Upgraded Laptop from Dapper to Edgy

Tagged:

Took the plunge and upgraded the laptop just 2 days after Edgy was released. Between my DSL acting slow and the servers likely getting pounded, it took a full day to download the 1.2GB of packages. Eventually got it all upgraded, though, and all was good in Ubuntu land .... except for Vmware Workstation. The modules recompile and load fine, but the program hangs on startup. No useful info via strace.Just discovered that vmware-server-console has the same issue.....Looks like the bundled libraries with the VMware products are somehow incompatible with the new versions in Edgy. Bummer.
