I just installed VMware Workstation 8.0.3 on ubuntu 12.04. Everytime it starts up it says that vmware needs ~/.vmware
to save preferences and that it is unable to create ~/.vmware
.
But ~/.vmware
is already a directory. How do I get this resolved?
root
(but there are other possible causes too). Please edit your question to add the output of these three commands (run them in the Terminal, which you can open by pressingCtrl
+Alt
+T
): [1]ls -ldh ~/.vmware
[2]ls -lRh ~/.vmware
[3]df -h
Please also add the complete and exact text of the error messages, as well as the the text you get in the Terminal when you try to startvmware
there (when it's not already running).
