      Are you using the term "root" to mean / or /root?

        You do not want VMs in the / path. Make a folder there called /data or /vms or something sensible. Then put the VMs there.

            You will still need to do a chown on the directory to make it owned by you.

            But again, abandon VMware Workstation. This isn't going to be a good choice for you.

                Are you on the current Ubuntu or an old version?

                    14.04 is quite old. 14.10 and 15.04 both replaced it and 15.10 is about to release.

                        I thought that you were no longer there and doing work at home according to the other thread.
