma janela com o erro:
" Unable to start services. See log file/tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-23450.log for details."

Abrindo a referida file aparece o seguinte:

Se me poderem dar uma ajuda, fico muito agradecido.

Já experimentaste a versão 9.0.1?

Versões anteriores a esta versão, não eram oficialmente suportadas e só funcionavam com patchs não oficiais. Está relacionado com a versão de kernel, que penso ser a 3.5. Não se conseguia compilar os modulos contra esta versão de kernel.

A versão 9.0.1 resolveu esses problemas.

Sim, isso costuma resolver muitas vezes os problemas.

Caso não funcione, é procurares por "vmware workstation patch linux" que existem varios patches (ou varias edições do mesmo) para corrigir os "bugs" dos modulos aquando da compilação.(PS: Não achei um guia simples para aplicar isto noutras distos, se alguem quiser contribuir com o link para *buntu/debian penso que seria relevante)

Cumprimentos

Antes de mais, obrigado pelas ajudas.

Depois de muito batalhar consegui.
Ficam aqui as dicas para quem precisar.
Primeiro que tudo, devemos desinstalar as versões antigas, para isso abrimos um terminal e escrevemos o seguinte:

sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

Depois de termos feito o download da versão 9.0.1 do VMware Workstatio, instalamo-lo abrindo um terminal dentro da pasta de transferências e damos a seguinte instrução:

sudo sh ./VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.0-812388.x86_64.bundle

Fazemos o download do patch em:

http://communities.vmware.com/servl.../2103172-94260/vmware9_kernel35_patch.tar.bz2

Voltamos a abrir o terminal na pasta de transferências e damos as seguintes instruções:

$tar xfj vmware9_kernel35_patch.tar.bz2
$ cd vmware9_kernel3.5_patch
$ sudo ./patch-modules_3.5.0.sh

E é tudo.

 

[Nemesis11]

jutexol, o que usaste, pela linha de comandos que colocaste, é a versão 9.0.0 e não a versão 9.0.1

Se tivesses usado a versão 9.0.1, não precisavas desse patch.

Tens razão, foi o que eu arranjei na altura, apenas um pequeno descuido!

Obrigado pela ajuda.
