I have been using either Debian or Ubuntu server to run my home server. (I’ll be blogging the final configuration when I get it done)
I kept getting the following error:
Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to connect...
It was a fairly simple fix, I just want to blog it before I forget 
You just need to install the ia32-libs:
apt-get install ia32-libs
And voila! it works!
