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
