Hello,
I am unable to get VMware-Player-4.0.3-703057.x86_64.bundle to work.
I install it as follows:
It seems to install OK.
But, when I click the icon to start VMware Player I get the following two pop up windows and VMware Player doesn't run.
And I'm told to look at the log file /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-13461.log which is below:
I am running the Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE Platform Version 4.8.2 on my Desktop PC with 4 GB RAM on an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz:

I don't know what I'm missing.
Thank you for your time and any assistance.
