My installation of VMware Player broke when I upgraded from Ubuntu 12 to Ubuntu 13.
Now, when I run `vmplayer` I get the error:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
There's also a pop-up box that says:
Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.
There's an option to click "Install", but when I do that the program just dies.
In the logfile, everything looks okay:
2013-04-26T08:33:11.925-08:00| vthread-3| I120: Preprocessed UTS_RELEASE, got value "3.8.0-19-generic".
2013-04-26T08:33:11.925-08:00| vthread-3| I120: The header path "/lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/build/include" for the kernel "3.8.0-19-generic" is valid. Whoohoo!
2013-04-26T08:33:11.925-08:00| vthread-3| I120: The GCC version matches the kernel GCC minor version like a glove.
2013-04-26T08:33:11.925-08:00| vthread-3| I120: Relaunching with /usr/bin/vmware-gksu '/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig' --icon='vmware-player' --appname='VMware'
Any idea what the problem is?
