Thanks a bunch for putting this together, I always like to have an idea of what’s involved before jumping into new stuff on my linux machines.

Just a dumb note for Linux amateurs like me… at the point where you’re told to “enter all the way through it” you actually want to SPACE BAR all the way through it.
This displays the eula 1 page at a time rather than 1 line at a time.

I've never had to but I am sure the VMware Converter manual has the answer you are looking for http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VMware_Converter_manual301.pdf . If I find anything I'll get back to you.

> root privileges and Ubuntu does not allow any user to have those privileges.

In ubuntu try “sudo”, it will give root privileges to the command executed e.g.:
sudo vmware-converter-client

Cannot run converter under Ubuntu because the converter wants the user to have root privileges and Ubuntu does not allow any user to have those privileges.

What to do ???

I have succesfully installed the Standalone Client, however, cannot get the “browse” button to navigate to a server file. I can see the file using the file browser under ubuntu. The file is attached to my “Netgear” router as a Readyshare drive.
