vmware broken on Debian Sid

Mike — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 14:43:00 -0400

Just as PB had predicted, my vmware console stopped working after upgrading to the latest Sid. Herewith, a fix, as written by wegface on the vmware community board...

fix is as following:
open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh as root.
search for the lines:
vm_run() {
local exitCode;

add:
# Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD

so your new /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh looks like this:
# Run "$binary" while watching its progress on its stderr.
vm_run() {
local exitCode;

# Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD

# Append any libraries that are still missing.
if [ "$VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK" = 'force' ]; then

now you can have installed libdbus-1-2/3 at the same time and vmware will run, too.

Thanks to Roughnecks from the kanotix linux forum for this fix. I can confirm it works fine
