vmware problem - Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect to peer process.

Hi,

Currently I am using ubuntu 8.04(x86_x64), and encounter problem when open existing vmware images. It prompt with error message "Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect to peer process". The problem solved after installing ia32-libs package.

1. $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Reconfigure again the vmware:

2. $ vmware-config.pl

Thanks for reference from "http://peterdedecker.net/blog/index.php/2005/11/25/vmware_troubles"

Cheers!
