TO FIX IT:

1

sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary_old

and now run vmware as root and it will build the modules again and everything will work fine.

If after reboot vmware will not start, then check if vmware service is running:

1
2

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware status
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

Enjoy

here is what you have to do:
Get the latest Wine (>= 1.1.3) from the Emulators:Wine repository.

wget http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/install/149.27/chrome_installer.exe
winetricks riched20 riched30
wine chrome_installer.exe
... click away crashes and terminate it ...
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/*/*/*/Google/Chrome/Application
wine chrome.exe --new-http --in-process-plugins

And, a screenshot:

Thanks to Marcus.

egrep '^flags.*(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo

2. create the image to hold the guest OS (10G size in this case):

qemu-img create -f qcow opensuse.img 10G

3. insert KVM kernel modules in the kernel if you compiled them as modules

sudo modprobe kvm
sudo modprobe kvm-intel (for intel processors)
sudo modprobe kvm-amd  (for amd processors)

4. copy opensuse dvd/cd on your hard disk:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/user/opensuse.iso (for cd)
dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/user/opensuse.iso (for dvd)

5. install the quest:

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom /home/user/opensuse.iso -hda opensuse.img

6. start your new installed system:

qemu-system-x86_64 opensuse.img

Do you want more?
* use -m parameter to specify the ammount of RAM for virtual machine (default 128MB)
* use -incoming [protocol:params] if you want to move your virtual machine
on the other machine
* check http://kvm.qumranet.com for documentation
