Install VMware Server 2.0 on Ubuntu 8.10

1. Download VMware Server 2.0

Registe on VMware web site to get an account. When you download you would see a serial nomber.

What I download was TARimage (not for 64 bit version). you should get what you need according your machine.

VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.i386.tar.gz

2. Install nessesary dependence:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd
sudo apt-get install xinetd

3. Unzip tar ball

tar zxvf VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.i386.tar.gz

you will get a folder:

vmware-server-distrib

4.

cd vmware-server-distrib

sudo ./vmware-install.pl


之后

cd vmware-server-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

下面一路回车就可以了。只是要注意一点:

The current administrative user for VMware Server is ”. Would you like to
specify a different administrator? [no]

如果你选择默认的no,在登录vmware终端的时候要用root。这不是个大问题,但是如果你想用你自己的用户登录(登录Ubuntu的用户),你必须输入yes然后回车,然后就会让你i输入你自己的用户。

4.如果你上步选择了默认的no,就会以root登录,你要为root设个密码:

sudo passwd root

5. 打开Firefox(我试过Opera也可以),在地址栏输入 http://localhost:8222会弹出登录框。

6.输入你的用户名和密码,如果第三步选择no,在这里就要用root登录。

OK,现在可以建立你自己的虚拟机了。
