vmware workstation crashs while opening Virtual machine.
Hi All,
Not sure this is an already reported issue but my vmware workstation crashes while opening a VM in ubuntu. This seems to be issue with display. I have followed one of the froum and it's solution worked for me before I reinstall my Ubuntu 11.04. The solution was to add below line on vmplayer config file:
=====
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0
=====
This is the link I followed:

This doesn't seems to be working anymore. Below details are logged in vmware.log(Please check the attached log file).
Below is my system details:
