same problem here, without any errors at all however. Vmplayer broke a couple of days ago and wouldnt run until i followed the notes on earlier Bug #47792 report... Note that the initial install of vmplayer ran fine, but broke a few days ago after an update. (libpng update perhaps? using adept updater)...after reinstalls and making the changes specified in the AM bug report...it now runs only as sudo.
Changes were detailed in bug47792 and required sym links to stop vmplayer from accessing two libpng libs......no idea how to get it running as non root (sudo).... advise No errors print out however. When vmplayer runs it asked if i want to update ....i havent so far. -- VMWare Player only runs with root privileges https://launchpad.net/bugs/67460 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
