I checked for the status as you asked. Turns out for some reason linux-generic was not installed. To fix it, I did an apt-get update, installed it via your command line above and then did an apt-get upgrade just to be sure I had everything as current as possible.
While X11 starts ok now - the VMware server at first still could not be used. The VMware-Server-Console started, however I could not resume an existing VM. There is a strange thing I noticed: $ dpkg -s vmware-server-kernel-modules Package: vmware-server-kernel-modules Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 52 Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: linux-meta Version: 2.6.20.15.14 Depends: vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15 Description: vmware-server kernel module dependency package This empty package allows people to keep their VMware Server kernel modules up-to-date when upgrading their Linux kernel. This shows a dependency on version 2.6.20-15 of vmware-server-kernel- modules, even though this is not the most recent one. Shouldn't this be -16 after my update/upgrade cycle? Via lsmod I found out that neither vmmon nor vmnet had been loaded. Trying to modprobe them did not work, because they simply were not installed for the -16 kernel. So I manually installed vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 (which is listed along with the -15 version): $ dpkg -p vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 Package: vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 Priority: optional Section: restricted/misc Installed-Size: 7096 Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 Version: 2.6.20.5-16.28 Depends: module-init-tools, linux-image-2.6 Conflicts: vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 Size: 2774320 Description: vmware-server modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20) This package contains the set of loadable kernel modules for VMware Server. .
