Vmware Workstation 6.0.2 and user

[Koybe]

Hello,

I just download the evaluation version of Vmware Workstation. It's well installed using the kernel headers. Anyway, now I can only run it using sudo. I can't use it (or even the player installed) as a user.


~$ vmware
/bin/sh: Can't open /usr/bin/vmware
~$ ls -l /usr/bin/vmware
-r-xr-x--x 1 root root 4575 2008-03-06 22:14 /usr/bin/vmware


And even if i give everyone the read permission it won't help.

Any idea?

I guess you can change the permissions:

sudo chmod 644 /usr/bin/vmware

sudo chown loginname:loginname /usr/bin/vmware

Or you could run Nautilus in root:

gksudo nautilus

Then go to /usr/bin/vmware and use permissions to change from whatever it is now to your login name.

Let us know how you are doing.

Hello, as I said before, it won't help :
~$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/vmware
:~$ vmware
/bin/sh: Can't open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.shI'm going trough a permission hell and I'm quite sure it's not the good way to go.

And yes it works fine as root but I don't want to.

Thanks.
