RE: “Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error:
End of error message.”

I changed permissions on the .vmware folder under /home/ to allow read/write for all (777) and this error went away. I’m not sure what the proper permissions should be, but it’s definately a persmissions issue.

VMs power on without issue now …

OK, a ‘killall dbus-daemon’ first, and then vmware-server-console again does the trick.

I did that, but now I get:

(0:54) [jk@ostovoima] /store/Download > vmware-server-console
process 12346: Attempt to remove filter function 0xb6ba6cd0 user data 0x88c0be8, but no such filter has been added

…and it just hangs there. What next?

Awesome. I was beginning to think I had to go back to Feisty.

Thanks! Worked like a charm!

Though my libraries were in /usr/local/lib/vmware-server-console.
