What version of VM Ware are you using? `Bus error` is related to `segfault`, it is basically a message stating that the program is attempting to access memory that doesn’t exist. ---

Two questions: Did you chmod +x the installer file first? Did you make sure to download the correct architecture for the Ubuntu you installed? (32- vs. 64-bit) ---

Like Kevin mentioned, make sure you have the right architecture. Otherwise, I’d try updating to player 4.0 if possible, 3.1 at the very least. It also might be worth reinstalling the guest OS just in case something got corrupted during install. ---

that seems to have fixed the issue. i had done a drag and drop to the VM from Host. this time i used a thumb drive as a temp location. MD5 is much better now. Thanks, Phil
