Vmware player and JJ broken

[Fintan]

I had a nicely running JJ daily (from today) installed on a test machine.

I installed vmware-player bundle (latest)

All went well (read write from xp guest to ext4 over samba) until reboot and then In I had no eth
(external network) connection.

Solution?
run the sh bundle script again and it uninstall vmware-player.
close and reboot.

Alpha is still alpha

Re: Vmware player and JJ broken

Same happened to me. Found this workaround. It seems that networkmanager gets confused about the virtual network interfaces that vmware creates and tries to use them as wired connections to access the internet. Not sure of the proper way to fix it, but for now this works.

WORKAROUND:
Adding the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces will fix the problem

auto vmnet1
iface vmnet1 inet manual
auto vmnet 8
iface vmnet8 inet manual

This makes network manager ignore the virtual interfaces as internet connections for me.
