Just wanted to add that this affects the vmware workstation 5.5.2 but not the old vmware workstation 5.5.1 works (but needs a patch to compile the kernel modules against the newer kernel)
The "free" vmware server have the same issue as 5.5.2. -- libhal1 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu8 with new dbus breaks vmware https://launchpad.net/bugs/59232 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
