Thanks,

Editing wrapper-gtk24.sh did the trick for me

Thanks!

2009-10-26 Thread sdowney717
this fixes the problem for me, mouse is now working

create this file using the bin/bash text. 
give it a name like VMlaunch.sh
make it executable
run it and it loads the VMware machine

#!/bin/bash

# Call VMWare Server's Remote Console in a clean GTK setup.


# Clean GTK setup for VMWare
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes

# Find console executable in Firefox plugins.
vmrc="$(find "$HOME/.mozilla/firefox" -name vmware-vmrc -type f -perm -111 | 
tail -1)"
[ -x "$vmrc" ] || exit 1

set -x
cd "$(dirname "$vmrc")" && "$vmrc" -h 127.0.0.1:8333

It should also be possible to run Firefox by VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes firefox 
in your Linux command line to fix the GTK issue.

[Bug 460531] Re: wmware console mouse movement drops mouse at screen edge

2009-10-26 Thread sdowney717
still keep seeing this in comments as a problem in new version of GTK+
http://www.rootloot.de/blog/vmware_in_ubuntu_karmic
and this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289847

After recently upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Beta I noticed some
problems when installing VMware Workstation or VMware Player. After
installing and following the steps mentioned in the VMware forums to
compile the modules for the new kernel, the Application finally started.

However, there still seems to be a problem with mouse and keyboard
focusing in the guest OS. Apperently this is caused by a new version of
GTK+. The good news is, that never Versions of VMware ship with their
own compatible version GTK+.

In order to use these shiped versions, just set the according
environment variable

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
 or
export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force

You may append this to /etc/vmware/bootstrap for example to automate the
setting before starting VMware Workstation or VMware Player. The ony
downside of this sollution is that your application now does not use the
system default GTK+ style, so it might pop out a bit from your other
windows.
