[12:37] <jrib> !vmware
[12:37] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[12:37] <jrib> that is one package from multiverse
[12:37] <jrib> did you install vmware-player?
[12:38] <traubisoda> the problem is a little complex cuz when i tried to install vmware server, it recomended gcc 4.2.3 but i have an older version, so the installation wasn't correct
[12:39] <traubisoda> and now i can't uninstall vmware
[12:39] <traubisoda> and my x-server isn't workink correct
[12:40] <jrib> so there is more to the promblem than "the wiki page doesn't work"
[12:40] <jrib> traubisoda: what does "my x-server isn't workink correct" mean exactly?
[12:41] <traubisoda> it have kinda win98 looking
[12:41] <jrib> did it give you any messages when it started?
[12:41] <traubisoda> no
[12:41] <jrib> paste a screenshot, I don't understand what it means to look like win98

[12:45] <jrib> traubisoda: everything looks fine to me... do you not like the window borders?
[12:46] <traubisoda> before the vmware install, the cursor and the windows borders were defferent
[12:46] <traubisoda> but they were on default settings
[12:47] <jrib> go to system -> preferences themes
[12:48] <traubisoda> there's only one custom theme
[12:48] <jrib> how did you try to do this vmware install that broke things?
[12:48] <traubisoda> i downloaded it from the offical site
[12:48] <jrib> you may have killed gnome-settings-daemon
[12:48] <traubisoda> how can i restart it?
[12:49] <jrib> lets see what caused it first
[12:49] <traubisoda> okay
[12:50] <traubisoda> so after i downloaded and extracted it i started to install
[12:51] <traubisoda> in the middle of the installation, it said that i should update gcc to 4.2.3, cuz i have an older version, and the installation may crush
[12:52] <traubisoda> but i tried to install anyway because i didn't find any tutorial or something to update gcc
[12:52] <jrib> why do you want vmware server instead of vmware player
[12:53] <jrib> or... is this server or player?
[12:53] <traubisoda> i don't know the difference ^^
[12:53] <traubisoda> it's server
[12:53] <jrib> uninstall it
[12:53] <traubisoda> i've already tried it
[12:54] <traubisoda> but it said that i have to reconfigure vmware
[12:54] <jrib> pastebin the command you did and all of its output
[12:54] <traubisoda> okay
[12:56] <traubisoda> http://pastebin.com/m7a16fab2
[12:56] <traubisoda> and when i try to uninstall: http://pastebin.com/m39bc2318
[12:59] <jrib> the error says the problem is you are using gcc 4.2.3.  How did you get that since it is not in the repos?
[12:59] <traubisoda> good question :S i don't know
[13:00] <traubisoda> i didn't installed in manualy
[13:00] <jrib> what does 'apt-cache policy gcc' say?
[13:01] <traubisoda> http://pastebin.com/m7be38cc7
[13:01] <jrib> what does 'lsb_release -c' return?
[13:02] <traubisoda> codename : lenny
[13:02] <jrib> are you using ubuntu?
[13:02] <traubisoda> no
[13:02] <jrib> traubisoda: ask in #debian
[13:03] <traubisoda> okay
[13:03] <traubisoda> thx for your time
[13:04] <jrib>   you need to sort out your gcc versions which is debian-specific because ubuntu does not have those versions.  You probably just need to dowgrade or somehow install and specify the right version.  Then it should work.
[13:04] <jrib> or just leave
[13:04] <jrib> ...
[13:04] <Caleb_Estartes> Lame. ~.~
[13:05] <Caleb_Estartes> I've got to leave too, but I'll probably be back.  I've only got one ethernet connection and have to switch between computers...  ugh.
[13:05] <Caleb_Estartes> Thanks for the help though.
