That is the complete log that gets printed into the /tmp/ folder
I installed it via `layman -a vmware`
and then portage, I have every in the kernel compiled that has vmware in the name
Here's my .config file

Well, the Wikipage is empty, no discussion either.
Whats up with vmware on Gentoo, something shady, or perhaps fatal.
I can add the overlay and am going to try install player, but don't have a clue about use flags or likewise. |

Im using vmware-player from vmware overlay.
It just starts without any messages (/opt/vmware/bin/vmplayer) or via menu.
How are u even starting it ? Why another problem is calling for it (Calling: "/opt/vmware/bin/vmplayer")
I checked and for me /opt/vmware/bin/vmplayer is symlink to -> /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer. And its binary file not some script. No idea where your "apploader" logs come from.

maybe you should put that in there (at least, that should
be an easy fix to get started)
for reference here is my (working) /etc/vmware/config file
| Quote: | bindir = "/opt/vmware/bin"
libdir = "/opt/vmware/lib/vmware"
initscriptdir = "/etc/init.d"
authd.fullpath = "/opt/vmware/sbin/vmware-authd"
gksu.rootMethod = "su"
VMCI_CONFED = "yes"
VMBLOCK_CONFED = "yes"
VSOCK_CONFED = "yes"
NETWORKING = "yes"
player.product.version = "12.5.9"
product.buildNumber = "7535481" |
