Sorry, but I no longer work at the place I had this problem and currently I am not using VMWare. Regards, /Adam Soltan, jr.

[Bug 56286] Re: vmplayer fails to start if usernames are stored in LDAP
Hi! The problem doesn't really seem to be connected to user verification. It works just fine when the user has elevated rights like, say, root. When attempting to run vmplayer as J Random Nerd user I get the same exact error message and no VMware.

I stopped using vmware awhile ago, but unless they have stopped shipping their own libs with the vmware binaries it is very likely this issue still exists. -- vmplayer fails to start if usernames are stored in LDAP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you?

Yes, I agree that the workaround is uggly. I can not reproduce it here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ vmplayer /usr/lib/vmware-player/bin/vmplayer: /usr/lib/vmware-player/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) Nevertheless: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep lionel /etc/passwd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Do you have a home directory with write permissions on it ?

Lionel Porcheron wrote: Do you have a home directory with write permissions on it ? It seems that the problem is linked with writing something. The issue is not with write permissions in a home directory. vmplayer wants to map your UID to a username so that it can create a file called /tmp/vmware-username. The libs that vmware is shipping with vmplayer do not have the required code to successfully look up uids from an LDAP server. -- Benjamin Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- vmplayer fails to start if usernames are stored in LDAP https://launchpad.net/bugs/56286 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I use vmplayer on a system where users informations are stored in a LDAP directory and I dot not have noticed the problem. Whats the problem on you system ?

[Bug 56286] Re: vmplayer fails to start if usernames are stored in LDAP
I saw on the VMWare forums the suggestion to add a copy of the user in LDAP to my /etc/passwd. I tried that and vmplayer starts, but I don't want to use that fix. -- vmplayer fails to start if usernames are stored in LDAP https://launchpad.net/bugs/56286 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
