OK, so my problem isn't unique: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=470495But at least there's an easy workaround until Edgy & VMware get back on the same page. No need for the vmware-any-any patch, and it works with Workstations 5.5.2 and Server 1.0.1. Just prepend the following LD_PRELOAD setting to the command invocation:<br /><blockquote># LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 vmware</blockquote><br />

Took the plunge and upgraded the laptop just 2 days after Edgy was released. Between my DSL acting slow and the servers likely getting pounded, it took a full day to download the 1.2GB of packages. Eventually got it all upgraded, though, and all was good in Ubuntu land .... except for Vmware Workstation. The modules recompile and load fine, but the program hangs on startup. No useful info via strace.Just discovered that vmware-server-console has the same issue.....
