If VMware Server Console doesn't work on your Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy install, here's what to do.
If after installing, the console does not launch, but instead takes up 100% CPU until the end of days (or until you kill it), try starting the console with this command:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD vmware-server-console
This fixes some yet to be resolved issue around shared libs.
