I try to install VMWARE 2 Beta on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy by follow this step (from ubuntu-tutorials.com)

How to install VMware Server 2.0 Beta in Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”

Download VMware Server 2.0 Beta available from the VMware website. Write down the serial number it generates for you at registration.
Unpack this archive to a location on your machine (perhaps /tmp).
Before you configure and compile VMware Server we need to disable ipv6 support in Ubuntu as it is not currently compatible.
sudo aptitude install build-essential xinetd
cd /tmp/vmware-server-distrib ; sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Answer the questions presented during the installation. The defaults should be safe in most cases.
Because Ubuntu does not use the root user account we also need to setup access for your main user. Replace root with your username on line 10 of: /etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml (ACEDataUser).
At this point I had to restart my machine to put the changes in place. I did try restarting the service(s) after changing the config, but it still didn’t allow access.
Access your VMware Server via http://localhost:8222 or https://localhost:8333
Accessing the remote console tab to view your virtual machine will also require an extension installed to Firefox. This also requires a browser restart after the extension is installed.
