How to install vmware player 5.0.2 on Elementary OS?

My system is running Elementary OS Luna which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 or Precise. I am running latest kernel 3.11 which was installed using .deb packages, packages were:
linux-headers-3.11.0-031100-generic_3.11.0-031100.201309021735_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.11.0-031100_3.11.0-031100.201309021735_all.deb
linux-image-3.11.0-031100-generic_3.11.0-031100.201309021735_amd64.deb
Then I followed steps mentioned @ How to Install VMware Player 5.0.2 on Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10, 12.04, Linux Mint 15, 14, 13, Debian Sid, Wheezy and Squeeze …
When I am launching player. It is asking me to compile modules, but it fails as shown in screenshots.
Please give your inputs...
Thanks

Run this from the command line:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Then start the vm player.

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL 4-kernel 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELhugemem

All
I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.i386.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message:
before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
kernel headers 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem
kernel headers for version 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem were not found...
I've already searched both on google and on Oracle website for a package containing this version of kernel headers, but didn't find them.
I've did an up2date -i kernel-devel, some kernel headers got installed, but it seems they are at the wrong version:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# ls -la /usr/src/kernels/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 4 2008 ..
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 1 09:42 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-i686
As far as I can see, I have two paths for solving this:
1: update the running kernel to 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686 - in order to do that I'll have to restart the machine, which is quite risky because this is an important machine used for many projects and I do not have physical access to it; in case something goes wrong I'll have to make an SR to the GIT guys, and pray for a quick resolution
2. find this particular version on kernel headers (2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem), install them in a non-standard location and then point vmplayer installer to that location in order to compile and plug them into the running kernel
Questions:
- If I choose the 2nd path:
-- where can I find this particular kernel headers version?
-- after vmplayer compiles them, will it request a machine restart, or plugging them into the running kernel will be possible without restart?
-- I already did an up2date -u, so the entire system excepting the running kernel is updated to whatever is in Oracle's internal repositories. Will this conflict somehow with an older running kernel and modules?
-If I choose the 1th path (update the kernel itself and reboot the machine):
-- will then vmplayer be able to compile and install the kernel modules without asking for another restart?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Any idea is appreciated, even pointing me to someone in Oracle that might help (I am an Oracle employee) would be useful.
Regards
Serban

Thanks for your reply Joe. I did not realise that I shall search for the package name without "ELHugemem" part since the headers are probably the same. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
So I downloaded the i686 package, but now I get this message:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# rpm -iv kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
warning: kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2
Preparing packages for installation...
package kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL) is already installed
I am not sure if I shall do a "rpm -ivf" for this package, forcing it to install. Will this command install the package alongside the existing one, or will it overwrite it? My guess is that it will install it alongside the existing one, but since this system is an important one I would prefer to ask before doing any stupid mistake...

Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Anyone succeded in installing VMware-Player 3.1.5?

I tried the same thing as for 3.1 and didn't succeeded. I looked at that previous post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100128

Did anyone try to install VMware player using the official installer?
When it asks for the system services directory I give it "/etc/rc.d"
After installation:
No rc*.d style init script directories were given to the installer. You must manually add the necessary links to ensure that the vmware service at /etc/rc.d/vmware is automatically started and stopped on startup and shutdown.
I think the crucial part is to
# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d
# mkdir /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d
I just wonder if a dummy vmware-package could be constructed which just does that. There would be the benefit that these directories could also be easily removed.

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL and running into an error

I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.13.*.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message :

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Avi for the pointer.
I did a 'sudo -su ' and ran 'rpm -ivh kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.EL.i686.rpm' and it went through successfully.
But then when I launched VMPlayer, a popup came up saying " Before you run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.". I clicked on 'Install' to continue.
Another popup came up saying "Failed to run /usr/bin/vmware-gksu '/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig' --icon='vmware-player' --appname='VMware' --gcc='/usr/bin/gcc' --headers='/lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELxenU/build/include' --gcc-ignore-minor as user root. Failed to exec new process. No such file or directory."
And then I had to exit.
This is the log contents when VMPlayer was run :

BSOD 0x0A after installing vmware player

After installing VMware player (newest version, VMware-player-3.0.1-227600) I get a blue screen on the following boot, it BSOD:s even with safe mode. On selecting the last known good configuration the error goes away.
The error code is INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (a0, IMAGE_NAME: ntkrnlmp.exe, BUCKET_ID: 0xA0_nt!PopExceptionFilter+65). Haven't seen many 0x0a errors before, googling it reveals some posts related to power supply or hibernation, but nothing related to installing vmware. Since my PSU should be of a good brand, and since the error still happens in conjuction with wmware player, it is what I suspect (haven't been using this win xp installation in about 9 months, since have been running on beta windows 7, but I don't recall having these errors before).
Obvious solution I can think of is to not install vmware player.

It has nothing to do with the hardware. Mainly vmware's problem with your Win 7 beta.

No....
That's NOT saying I won't let you know how to install it.
That's saying you CAN'T install it, that NO iOS device has EVER been able to install Flash Player, and Adobe has NEVER made a Flash Player for iOS because of that.
Apple recommends "SkyFire" browser to view content that requires Flash Player (It's free in the App Store)

How to install vmware tools in cucm on Vmware Player

I'm running CUCM 8.0.1 and Unity Connection 8.0.1 on VMWare Player. I need to install the VMWare Tools. I'm using the COP file from the CCO (ciscocm.vmtoolsUpgrade4.1-8.3.2-257589-v14.cop.sgn). However, it's not loading. I Clicked Install VMWare Tools from Player so the CDRom is mounted and has the COP file in it, but I can't seem to get the path. The connection is use physical device /dev/cdrom and I have a burned COP file in the dvd drive. I keep getting "The directory could not be located."
I have NTP enabled and "the NTP Service is accessible"
I tried the Remote File System but keep getting the error: "An unknown error occurred while accessing the upgrade file." I tried different files, e.g. locale file, but get the same error. Is there something else I need to do on the VM? The Host machine is Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.
Is there a document on this? VMWare Player is ver 6.0. The VMs were built in VMWare server 2.0 a while back.

Thanks for the link. It is for vSphere and I'm using Player so Step 2 is a little different. I choose Virtual Machine>Upgrade VMWare Tools. The settings are set to "use ISO file" and the path is to the linux.iso file.
When I run the 'utils vmtools upgrade' command, it says: "Executed command unsuccessfully, no valid command entered"
Any other procedures to try?
