Ubuntu Installation :: Downgrading Glibmm (vmware GUI Not Starting)
May 22, 2011
I'm trying to install VMware 7.1.3 on ubuntu ( 2.6.38 ) but I ran into some problems. I installed a patch -> link to instructions
But when I try to run vmware workstation the GUI doesn't show up. This problem is also descrbied on the same site (link) They say: "This seems to be a problem with glibmm-2.28, downgrade glibmm to 2.24.2.1, and it should work."
I have no idea how to do this. Most sites refer to gtkmm..how to uninstall a previous version and how to install the correct version?

I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on a Dell Latitude E6500. VMware Workstation won't run if I have glibmm24-2.28.1-1.fc15.x86_64 installed. I managed to downgrade to glibmm24-2.24.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64, and VMWare Workstation worked. Then, I did a "yum upgrade". Now vmware won't run. I tried to downgrade glibmm back to the 24-2.24 version, but I get the message:
Code:
% yum downgrade glibmm24-2.24.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

So I added the --skip-broken flag .....

UPDATE: Actually it's version 2.04 not 2.0, guess the site i followed was a little dated.
so i was a little hasty in upgrading Tranmission to version 2.0 and after a while i noticed that the new version is really slow especially for public torrents my question is; is it possible to downgrade to version 1.93?
i followed these command to install the new version.
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

I have installed fc12 on my core2due machine, and I have installed the vmware server on it, its rpm is installed successfully with out any error, after that a message is displayed
The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "rpm -e VMware-server".
Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl".
I tried this command and find the this message
[Akram@localhost Downloads]$ su -c "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" Password: Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.4.2", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.3" anyway? [no] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/src/linux/include]
Now it asks me in last lines that "What is the location of Directory of C header files that match your running kernal?"

I have installed the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (11.04) into latest VMware workstation (7.1.4 build-385536). I have tried to install the VMware tools ISO that came with VMware workstation but It didn't work and the installation seemed real sloppy anyways.
I installed the open VMware tools from synaptic within the guest linux and restarted, everything seemed to have been installed just fine but VMware Workstation doesn't detect it. I'm not sure if the tools are outdated, silent errors happened, or if any manual post installation steps need to be taken.
getting any form of VMware tools to run in Linux and detected by VMware Workstation.

I need to work on CUDA, nVidia's API for GPU development. The gcc version it requires is one step below what 9.10 provides, but it works on 9.04
I understand it ultimately comes down to installing the appropriate packages, changing symlinks of gcc and to point to the correct version.
So, is there an "official Ubuntu way" to do it? As in, is there some transitional or script that does it all?
(The reason I am asking this is, generally whenever I do something like this on my own, it ends up breaking something somewhere, but if there's an official way to do it, it plays well with the rest of the system.)

I completed the installation of VMWare Server 2.0.2 onto a CentOS 5.4 64-bit distribution. There is a VMware virtual machine file on the server in question, and I want to activate it through the application console.
I did not see anything readily apparent that would facilitate the importing of the virtual machine file. Does anyone have a procedure that can accomplish this task?

Would there be any possible problem with installing Ubuntu 10.04 over 10.10 on a manually partitioned PC?
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and am considering going back to Lucid. I have 2 partitions ~ home and root. I presume there would be no problems with installing 10.04 over the 10.10 root partition? Will configuration files created by 10.10 in my home folder be usable by Ubuntu 10.04?

I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.

I unfortunately succumbed to the lure of the latest and greatest and upgraded from a wonderfully stable, great version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the -how shall I say- adventurous beta release of Ubuntu 11.04. My question is, I think, simple. Is it advisable to downgrade to the last 10.04 LTS ver.? I have my personal data saved. I run a dual boot with an old copy of Windows which I use once a year to do my taxes on.

I installed wrong version from this package (I didn't knew that libc6 was very important package) so now i get a lot of errors. I tracked the original version and downloaded it. I have it on my PC as .deb package but i can't install it because it's older version then the installed one. Normally, I would first remove the old package and then install new. But now I'm not sure because I don't know will my edubuntu work without the libc6 package. Version of my edbuntu is 7.04 installed on asus eee 900HA. I only have internet on my desktop PC.

This is the first time in two and half years of using Ubuntu that I've had to decide to downgrade, pretty disappointed that there are so many bugs in a final release, especially the more irritating bugs such as:
After alt+tabing I can't type sometimes (I've posted about this before), after a clean install problem still persists, I alt+tab a lot so not being able to type without minimizing my window is irritating
compiz + jaunty issue of assigning a key to bring up a terminal. The bug has been confirmed but if there is a fix, it wasn't put out with the release and requires tampering (usually I'd be okay with this but coupled with the other issues I see no point in wasting time)
nvidia card with twinview - with every prior release nvidia-settings worked flawlessly with twinview. Now the biggest issue is that when I fullscreen something it takes up both screens (such as a movie), when I am trying to work on one monitor and run a movie on another one I can't fullscreen because if I do it takes up both screens. I never have had this issue with a prior release.
I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm downgrading my system as well as my girlfriends because of the known intel graphics problem (I've read the wiki's about why they chose the driver but....a final release of an OS should not contain beta/experimental drivers that freeze up a computer set as a default).

I upgraded U. 9.04 to 9.1 over the net a few days ago and got stung by the 'Driver' issue. Namely, my nvidia card is not reconciled and as a result, the monitor remains blank. I am assuming that the remainder of the upgrade went o.K. though I can only follow the boot sequence on the monitor during the bios start up.
I have a live disk of U. 9.04 and want to revert back to it, preserving my data. When I put in the disk and am hopefully asked if I want to "Upgrade", will it work in reverse, so to speak. I understand that there is a problem with compatible libraries etc. but will it ignore this and simply replace the new with the old?
