I've recently updated VMware Server Console packages in my repository to version 1.0.8 and made them available for Intrepid Ibex, but when I tried to install them on Kubuntu, I found they don't work because of this error:

/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: symbol lookup error: 
 /usr/lib32/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_thread_gettime

If you're experiencing the same problem, here's a workaround.

I searched the web for an hint, but all I could find was a couple bugfix (1 and 2) which don't solve my problem.

So, with a discrete amount of patience, I've built a patch; I publish it here to be used while waiting for an official fix.

I've replaced some of the libraries distributed with the console using older ones. It seems that VMware Server Console doesn't like the new graphical libraries...

Please note that this hasn't been deeply tested and that it's been put together by trial and errors, so it might not work on your system or, even worse, break it.

If you're interested in giving it a try, please go to VMware Server section.
