Dear all,
my host is a laptop, so it is shutdown and started regularly. recently I upgrade WS from 8 to 9 and since then the vmware service does not start automatically anymore. Since I start my guest on login, it is kind of annoying. It does not seem to be a problem with the modules since starting the service by hand is no problem:
> sudo service vmware status
Module vmmon loaded
Module vmnet loaded
> sudo service vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Blocking file system done
Virtual ethernet done
VMware Authentication Daemon done
Shared Memory Available done

The service seems to be set-up properply:
> /sbin/chkconfig | grep vmware
vmware 2345
vmware-USBArbitrator 2345
vmware-workstation-server off
> who -r
run-level 2 2013-05-15 20:18 last=S

The scrips in /etc/rcN.d/S20vmware are just links to ../init.d/vmware.
Anyone can tell me, what is going on? With all older versions of VMWS (I think I use it since WS5) this was never an issue.
The host runs Linux Mint Debian Edition.
Thanks and cheers,
Riko
