hoping to get assistance on this list, as my experience is
that VMware is difficult to query successfully.<br>
<br>
I have installed Xubuntu v-14.10 in VMware Player v-7.1.0
build-2496824 for several reasons. My primary purpose was to
install xfce v-4.12 as Xubuntu seems to be the sole distro
to make it easy to upgrade xfce. Incidental, it worked
without any hitches. The other, actually more important,
reason the use as a test bed before installing new
applications on my production machine.<br>
<br>
However, to the problem.<br>
<br>
The installer installed the 3.16.0-23 kernel. Happily,
with that kerned I could access the Host C: drive. However,
updating the kernel to 3.160.31, necessitating the
reinstallati0on of vmware-tools, resulted in errors in the
reinstallation that makes the hos C: drive unavailable,<br>
<br>
It seems to me that there may be two solutions. Number one
would be to revet to the -23 kernel. Now, I am not too
thrilled with this solution1 It's been years since I've
compiled a linux kernel, about 20 r so, and I am not too
cm=comfortable with the idea of monkeying with grub.<br>
<br>
The second solution would be to successfully install
vmware-tools with the -31 kernel. The error messages I got
are in the attached log file.<br>
<br>
I hope that someone on the list has a solution.<br>
<br>
Thanks In advance.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
