Eu instalei o VMware Workstation 7.1.5 no Kuuntu 12.04 (3.2.0-26). Eu tenho corrigido VMware.
O problema é que o VMware não mostra nenhuma janela no início. Eu tentei ver se havia algum erro ao iniciar o VMware na linha de comando e aqui está a saída:

Eu ficaria grato a quem puder resolver este problema. O Vmware Player instalado com esta versão está funcionando bem.
