I found another way to fix this problem. Use “CTRL+G” and you should be fine.

Thanks Peter.

This saved me some hassles when using Ubuntu 9.04 Kernel with Ubuntu 9.10 GTK.

FYI, for others: I just put “export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes” in /usr/bin/vmplayer.

Cheers,
Andrew

@Sotir – Why don’t you update the server (it is already fixed in the latest player/workstation so it should be in server too). I think you are accessing your vm through vnc ? If so there should not be problem when using from another server.

Hello,
I am using ubuntu 9.10 and have vmware server 2.0.
This problem appears not only when I work on the station from my localhost, but also on a station from another server (ubuntu 8.04 with vmware server 2.0).

Can you advise me where should I include this code to solve the problem?

Eric said that he put it into the .bashrc file. i put the code to /home/user/.bashrc but there is no change.

thank you in advance

Thanks. This worked. I added the line to my .bashrc file so I shouldn’t have to keep typing it in.
