I need to uninstall VMware Player to from my Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop. I was having problems after upgrading from Ubuntu 12.10. Seems the Kernel and C libraries are a little different. Therefore my copy of Player would not load.
I search several discussion boards and learned that if I uninstall the program and re-installed the program it might work again.
To uninstall the program open a terminal window and type the following.
sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player
You should not need to reboot when finished.
