Player 12.0.1 on Ubuntu 15.10 doesn't start

[Russel827]

I just upgraded vmware player  to the version 12.0.1. When I try to start vmware it simply does nothing. No messages, no errors, no flashes, no nothing.

I have added error from log file /tmp/vmware-user# tail vmware-apploader-9383.log

Execute following commands in your terminal

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ echo /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1 | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.conf

$ ldconfig
