Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect to peer process.

The Cause

The 64 bit version of VMware depends on code that is only found in the 32 bit counterparts of its dependency packages. To fix this error, you simply need to install a 32 bit library on top of the 64 bit version you should already have installed.

Mandriva 2008 x86_64 Users

You need to install the 32 bit libxtst6-1.0.3-1mdv2008.0.i586 Package

Ubuntu Users

You need to install the 32 bit ia32-libs package. You should be able to install this by running the following command in the console:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
