I installed Vmware 8.0 in ubuntu 12.04, after installation process when i click on vmware icon nothing happens! even don't display any kind of error, what am i supposed to do? does 12.04 support Vmware 8.0?
I found a patch can solve this problem for Vmware 8.0.2 but didn't work for Vmware 8.0.
If you want to go 8.0.2, I wrote a small tutorial to install VMWARE 8.0.2.
Follow this steps:
Download:
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads
Change permissions:
chmod +x VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2-591240.x86_64
Run:
./VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2-591240.x86_64
Then run:
apt-get install patch
After install patch, you must download the VMware correction to your kernel:
http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz
Unpack the GZ file:
tar -zxvf vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz
Run the Kernel modules patch:
./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh
Finally, execute VMWARE.
