It been ten years since I've installed a virtual machine under Linux, and things have changed.
I downloaded and ran VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.x86_64.bundle to install VMware Player with success. Howver, I have trouble starting it. I have no desktop. Does that make a differnce? $ vmplayer & [1] 25824 haines@engels:~$ /usr/bin/vmplayer: line 35: 25827 Segmentation fault "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Player" --icon="vmware-player" Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root? $ sudo vmplayer & [2] 25851 The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should expect a VMware window to pop up. I would like to run Windows 7 or 8 in a virtual machine. Any way to get it cheaply?
