Re: Workstation 8 + Ubuntu 13.04 Module compile er... - Page 2

Marfi · ‎04-25-2013

All,

I upgraded to 13.04, and am having some trouble getting the kernel modules to compile. I used to use the 2.6 patch, but since the new kernel is 3.8...old patch didn't work.

I did some searching and did find a 3.8 patch, however that was for Workstation 9, and not 8. Here's what I'm seeing:

Virtual machine monitor done

Virtual machine communication interface failed

VM communication interface socket family failed

Blocking file system done

Virtual ethernet done

VMware Authentication Daemon done

And my modconfig.log:

Thank you, but that doesnt help 😞

I did all the steps previously described in this thread, they had worked for me with vmware 8 + ubuntu 13.04 - but now that I upgraded to 13.10 they are no longer working and I cant launch my workstation....the patch that pivotmanz gave was probably good only for the previous version - can anyone help?

I keep getting the unable to install vmon error...

This is the script. I of course previously did the wget for the patch, but as I said, it is probably not good for the new ubuntu version.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $UID != 0 ]]; then

echo "Please run this script with sudo:"

echo "sudo $0 $*"

exit 1
