Martin Cleaver, have you enabled the partner repo? That means you
should have a line like this in the "/etc/apt/sources.list":
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner
On my system:
$ apt-cache show vmware-server
Package: vmware-server
Priority: optional
Section: partner/misc

I hadn't done a
sudo apt-get update
Surely it could prompt the user to check that if they get no results?

When I search for vmware using Synaptic I see the list of categories
restricted to the "System" category, but no entries.

@Ralph, this is really interesting. I tried those commands you've

Yes, Gutsy on AMD64 CPU. I can see vmware-server, but only since it was

Ralph you must have missed something. I saw vmware-player in the
partner repo from the first day Gutsy was released. You can install it
by using "Add/Remove Applications". Are you using x86-64 version of

Thanks Yan. I realised player couldn't be upgraded to server, I was
trying to say that those with player installed from pre-Gutsy will
expect it to be upgraded one-day to a Gutsy player. If you're saying
that server is a super-set of player then that's fine and maybe we don't

Ralph, though from the same mother, vmware-server and vmware-player
are two different products, just like Mercedes-Benz 300 compared with
Benz 500. vmware-player is a light-weight player-only product with

I'm not sure of the differences between vmware-server and vmware-player

Hey all, I see the vmware-server package is already in the partner repo,
try it. And close this bug if it's OK to you. It's not in the
"Add/Remove..." program, you'll have to use Synaptic to install it.

Ok - and I will take that back. Automatix2 will not be able to do VMWare
stuff until it is in the partner Repos... Manual install then I suppose.

Dare I suggest that users itching to get this use Automatix? The
supposed reports of automatix's demise after Gutsy were obviously
premature - VMware player and server, among other things, are in the

Just got to this bug after investigating why a friend's vmware-player
installation from 7.04's commercial repo no longer works after upgrading
to 7.10. We don't want to move away from repo-supplied packages since
smooth upgrades is one of its key advantages. However, it does seem

The packages in the "partner" repository are commercial (free and/or

any give package's original publisher (in this case vmware) about its
availability.
