This is on a linux host 3.10.17 64-bit (Slackware) with VMware Player version 6.03 64 bit. When I try to install VMware tools, it pops up a dialog box for the password, except they are all garbled characters. If I try to type the password in anyway it only seems to echo one character, and then, of course, it denies permission. Even the permission-denied window has garbled unreadable characters so I am guessing that is what it is saying. This has happened on three of my Linux machines. Anyone has this happen?
