## Install VMWare Player 15.5 for Ubuntu 18.04 and BakcBox Linux | |
I don't know if VMWare is messing with Linux users or they just don't care, installing VMWare player was not pleasure at all. | |
You need hackish brain to make it working with Remove Console who is kind of dependency for VMWare WebSphere and | |
advanced users of VMWare products. Anyway .. | |
## Step by step | |
Install older version of VMWare Player 12.5.9 | |
sudo ./VMware-Player-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundle | |
Direct download URL: https://www.4shared.com/s/fr0X5PIzRda | |
Then install VMWare Remote Console | |
sudo vmware-installer -i VMware-Remote-Console-10.0.6-14247266.x86_64.bundle --console --eulas-agree | |
Direct download URL: https://www.4shared.com/s/fAIQQXQvTfi | |
Then, and only then, you can install install VMWare 15.5 | |
sudo ./VMware-Player-15.5.0-14665864.x86_64.bundle | |
Direct download URL https://www.4shared.com/s/foNmRu0fgee | |
## Info about this solution | |
Short story is: VMWare Player 15.5 comes with vmware-installer --version 3.0.0, and VMWare Remote Console need | |
vmware-installer --version 2.1.0, shipped with VMWare 12.5.9, guess they forget to update Remote Console | |
to support both versions, detect and switch to one VMWare version 15.5 is using. | |
## ERROR YOU WILL SEE IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL REMOTE CONSOLE WITHOUT THIS PROCEDURE | |
Component vmware-usbarbitrator 17.3.0 has unsatisfied dependency: | |
vmware-installer=2.1.0 | |
## P.S. This tutorial for everybody with same issue, because in the time of writing this "tutorial" nobody else proposed solution for Ubuntu/Debian users |
