How to tell if your processor supports Virtualization.
egrep 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo
or
cat /proc/cpuinfo
And look for the following CPU flags
- 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.
Fix VMware 6.5.3 on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10
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
