Runing VMWare 2 console out side of firefox..

It appears that the firefox plugin of Vmware console includes the vmware remote control component!..

Here is the hack for linux to get it runing independent of firefox in ubuntu. You need to have installed the plugin into firefox first off.

cd .mozilla/firefox/<profile>/
cd extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/
cd plugins/
chmod u+x ./lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh
bin/
chmod u+x *
cd ../
./vmware-vmrc -u <user> -h <url_ip>:8333 -K
