Starting vmware from Terminal [Error Message]

TS02 — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:17:19 GMT

OS: CentOS 7.

I wanted to start vmplayer from the terminal, but was given a message: 'Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel'.

I clicked install and both, vmmon and vmnet were installed; however when VMware started up, there were error messages in the terminal.

How can I be sure that these errors won't cause problems down the line?

Hi,

No problems down the line.

The proxy error.. is more of a notification that it didn't find a configuration file for configuring a proxy connection.
That is no problem, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the internet.
Most people don't use proxy connections..

The other 2 errors.. they are from the toolkit to draw things on screen. I've always seen some gtk errors/warnings for as long as I've used VMware Workstation/Player on Linux and have learned to ignore those.
