vmware: D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

This happens on Gentoo’s vmware-workstation ebuild installation, like explained here and here the problem is you have dbus running, but not hal, simply add hal to your default startup:

rc-update add hald default

run it:

/etc/init.d/hald start
