Today I installed Gnome 3 and right after that I'm unable to launch vmware workstation.
I'm using 2.6.38-ARCH on a 64bit intel with nvidia 270.30-4 drivers. Is anyone else having the same problem?

edit: Forgot to mention that after first launch vmware suggested me to update the Kernel modules. Did that. Also added the neccessary patch.

What does the Log-File say he mentions?

Nothing much, that's why I didn't include it in the first place.

same problem here. on a fresh installed system, trying to run "vmware" from console, gave me that:
No value set for `/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility'
No value set for `/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility'
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:80: error: unexpected identifier `colorize_scrollbar', expected character `}'
the log is the same as pingvin.

really seems like vmware can´t handle the GTK+ Theme used at GNOME3.
I think there cant be done much here in the Archlinux Forum in the first place. Looks more like something upstream
but im not sure at all, could also be an packaging issue which broken some shared objects

I don't think my problem is same as meijin's. I get none of the errors on console that he mentioned.

I just discovered that I can't get HAL up and running. I guess these two are related.
edit: Got HAL working, still no vmware though.

anyway, 7.1.4 works (with alot of error, but works), and dosen't need HAL

I have Vmware 7.1.4 - it is not working in vmware - hal ins't working properly with it either.
I hope this is fixed soonish - as i doubt downgrading is an option - and i require VMware for work
Man, i would have thought the gnome-developers would have atelast tested vmware?
if i run vmware as root i get this;
[root@ninez ninez]# /usr/bin/vmware

D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
as normal user it just fails, giving me no real info.
aside from that I know Hal isn't working properly.

I solve with info found at:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=93337
Tell KDE 4.6.x to use HAL.
Put a little bash script into /usr/share/kde4/env and name it, say, KDE-HAL.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
export SOLID_HAL_LEGACY=1
Add same export in autostar with gnome.

Hey thanks for the tip. worked out really well. I just had to add Hal to /etc/rc.conf. ( which i use to start manually, as i do not reboot very often, but manual start does not work in gnome3).

I'm having the same problems, I did a large pacman -Syu but I use awesome, not gnome3 (although it is installed)
