The same issue here.
VMware Player: 3.1.0 build-261024 Host kernel: 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If I manually start the above mentioned command 'sudo service vmware start' everything works OK until the system reboot.
This issue is just a few days old; VMPlayer worked correctly in 10.04 for months...
