VMWare Server 2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
So I got stuck getting VMWare 2.0 Server to install on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with Kernel 2.6.32-32-generic-pae.
You will need to patch the vmware installer to get this to work.
Download VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz
No need to unpack it.
Grab this patch. (Use the 1.5 one)
https://github.com/raducotescu/vmware-server-linux-2.6.3x-kernel/tree/release-1.5
Unpack the patch into the same folder as the VMware download.
Run the following
Then run the patch.
This worked perfectly for me.

Then run the patch.
./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh |
This worked perfectly for me.
