    VMWare Workstation 9

    I am having really bad time right now, as I can't run my Vmware vms in 12.10 because of the incompatibility with 3.5 kernel, so I booted into 3.2 and now I can't install linux-headers which are necessary for vmware. What else can I try?

      After I installed headers and try to run it on 3.2 there was a bunch of errors. And this doesn't work too. Still the same error:"Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to", or "Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to power on '/media/sda3/Windows 8/Windows 8.vmx'. Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken." I've tried at least 3 different approaches and no success.

        I would definitely chase this up on the vmware forum or regular ubuntu one if I were you. It's an across-the-board linux kernel whatever your flavour type deal, not just kubuntu. The wider you cast your net, the more fish you'll catch. Or something.

        Start with the vmware forum though, I bet it's full of people screaming about linux kernel support.

          Nothing seems to work for me so I temporarily switched to player, guess we'll have to wait for a working patch.

            Typcially, the patches from Weltall's blog work both for Player and Workstation.
