It happened to me.

You have installed vmware-player + kernel from repositories and also from the official distribution.

It makes this bug.

If so... you only have to remove the repositories version of the packages and use the full version.

if you want to mantain this configuration you have to remove a file called something like notconfigured in folder /etc/vmware every time you restart the machine and want to use the full version. I should prefer the other option.

It happened to me too, because I installed the VMware Server from the Web, and WMPlayer from the repos.

There is any kind of problem with these.

Can you help with this problem?
