Public bug reported: Hi,
Downloaded http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz. Unpacked and installed. Up until about a month ago, this installed fine on edgy. Now, on a fresh machine running Edgy, running gives (both in bash and dash): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
