Hi, I used to have Workstation 7.1.2 installed on my Ubuntu 10.10. I upgraded to 11.04 a few days ago and it doesn't work anymore.
Tried uninstalling it but:
# vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation --console
All configuration information is about to be removed. Do you wish to
keep your configuration files? [yes]:
Uninstalling VMware Workstation 7.1.2

Uninstallation was unsuccessful.
Same thing without the console option, same thing after answering "no".
Then downloaded Workstation 7.1.4 and tried installing it:
# ./vmware.bundle --console
Extracting VMware Installer...done.

Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes

Installation was unsuccessful.
Also tried without console, fails.
Then tried installing Player 3.1.4:
# ./vp.bundle --console
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
Component vmware-workstation 7.1.2 has unsatisfied dependency: vmware-
player-app=3.1.2
Which is strange...
Other useful info:
# uname -a
Linux perseus 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What else info do I need to provide?
Offcourse I've searched in Ubuntu and VMware forums but noone has the exact problem solved...
Any ideas? I'm totally stuck!
Thanks!!!
