Hay guys

I am new to arch, my first time today using it. I am trying to install vmware workstation 12.5 but keep getting an error when launching the installer.
"User interface installization failure. Exiting"
I have made sure I have the dependencies met but I can't for the life of me figure out what wrongs.

This is the installer log from the USER :

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

And use a paste service so the log lines are not truncated: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients
