I can confirm this when I try to install this package. I get the following when I try to do a sudo aptitude install vmware-player:
#################################### Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor failed Virtual ethernet failed Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded before running this script. invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing vmware-player (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: vmware-player #################################### I tried to run vmplayer after the install and it crashed. I've attached the crash file from when it happened. These problems have only appeared after recent updates. They may be related to the new libhal, as indicated in this post on the ubuntu forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1444166&postcount=9 On another note it would be great to package vmware-server since that has been freely released as of July. -- install/uninstall doesn't complete because of broken init-script https://launchpad.net/bugs/57957 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
