How To Install VMware Player On Ubuntu 11.04/Linux Mint 11 This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Player on an Ubuntu 11.04 or Linux Mint 11 desktop system. With VMware Player you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. on your desktop, i.e., you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money.

The demonstration was really helpful.
thank you. :)
Thanks for sharing the step by step by guide since I am new to Ubuntu and want to run my VM inside it.
BTW, how did you get the windows like start menu in Ubuntu?
Grazie la guida è stata molto chiara ed esaustiva - Thank very good explain
That is a MINT feature - check out #13 Maya release - yenna daa?
thanks man, I was short of the install build-essential linux-headers part and getting an installation error.
Better instructions will be very very difficult to find (not that I am lookin for them any longer :-)
Thank you!
Following these instructions, VMware Player installed on Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks
Is there some other command that I should use in terminal?
Please help
Thank you
Downloading with Google's chrome browser results in a file with .txt as a suffix, instead of .bundle. The installation subsequently failed. I couldn't be bothered to find out why. Switching to firefox and downloading it again gave the proper file suffix .bundle and installation succeeded.
Just rename the .txt file to a .bundle file, and it works great.
This (with one minor change) worked in Linux Mint 14 KDE
The minor change was, of course to use
kdesudo
instead of
gksudo
Thanks very much for the how-to!!

Falko, thanks a lot for this simple but comprehensive guideline. Wanted to ensure people find it for this versions as well.

thanks man, it worked for me on linux mint 13. great
Thanx 4 Ur Help, Falko!...a Gentleman & a Scholar!
Thanks for the nice guide!
gksudo treats '-' as leading parameter values, so command line as represented above becomes invalid! error message: GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion 'value != NULL' failed simple solution - rename file before running command! e.g mv VMware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle vmware.bundle
very helpful i installed workstation, and it works g8, that bro.
Thanks very much. This worked with Mint 17.1 and VMware Player 12.
