Hello,
I have a rather interesting issue with running vmware player on a fedora core 23 host with win7 guest.
each time I power off the VM and the host and reboot. vmware seems to need to update the modules regardless of whether I updated the kernel or not.
The issue appears to be one of permissions for several modules.* files in /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
Manually changing the permissions to 755 allows vmplayer to start.
Not sure why this is happening. selinux is disabled. I have added an entry in rc.local to change the permissions but they dont seem to be applied or if they are applied they are overwritten.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
