Description Pawel Sedrowski 2013-08-22 08:22:12 UTC

When I try to "Enable virtual machine sharing and remote access" in Vmware Workstation the box unchecks after a second and nothing happens. I log files I find:

/var/log/messages:

Do you still have this problem?
If yes, what's your current version of Workstation and libc?
