VMware Workstation Player does not start on Fedora 23

I've recently updated to Fedora 22 23 Fedora and can no longer run VMware Workstation 12.0.1 Player.

I tried to uninstall the component using sudo vmware-Installer - components uninstall = vmware-player and then put it back, nothing will do. The installation is always successful, but when I try to run the application, it runs for a little while, then give up. I tried to uninstall it remove once again the previous configuration, but it still doesn't work.

I am running

Workstation Fedora 23

Linux kernel 4.2.6 - 300.fc23.x86_64

3.18.1 GNOME release

I got it working by following this link: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1624

It's a very simple solution. Basically, you just copy the libraries that are not in the directory of vmware.

As root, run the following commands:

# cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
# cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgio-2.0.so.0/libgio-2.0.so.0
# cp -afv /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0
# cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgmodule-2.0.so.0/libgmodule-2.0.so.0
# cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgobject-2.0.so.0/libgobject-2.0.so.0
# cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0.4600.2 libgthread-2.0.so.0/libgthread-2.0.so.0

Although I have not yet tested all virtual machines, this has at least the operational programme. It should solve the problem entirely. If for some reason vmware is not installed in/usr/lib/vmware, just replace the directory there. If you are unsure, running vmware whereis should tell you.

Edit:

I can say that this solution was able to load my virtual machines with great success. I don't need to reinstall VMWare on one of the boxes of Fedora, however (and removing the configuration files), but after that, it worked fine.

  • CD player does not start

    I'm on Windows 10 for some time now and the drive still worked normally. Since a few days, it does not start. There is no error message. I click on the shortcut and nothing happens.
    It is listed in the Task Manager, however. I tried repair and uninstall/install again. The last time a new installation has toured, but now it does not work.

    Hi matthenry79 ,

    Try right click on the shortcut and select open.

    Try running this cleanup tool to remove all the remains of the drive from the system and then try to install Reader.

    Run this cleanup tool: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs . Restart the system and try installing from this link: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

  • Windows Update don't load/Windows Media Player does not start

    On XP Home Edition SP3, the last week I not was able to get the Windows Update page to load.  There is no error message, IE8 seems to think that the loading of the page and there's code, but a blank white page in IE8. I discovered this problem after finding that Windows Media Player wouldn't start - again without error message.  I look in Task Manager, the wmplayer.exe process runs for a few seconds, then disappears.

    I have run a number of analyses of malware using Avira Free edition (now uninstalled), Spybot S & D, MalwareBytes Antimalware, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Security Essentials with no result or change.

    I reset IE8 to its default settings and now find that I can't choose a search engine or view other pages on the Microsoft support site, such as http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=assistance--il displays only the banner from the top on a white page. (I write this using Chrome).

    Other posts on the forum about the update or Media Player starts does not seem to be on other versions of Windows, and I've not found anything about problems at a time.

    Someone else met this kind of problem?

  • Visual Studio 2012 and VMWare workstation plugin does not work

    Today we moved to Visual Studio 2010 Visual Studio 2012 in our project.

    After installing VS2012, I installed VMWare workstation 9. To my surprise, it did not appear any menu in Visual Studio VMware. In the previous version, the menu item will automatically appear by the installation of VMWare. We use the VMWare plugin to debug Visual Studio applications on the virtual machine remotely.

    Does VMWare workstation 9.0 support Visual studio plugin for VS2012?

    My version of VMWare is 9.0.0 build-812388 and my version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio Premium 2012, 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL.

    The VS plugin that comes with 9 Workstation does not load in VS 2012 due to some changes in the interface COM vs.  The next update to 9 Workstation will correct this problem.

  • Network of Windows media sharing service player does not start - Vista and PS3

    I am running Vista 32 bit Home Premium and trying to share my media to DLNA on my PS3 PC using Windows Media Sharing Service. UPnP is enabled. Network discovery is turned on. File sharing is enabled. Media sharing is turned on.

    Whenever I visit Windows Media Player or try to change the setting of sharing media in network and sharing Center, there is the error message "media sharing is currently disabled, either because the sharing service is not running or your firewall settings have changed. To restart sharing, you must first confirm your settings.

    During the deactivation and reactivation of sharing multimedia files, I never see PS3 on the list (not a single unknown device appears). Also I see no Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service on the list of Services - there is no way to toggle the service or do start automatically.

    There are several user accounts on this PC and I made the changes on my admin account.

    Tried a 3rd party software Java "PS3 Media Server" and makes my Vista computer show on PS3 without parameters or modifications to firewall. This suggests that the WIFI, router, network discovery and UPnP work. I prefer to use Windows services if I would only get their work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • New player does not start after cloning?

    I'm having some problems with my hard drive, so I decided to install a new larger hard drive. I cloned my drive C using Macrium Reflect Free Edition and at first, it seemed to clone OK although I noticed that the old drive was 10mgb of used space is superior to the other.

    When I disconnected my old drive and I tried to boot from the new drive, I had a Manager directed black screen startup (?) asks me to insert a system disk and choose repair. Also, the screen said "boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible."

    When I tried to start using the drive of W7, I got the same black screen.

    If I boot using the old drive I see the new disk in drive F and it seems that all my files are there, and I can access, the data files and the system.

    When I opened disk management, both drives are shown however:

    Drive C (the old disk) Watch - healthy (System, boot, Page file, Active, Crash Dump. Primary partition).

    Drive F (the new drive)) shows only - healthy (active, primary Partition).

    Then of course some files, including the MBR were not copied. How can I copy these files to my new drive so that it starts?

    Thank you for that. I had problems to get the PC to boot from the CD using the W7 installation disc but I used the recovery disc Macrium and who recreated the MBR and now everything goes well :-)
