Ubuntu 9.04+vmware+uninstall probs
Hi all
I delete the vmware directory my mistake, when I try to reinstall vmware I get the following messages, I've tried to remove the directories and files it ask but I'm getting NO where in a hurry any other ideas please, I wish to reinstall vmware Code:
tommytomato@tomatoland:~/Desktop/vmware-server-distrib$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl |
I am not too familiar with VMware, but have you done a "purge" of the package. Sometimes some of the old files still end up sticking around even after an uninstall. Now, I can't remember the exact command, you may want to try man aptitude to get an idea, but it was something to the effect of sudo aptitude vmware --purge or --purgeall . Either way, that is something to look into while I try to do some research, although I am at work right now, so may not be able to check back in for a while.

I've had no lick yet my self
here is what I get when running the Purge command Code:
tommytomato@tomatoland:~$ aptitude purge vmware TT |
If you are definitely putting "sudo" in front of those purge commands then there is really something messed up or those resources are still running upon startup. Have tried running "top" to see if those listed are running, and if they are, all you need is the PID # which should be listed with that resource and then be able to kill it, and then maybe purge will work. That's about all I got, but good luck and let us know how it turns out!

NO luck yet, is there another way to remove those folder's ?
I've use my band width up for the month and can only start Downloading stuff from 2am onwards, sucks hey anyways I've downloaded virtual box instead, but I still want to remove thoses folders reinstall vmware then uninstall it the correct way Quote:
Code:
gksudo nautilus |
well my system updated it self, and I was able to reinstall vmware OK, did have a problem with the graphics thou, how ever I was able to repair that too.
I ran the command Code:
sudo vmware-uninstall.pl Code:
tommytomato@tomatoland:~/Desktop/vmware-server-distrib$ sudo vmware-uninstall.pl TT |
Glad to hear you are making some progress. I don't have any personal knowledge of either VMware or Virtual Box, so I can't help with choosing between those 2, I am just glad that you have been able to move on and at least get one of thee installed. I wish you the best of luck and please post back if you rnn into something else, but obviously if it is a different issue please start a new thread, so that it is properly labeled, etc.

Ubuntu 9.10 RC
Hello,
I'd like to know if there is any good reason for me to download and install the new Ubuntu 9.10. I have downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.04 and kept it updated. So, do I have all the features that Ubuntu 9.10 offers? Thanks for any reply. Dwight Randall |
Well, I would definitely suggest checking out Ubuntu.com and reading up on the differences, I know I will be upgrading because my graphics card is supposed to have better support in the new kernel, also they are now using Grub 2 I believe, and the default "theme" for the desktop and login, etc. is supposed to be improved. I know these are minor things, but the major thing would be the upgrade of the kernel which some of the newer software out there requires. Just check it out and see if it is worth your time. Whenever I do an installation, I have 3 partitions, one for root (/), one for swap, and one for all the home directories (/home), that way I can upgrade or install a new version without touching my existing documents, music, etc. because that is all in my home directory which remains untouched since it's on its own partition. Just my opinion.

I ended up using Virtual Host, because it was a very quick setup and had a simple GUI to use. Got a short video on all the systems installed along with a Compiz effect but you will see Ubuntu 9.10 - Vista HP - Windows7- XP-PRO all installed http://www.youtube.com/smeggingtommy how ever the system does slow down a bit when I run all OS systems at once TT |

simple update 9.04 via your Update Manager to 9.10 TT |
I believe to update to a new "version" you can run within the terminal just an
Code:
update -d Code:
update d can't remember off of the top of my head, but just doing a simple update will keep updating your current version and not bring you all the way up to Karmic Koala (9.10) without specifying, just FYI. |
