GTK error in VMware Player for 12.04 LTS
Installing VMware Player for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
https://www.vmware.com/go/downloadplayer
I get these errors:
$ sudo sh VMware-Player-6.0.0-1295980.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
(vmware-installer.py:8805): Gtk-WARNING **:
Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module":
libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
I have tried:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gtk2-engines
sudo apt-get install gtk-murrine-engine
sudo apt-get install gtk2-murrine-engine
sudo apt-get install gtk2-murrine-engine:i386
Has anyone fixed this?
Solution 1:
The libcanberra errors seems to be resolvable using a symbolic link as follows:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so /usr/lib/libcanberra-gtk-module.so
Also, you'll need the build-essential
, open-vm-tools
and open-vm-toolbox
packages, install them using:
sudo apt-get install build-essential open-vm-tools open-vm-toolbox

Solution 2:
Install libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a solved my problem. I am running 12.04.4.
