Hi all,

When i started up my Ubuntu box this morning i get the following:

kev@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
VMware USB Arbitrator done
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Blocking file system done
Virtual ethernet failed

I am runniing Ubuntu 10.04 and 7.1.2 build-301548.

I a hve tried a reboot and restarting the services to no avil.

Solved this by opening the virtual network editor and clicking save.

Service starts now,

Very odd.

Cheers

When open it has a

Network configuration is missing. Ensure that /etc/vmware/networking exists.
