Ops, there's a bug that rarely trigger (only with windows guest, while starting java it seems). it kills your vmware session and the vmmon module crashes with a NULL pointer error.
its fixed in the new archive at http://www.insecure.ws/2008/10/20 /vmware-specific-specific-55x-and-kernel-2627 make sure you update, if this happens to you, you need to reboot before you can use vmware again or even update the module. note that the above vmmon.tar linked from the chinese page apparently suffer from the same problem. -- VMWare Server on kernel 2.6.27-2-generic: cannot compile vmmon module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
