I've run vmware-config.pl, but when I 'play' any vmachine, I get this error message in a dialog box: Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect to peer process. It had worked in the previous version running the same kernel. I have not rebooted the PC since then. vmware-workstation 5.0.0.13124-r2 gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r10 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch vmware 2.'play' a virtual machine Actual Results: Error message in a dialog box: Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect to peer process.
