Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ia32-libs
After installing VMware-server-1.0.6-91891 and vmware-any-any-116 on an 8.04 system the VMware console will not work. Apparently VMware's distribution has issues with libx11-6. The symptoms include: # vmware /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) On an i386 system this can be fixed by downgrading libx11-6: # lynx http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libx11-6 (Note the "gutsy", not "hardy" version) # dpkg -i libx11*deb If that does not work try patching the VMware-shipped libraries: # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 && mkdir bak ; mv * bak ; ln -s /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 . # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0 && mkdir bak ; mv * bak ; ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.15.0 libpng12.so.0 However, on an x86_64 system this will cause a different problem: # vmware Locking assertion failure. Backtrace: #0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0xb6f86767] #1 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0(xcb_xlib_unlock+0x31) [0xb6f868b1] In those cases the fix is to downgrade ia32-libs, same as was done for libx11-6: # http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ia32-libs (Note the "gutsy", not "hardy" version) # dpkg -i ia32*deb ** Affects: ia32-libs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- 8.04 upgrade breaks vmware server console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261735 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
