Hi,
I'm running Suse Linux 10.1 (2.6.22.17-0.1 kernel) 64 bit. VMware-player has been working fine, but I rebooted over the weekend and it's completely stopped working. When I try to start it, it just does without any kind of error message. I've got a feeling that it maybe something slese I've installed, but without any kind of error it's difficult to know where to start. Does anyone know of any kind of tools I can use to verify where or what the problem might be? I've also tried re-installing the RPM
This is what I get when I try to start it up:
vmplayer

The logfile is also similarly unhelpful:
Nov 03 07:47:17.836: app| Log for VMware Workstation pid=5520 version=6.5.0 build=build-118166 option=Release
Nov 03 07:47:17.836: app| Host codepage=UTF-8 encoding=UTF-8
Nov 03 07:47:17.836: app| Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/setup-5520.log
The vmware service appears to have started without error, and the following modules have been loaded
mnet 78276 13
vmblock 33480 3
vmci 68656 0
vmmon 88656 0
Thanks in advance for any help
Kind Regards
Mike
Found the solution here:

I changed the version of libdbus as I was trying to get Java going with Firefox. To get this to work I did the following:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD ; /usr/bin/vmplayer /vm/MY-WS/MY-WS.vmx
Cheers
