I'm running the latest kano kernel kernel-2.6.17.13-kanotix-2 and my system is up to date. As of recently(?), vmware workstation fails to start with nothing more than the messages:

% vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
%

Running vmware-any-any-update104/runme.pl does not change this. That script normally fixes up vmware after I upgrade my kanotix kernel etc.

I'm not sure what broke vmware? I probably last used vmware only a week ago. Anybody else with an up-to-date kanotix system seeing (or not seeing) this problem?

After a bit of googling I found my own solution. So for the next jockey ....

Seems libdbus-1-3 was auto installed yesterday in parallel with libdbus-1-2 and vmware was having a problem with this (the messages above are a harmless other issue). I removed the libdbus-1-2 package and vmware started fine. There were a couple of apps on my system dependent on libdbus-1-2 (xchat and bluez-pin) but I didn't use either of them so let them be deleted as well.

Solution:

open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh as root.
search for the lines
Code:
 vm_run() {
    local exitCode;


add:

Code:
   # Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
   export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD


so your new /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh looks like this:

Code:
# Run "$binary" while watching its progress on its stderr.
vm_run() {
   local exitCode;

   # Fix for vmplayer pulling in libdbus-1.so.2 instead of .3
   export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD

   # Append any libraries that are still missing.
   if [ "$VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK" = 'force' ]; then


now you can have installed libdbus-1-2/3 at the same time and vmware will run, too.
