I have clean installed ubuntu 12.10 from 12.04. I have had vmware workstation 8.0.3 installed successfully without any issues(after patching). Well i've now installed Vmware Workstation 8.0.3 on my ubuntu 12.10 and patched successfully(i presume) but when i open workstation up it still does the "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel." screen. So i click "Install" and its start doing its compileing as so:
Stopping VMware Services -- Completed Successfully
Virtual Machine Monitor -- Completed Successfully
Virtual Network Device -- Completed Successfully
VMware Blocking Filesystem -- Completed Unsuccessfully
Virtual Machine Communication Interface -- Completed Successfully
VMCI Sockets -- Completed Successfully
Starting VMware Services Starts
and it starts fine. then asks about upgrading to VMWare Workstation 9 so i click skip this upgrade.
Lets me boot my virtual just fine and no other flaws. But compileing everytime is geting really anoying and i was wondering if i had done somthing wrong in the process? or if this is a new bug with the new version of ubuntu.
Any input is welcome.
PS: the patch i used is: "patch-modules_3.2.0.sh"
***EDIT: Nevermind found how to change hotkeys(ran as root).
Thanks,
