Bug Description
VMware Kernel Modules Updater does not find the Kernel Header Files for kernel 2.6.35-22-generic, but these are installed. VMware ist unusable without the modules the kernel modules updater wants to compile and install.
I found it with
VMware Workstation 6.5.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.1.1
Ubuntu 10.10 beta
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10
Package: open-vm-tools 2010.04.
ProcVersionSign
Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64
Architecture: amd64
Date: Sat Sep 18 10:50:00 2010
ProcEnviron:
PATH=(custom, user)
LANG=de_DE.utf8
SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: open-vm-tools
WORKAROUND: For 2.6.35 kernel and VMware 7.x.x, there’s a script to patch the VMware sources (see attachment at comment #13), give it execution permissions and run it:
sudo chmod +x vmware7.
sudo ./vmware7.
After that you can install the modules. You can do this with either by launching VMware and letting it install the modules from there with the GUI or alternatively you can execute the command:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
