What if you try sudo apt-get install vmware-server-kernel-modules as Simon noted above?

Hi, I’m trying to implement your solution. The problem is I have a different kernel installed. The error I get is exactly the same, only that it says: 2.6.20-16-generic instead of 2.6.20-14-386

If I apply your solution I get the same error.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you

Thank you SOOOOOO much! I’ve no idea how you figured out how to fix those errors, but I sure do appreciate you sharing!! People like you are what keep open source working!

As Simon noted , I first tried using apt-get, but I was having the same vmmon problem that way. Thanks for posting this fix, it got vmware back up for me after upgrading to feisty. Now if we could just get checkpoint going on Ubuntu, I wouldn’t have to use vmware anyways.

what about:
sudo apt-get install vmware-server-kernel-modules

feisty ships them to you in universe or multiverse. unless you have compiled your own kernel, say bye bye to compiling vmware modules when a kernel update comes along.

Kind regards,
Simon

Hey, thanks… I’d just upgraded my Edgy box to FF and this is working now!

Thanks - I had this same problem and your fix worked perfectly. Its too bad vmware isn’t such a slam dunk with Feisty - yet.
