Installing VMWare Server 2 on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04)

After conversion those files, now it's time for a new clean install ubuntu and vmware server 2.
I'll skip the ubuntu installation, it's the thing you gotta do by your own, not so hard.

Let's take a look in the first step before install vmware server 2 after clean installed of ubuntu.

1. Don't forget to update and upgrade all the necessary packages.

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get upgrade 

2. Build essential packages

sudo apt-get install buil-essential

3. If you don't have gcc, you might want to install this package before the installation.

sudo apt-get install gcc 

 4. Download the vmware package and put in somewhere you want to.
 5. Because the ubuntu 10.04 has update its kernel to 2.6.32 so you need to patch you vmware package before apply the installation. Go download script from here
 6. Run the script with super user rights either in the same folder where you have downloaded the server archive (mine is /home/mazaruz/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.tar.gz.gz So I put the scripts in /home/mazaruz/ )

chmod +x vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.sh

sudo ./vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.sh [PATH_TO_VMWARE_ARCHIVE]

 7. Then it'll lead you to the installation of vmware itself. just do as it said. Don't forget to add your new user for administration your vmware server. 
 8. the license key can be found in vmware website when you registered there. just copy it.
 9. All is finish!!
