Warning, Ubuntu Karmic / VMWare Player

[Drew Van Zandt]

vmware server is equally bad, except that it fubars the i/o for my x session
until i restart.  the shift and control keys no longer work.
connecting via rdp/remote desktop also fails; linux terminal server client
just fails to connect.
can't install other remote desktop tools because i can't log in.
converting the disk image to virtualbox appears to work, then the vm hangs
during boot.  in safe mode, occurs at the agp440.xxx line.
