However, the vmware interface still doesn't start up. Without your script I get a slight flash of a window being created and then destroyed and then the following console message:<br/>vmware: xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed.<br/><br/>If I use your script, it just returns to the console and nothing happens. I've also tried editing wrapper-gtk24.sh to add the lib directly there but no difference. I've tried running it as a normal user and as root but no difference. /tmp/vmware-user*.log indicates:<br/>Nov 04 21:41:38: vmui| Log for VMware Server pid=14888 version=1.0.7 build=build-108231 option=Release<br/>Nov 04 21:41:38: vmui| Gdk: locale not supported by Xlib<br/>Nov 04 21:41:38: vmui| Gdk: can not set locale modifiers<br/>Nov 04 21:41:38: vmui| Gtk: cannot open display:<br/>Any assistance appreciated.
