I guess that means the virtualbox driver doesn't work with vmware.
(Two competing VM technologies, no surprise really.)
I've never used vmware on Linux. I use VirtualBox. NixOS distributes
OVA files that you can import straight into VirtualBox. I think that's
a very easy way to get started.
/facepalm
Clearly I can't read ;)
BTW, I did notice the prebuilt virtual machines, ready for importing,
which is very nice, but I wanted to try installing it myself just for
the learning experience. If/When I install it on a physical machine, I
won't necessarily be able to rely on a prebuilt image. It's the first
time I've installed any Linux without a GUI installer, but with the
NixOS manual, it turned out to be easy enough.
I'll see what I can figure out about installing guest additions from
vmware. I'm noticing a vmware-guest module on github. Should be simple
enough...
