 These are hacks that allow guest system to be shutdown using the virtsh shutdown command. I found problems with WinXP and Ubuntu Lucid when trying to do a shutdown. This should be cleaner than using the destroy option.

			Install freezes when trying to do an install. I found the following tips to work properly.

			You need to be root, so do something like sudo su - and change to the directory where the vmware bundle is.

			chmod 755 VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.*.bundle
			export VMWARE_SKIP_MODULES=true
			./VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.*.bundle

			After the install completes, do the following.
			vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

			Fix vmware command if there is an issue with the mouse losing focus because the display is too big.

			mv /usr/bin/vmware /usr/bin/vmware.real

			and create the file /usr/bin/vmware with the following content.
			#!/bin/bash

			export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force

			/usr/bin/vmware.real $@

			Make sure you chmod the file
			chmod 755 /usr/bin/vmware

How to tell if you processor supports Virtualization.

cat /proc/cpuinfo

* vmx – (intel)
* svm – (amd)

If your cpuinfo file has a flag "svm" then you have AMD-v hardware virtualization support (aka pacifica) on
your cpu.

egrep ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo
