Re: Install on VMware Server?
I'm not great with kubuntu, but have you tried making of your xorg.conf file (that is if your graphics work prior to the update)
Just curious, as mentioned i'm not very good with kubuntu, Why do you not install the desktop straight on? I believe you can install everything needed after the fresh desktop install to function as a server.
Hope this helps

I'm also running Kubuntu on vmware I will provide my xorg.conf below(the screen resolutions will need to be edited):
