I resolved the issue for me (and hopefully for the others).

I had a standalone installation of the vmware-player already installed before. During my first installation with the ubuntu packages I tried to keep my old config files in /etc/vmware. Wiping the old configs and a fresh reinstall of the Ubuntu vmware-player package solves the problem.
