Assumpte: [DNG] VMware segmentation fault
It been ten years since I've installed a virtual machine under Linux,
and things have changed.

I downloaded and ran VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.x86_64.bundle to
install VMware Player with success.

Howver, I have trouble starting it. I have no desktop. Does that make
a differnce?

$ vmplayer &
[1] 25824
haines@engels:~$ /usr/bin/vmplayer: line 35: 25827 Segmentation fault
"$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Player"
--icon="vmware-player"

Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root?

$ sudo vmplayer &
[2] 25851

The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should
expect a VMware window to pop up.

I would like to run Windows 7 or 8 in a virtual machine. Any way to
get it cheaply?
