Fix Failed to Load Module ‘canberra-gtk-module’ on Ubuntu 12.04

I had the same problem! If you run the following:

env | grep -i gtk

And see the module in your path like mine:

GTK_MODULES=pantheon-filechooser-module:overlay-scrollbar

Then it means it's being set somewhere to use the pantheon which needs to be removed. I did a quick grep and found the following:

/etc/profile.d/pantheon-filechooser-module.sh:export GTK_MODULES=pantheon-filechooser-module

So did:

sudo rm /etc/profile.d/pantheon-filechooser-module.sh

Finally - I saved my GTK_MODULES variable without the filechooser in my current session so not to have to restart: (obviously yours will be different to mine)

GTK_MODULES="overlay-scrollbar"

Job Done.

The error is self explanatory that required module is not installed.

Try installing the module, that should fix the error.

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module

Note: Since VMware provides you a .bundle file which is basically an executable, it will not check the repository and install the required packages. Whenever dealing with .run or .bundle executable its best to read the README for dependencies and install them.
