--------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS ----------
The following line will be added to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
902 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/vmware-authd vmware-authd
If you are indeed using xinetd, you will have to convert the
above into /etc/xinetd.conf format, and add it manually. See
/usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian for more information.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed, upgraded, and suitable for production use.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed, upgraded, and suitable for production use.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -l output copied below, installation of vmware-server is listed as "iF," although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -l output copied below, installation of vmware-server is listed as "iF," although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed and configured, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -s output copied below, installation of vmware-server was okay, but it was not successfully configured, although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Server Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed and configured, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -s output copied below, installation of vmware-server was okay, but it was not successfully configured, although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Server Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed and configured, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -s output copied below, installation of vmware-server was okay, but it was not successfully configured, although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Server Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed and configured, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -s output copied below, installation of vmware-server was okay, but it was not successfully configured, although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Server Console.

Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to "safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was successfully installed and configured, upgraded, and suitable for production use. As can be seen from the dpkg -s output copied below, installation of vmware-server was okay, but it was not successfully configured, although I am able to open a minimally-functional VMware Server Console.
