After a catastrophic cascading failure of so many different parts of my system, I was glad to find I had my VMs still in good shape. Or so I thought. During the process of recovery, I did some long needed upgrades, and found that any of my VMs I wanted to run showed up as corrupt.
A bit of digging, it turns out this sometimes happens with an upgrade. In some of those cases, the lock files (*.lck) are the problem. Bueno! Easy to fix. Except it didn't fix it. Restart Fusion, still no bueno. Apparently someone at VMware can take the vmware.log file and re-create the vmx for you. I'm hoping that person is watching this thread and can get my vmx back for me. Andre (a.p.), if you're out there, or if there's a new Andre, please help. I've attached the vmware.log and the Ubuntu.vmx that's apparently corrupt.
