Not able to start VMPlayer 2.0

[rgaelzer]

I successfully installed the package VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.x86_64.rpm on my dual core pc running Fedora Core 5.

I successfully configured with vmware-config.pl.

However, when I try to run the player I get the message:

/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:52: error: unexpected identifier `scrollbar_color', expected character `}'

Attempt to remove filter function 0x3ec2604160 user data 0x7b1900, but no such filter has been added

4955: assertion failed "!_dbus_transport_get_is_connected (connection->transport)" file "dbus-connection.c" line 1797 function dbusconnection_last_unref

Any hints? Should I patch my installation, since fedora is not an officially supported distribution?

Thank you.

rgaelzer,

Did you ever solve this problem? I am getting something similar on FC6:

assertion failed "!_dbus_transport_get_is_connected (connection->transport)" file "dbus-connection.c" line 1797 function dbusconnection_last_unref

In my case, I search for dbus-connection.c and it is not on my system. But the header file is there.

I don't get any errors on the install, just this warning:

WARNING: could not find /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/.smac_linux.x386.o.cmd for /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/smac_linux.x386.o

Actually, I just realized I booted from my FC4, custom kernel. Once I booted from my standard FC6, the install went fine. So, perhaps FC4s with custom kernels aren't the best choice if you want to run VMware Player!

thanks anyway,
