I've same problem. It seems that the problem is on file permissions: ls -la /home/sergi/.vmware/preferences -rw------- 1 root root 2158 2007-05-02 15:09 /home/sergi/.vmware/preferences
I solved the problem with: sudo chown sergi:sergi ~/.vmware/preferences Be careful dont Cut&Paste without changing sergi to your specific user! I supose that the source of the problem is executing sudo vmplayer As far as I Known, sudo don't change the $HOME variable, then if we changes preferences the file becomes a root file. The solution is not executing vmplayer with sudo or: sudo -H vmplayer -- VMWare Player only runs with root privileges https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
