I get the same issue installing package vmware-server 1.0.4-1gutsy2 I am networked only via wifi.
During installation, I would like to choose manually the vmnet0 bridged to my wlan1 connected to internet, this is not an automatic possible choice. See my ifconfig in: Bug #112492, first reported on 2007-05-04 by Jordan vmware-server install ( from Feisty commercial repository ) fails if you don't have an eth0 -- vmware server installation from partners repository in gutsy generates several errors related to xinetd, vmnet, vmmon, vmware-authd, and update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
