Installing KalturaCE using VMWare on Windows
I installed the VM on a Win 2003 server and opened it with vmware server but could not login. I tried login:user and pswd:user, but they did not work. It would be much simpler to use your existing VM rather than going through the entire install with one I have just setup.

As it states in the big note
As it states in the big note at the beginning - this is outdated and VMWare distributions were stopped.
Use the vmware link
Hi,
i got mine working but it took a little work. Download the Ubuntu Server 8.041 VMWare Image and the VMware player.
Then you can Install your ubuntu Desktop plugin to get out of terminal mode.
1. run the app, then login and after logging in,
U:notroot
P:notroot
2. type in sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-desktop, it iwll prompt you for the user password to execute the command, type in notroot.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION AND ETHERNET ADAPTER WORKING CORRECTLY.
If you need help with that (Ethernet), check out the forums. BIG HELP!
If not, you will be unable to download the updates.
My download and install took a few hours, so be patient. Hope this helps!
