Well, If I don't use
# Fix for pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD
vmware fails to run. But I have changed to libdbus-1.so.2, so put
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2:$LD_PRELOAD
The program runs but still have the same browser problem with the same error message above with libdbus-1.so.3.

Here is the output of ldd -r command
:~$ ldd -r /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/libnsl.so.1 (0xa7edf000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xa7dad000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x75555000)

~$ ldd -r /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/libnsl.so.1 (0xa7f83000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xa7e51000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x75555000)

Cheers.

Just found this thread because I've got the same problem.

I used to run vmware on ubuntu 2.6.12-9-386 but it fails with 2.6.12-10-386. I tried starting it with
VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 vmware
vmware starts and I can chose my winxp to boot. The winxp booting screen appears but after a while I'm taken back to the wmware menu.

I'm grateful for any idea or hint, if you want me to post some output stuff just say a word (and excuse my english)

I've got the same problem under Debian Etch. Executing apt-get remove libdbus-1-2 (1.3 still should be installed) fixes the bug.

Hi,

thanks fo your reply. It seams to me like I don't have libdbus-1-2 installed:

user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-cache policy libdbus-1-2
W: cannot find libdbus-1-2

however, libdbus 1-1 is installed

I can confirm that removing libdbus-1-2 using:

apt-get remove libdbus-1-2

fixes the problem of vmware failing to load on Debian Etch. I received one error of:

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

when I run vmware from the command line, but VMware finds a way to continue loading itself quite nicely, whereas it spat out 3 of the above error before and just died previously. I found that copying the libpng12.so.0 from my /usr/lib/ directory did *not* allow VMware to run, though it stopped the above error message from printing out.

Had this problem fixed by removing the libdbus-1-2 which was left in repository after a hugh apt-get update on Ubuntu edgy.

Cheers,

Danny.

Add to vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh in vm_run()

# Fix for pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD

This worked for me - thanks! I had tried all the other fixes and got nothing (error message went away but it still didn't work!) and when I tried yours, I still got the error but vmware console started so I'm happy. Thanks!

I upgraded Kubuntu from dapper (6.06) to edgy (6.10) simply by changing sources.lst and running apt-get dist-upgrade and VMware stopped working. Got the same libpng error which I can get rid of using several of the previously mentioned fixes (comment out vm_append_lib 'libpng12.so.0' in the wrapper or copy the system libpng into vmware's lib directory). Unfortunately the VMware Console still didn't start. I didn't get the error anymore, but it hangs immediately.

Finally I ran
sudo apt-get remove libdbus-1-2

and it finally started working again.

this solve the problem for me (debian etch, custom kernel 2.6.20.3):

Modificar el archivo: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh

En la función: vm_run()

Code:

vm_run() {
local exitCode;
# Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD

# Append any libraries that are still missing.
