Subject: [gentoo-user] vmware-player cannot start any virtual machines [solved]
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 09:26:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEH5T2M8EWZPk7pR2aOOA0+rjpxUbcTh2WcFpJtnJo9=3V9xXA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

After upgrading to nvidia-drivers-331.13 I could no longer start any
virtual machines in vmware-player (version 5.0.2.1031769). It would
either close the vmware player application immediately without any
message, or would tell me "The virtual machine is busy". No
combination of rebuilding vmware modules, rebooting, moving virtual
machines, etc. would work.

Finally I considered what has changed recently, and identified
nvidia-drivers. Downgrading it back down to version 325.15 made
everything start working normally again. Just thought I would post
here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Thanks,
Paul
