Problems with vmware-server-console in edgy eft resolved
Based on this article I was able to correct my startup problems with vmware-server-console on Ubuntu Edgy Eft.
I had been using vmware-server-console without issue on Ubuntu Dapper Drake, but after a dist-upgrade to the new edgy eft release, I was unable to start vmware-server-console. It would just sit there, never launching the GUI.
The debug messages written to the console indicated that it had a version information problem with libpng12.so.0, that libcairo required that information to start. The article above indicated that you should remove the libpng12.so.0 shipped with vmware-server-console and symlink to the ubuntu distribution installed copy.
Additionally i had to remove libdbus-1-2.
Here is the core of the instructions presented on the article above, but please read it directly as well:
* Remove the libpng12.so.0 file delivered with vmware-server-console
* Create a symbolic link from the Debian libpng to vmware-server-console directory
* remove the libdbus-1-2
