VMWare Server Console on Firefox 3.6
Posted By Chris Stinson in Software on March 16, 2010
I just found out the hard way that VMWare Server 2.0’s Console plug-in does not work with Firefox 3.6.
Perhaps in the future VMWare will release a compatible plugin, but for now the fix is to use the console plugin for Internet Explorer, Firefox 3.5x or use VMWare Player 3.0.
The following error is what comes up in Firefox 3.6 or any other unsupported browser.
“Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out. The attempt to acquire a valid session ticket for MACHINE_NAME took longer than expected. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.”

I have workaround for this problem.
Install the vmware plugin.
goto
~/.mozilla/firefox/[your profile].default/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins
make vmware-vmrc executable
goto ./bin
make all file executable
goto ./lib
make wrapper-gtk24.sh executable
check vmware-vmrc for missing libraries (ldd vmware-vmrc)
all the missing libs can be found in ./lib
I copied the plugin dir to /usr/local/vmware
an put the missing libraries in the library path, dirty workaround but works for me/
