Bug 456380 – Vmplayer fails to start

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andriy Baranskyy 2013-02-10 04:55:47 UTC]

After the most recent update to kde-4.10 vmplayer fails to start.The normal screen asking to select a virtual machine does not come up. Instead, it says 'Aborted' in the terminal. I could not find any other traces or reported bugs in the logs: dmesg or vmware.log (the latter one is not even created).
I have the following vmware related packages installed and recompiled just now: 
- app-emulation/vmware-modules 271.1-r1
- app-emulation/vmware-player 5.0.1.894247
- app-emulation/vmware-tools 9.2.2.894247

/etc/init.d/vmware start starts without issues.

Reproducible: Always

Apparently, this is the same issue as reported in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456262 I therefore close my bug.
