VMware Studio 2.0 and VMware Workstation 6.5.x
Today, I built an appliance in VMware Studio 2.0 using VMware Workstation 6.5.2 for provisioning on Ubuntu (9.10). According to the documentation, this is a mostly supported configuration, but it took me quite a while to get it working.
After looking at files in /tmp while VMware Studio was attempting to bring up a machine, I discovered VMware Studio was attempting to execute '/usr/bin/vmrun' in an ssh session without passing 'nogui'. The result was vmrun would fail as there was no X environment to make it happy.
I couldn't find a way to pass 'nogui' to vmrun, so I renamed vmrun to vmrun.bin and wrote a wrapper named vmrun that passed all the arguments to vmrun.bin with nogui appended to the end.
