Ubuntu Vmware Server C header files headers error

stuck with this error?

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

try this:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
ln -sf /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux

Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade causes vmware issues

1) Quick fix for when upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 causes compiling errors in vmware-config.pl

2) For dealing with weird mouse issues:
This thread gave me the idea:

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/vmwareVista

And place in this file :

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes;

And then whatever you use to launch the VM, aka:

USB problems with VMWare Server 2 and Ubuntu 8.10 - AKA how I got my webcam to work in vmware

Can't get VMWare to recognize your USB devices even though you added them to your virtual machine in the VMWare console?

1) sudo gedit /etc/fstab/
2) Add this at the bottom

# code to get VMWare to recognize USB devices
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0

3) Save and close gedit, then sudo shutdown -r now to reboot.
4) When you reopen VMWare you might have to manaully connect to the USB device in question...(In my case, the camera)
