I couldn't run that as it's not freedomware and I won't install |
| 13 |
slaveryware. Thus, the following is without any direct experience |
| 14 |
with the program. However... |

I don't see you mention having anything for it to play. Perhaps you just |
| 17 |
considered it obvious enough not to mention, but vmplayer implies that it |
| 18 |
plays prerecorded sessions (created by the full program, which is NOT |
| 19 |
free-as-in-cost, tho I understand a trialware version is available). If |
| 20 |
you don't have any of those to play, or if the user you run vmplayer as |
| 21 |
can't access the place where the list is stored (/etc/vmware/locations |
| 22 |
from the error given) so it can't find them, naturally you'll get an error |
| 23 |
when it tries to play something it can't find. |
