vmware-console voodoo incantation
In caz ca cineva googleaza in disperare dupa chestia asta:
sudo aptitude install vmware-package
make-vmpkg -s /path/to/VMware-server-console-XXXXX.tar.gz
sudo dpkg -i vmware-server-console_1.0.2.39867.0.19.0_i386.deb
vmware-server-console
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
Ooops. Screeeech! Halt. BTS. #434302.
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force
vmware-server-console
Phew!
