vmware-user not running in ubuntu guest

Hi,

 

I'm running an ubuntu feisty guest in vmware server 1.01, and the "autofit guest" doesn't work.

I think it's because the vmware-user process stops when the session is launched.

 

I've looked for this issue on this forum but haven't found anything similar.

I've made a symlink to vmware_drv.so in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.o, as I read vmware-user wouldn't start without it but it did not resolved the issue.

 

here is what I get when runnung vmware-user from a terminal:

 

Warning: Error in the RPC recieve loop: RpcIn: Unable to send

Warning: Another instance of VMwareUser may be running.

 

of course there is not any other vmware-user already running, only vmware-guestd:

 

ps -eaf|grep vm

root      8868     1  0 14:32 ?        00:00:02 /usr/sbin/vmware-guestd --background /var/run/vmware-guestd.pid

 

 

does anyone has ever seen this? do you have any idea on what is causing this?

 

thanks for your attention.
