Note for Ubuntu users:

When asked for the current administrative user for VMware Server, specify your user as a different administrator.

Note about VMware Remote Console Plug-in:

The VMware Remote Console Plug-in does not work properly on Ubuntu 9.10, Fedora 12 and other newer distributions. A workaround for this is to set the environment variable VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK before running the VMware Remote Console Plug-in. To set this environment variable at login time, add the following line to your ~/.profile:

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
