j'arrive à démarrer la console de vmware mais...

[support4sale]

Bon voilà, on y arrive:

vmware
/opt/vmware/server/lib/bin/vmware: /opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
Fontconfig warning: line 32: unknown element "cachedir"
Fontconfig warning: line 33: unknown element "cachedir"
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf", line 18: invalid match target "scan"

et en plus je ne peux pas démarrer la moindre machine virtuelle.

Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error:
End of error message.

Je crois que le service vmmon (moniteur de machines virtuelles) n'est pas démarré par défaut :
/etc/init.d/vmware start
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ]
* Virtual machine monitor [ !! ]
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ]
* Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ !! ]
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) [ ok ]
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) [ ok ]
* NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 [ !! ]
de plus, le fichier not_configured dans /etc/vmware/ persiste à revenir.
