I recently did a fresh install to 15.04. I downloaded and installed vmware player, but when I go to launch it, I receive a message saying "vmware workstation several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel."

I click install so that it can proceed, but then I get an error saying that it is "unable to start services."

Any ideas of how I can get it to work again?

This can be fixed by running the following steps as Root (in a terminal):

1. log in as root (e.g. sudo -i)


2. Enter your Root password.


3. 
   

   Enter these commands:

   
   
   

   curl https://pastebin.com/raw/Z1ihzbcE -o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch
   
   
   
   cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
   
   tar -xf vmnet.tar
   
   cd vmnet-only
   
   patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch
   
   mv vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.SAVED
   
   tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
   
   rm -r vmnet-only
   
   vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Make sure to upgrade to the latest version of VMware player before trying the patch. While I was on VMware Player 6.x the patch didn't work, but on 7.1.x it worked.

This worked well for me:

For the newbies out there, This is what the commands will do by running it in terminal:

• In the folder /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source, you have to extract the vmnet-only file from vmnet.tar and make a backup of the .tar-file.




• Run the patch you downloaded from http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download before making a new vmnet.tar from the vmnet-only folder




• Delete the vmnet-only folder and do the compiling
