[Bug 59232] Re: libhal1 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu8 with new dbus breaks vmware

[LuisM]

i'm glad there is at least a workaround for this. for the mean time i
did:

sudo vim /usr/local/bin/vmware

...
# work around for bug:
# https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/59232
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3
export LD_PRELOAD
...

and saved the file.
