Worked like a charm! I made one small change, swapping ";" for "&&". Prolly wouldn't install anything if the first make didn't work, but just in case...

Thanks!

sudo make && sudo make install

I'm still getting an 'unable to locate /dev/vmmon' error. did I miss a step?

Re: ubuntu 22.04 install vm workstation error

steve_bakes — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 05:03:33 GMT

Try:

sudo modprobe vmmon

You may also need:

sudo modprobe vmnet

That fixed it. Should have guessed, I haven't rebooted in a while so there was no reason the new modules would be loaded.

sudo make ; sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon vmnet

This is what helped me. I added the last line of command.

Re: ubuntu 22.04 install vm workstation error

ebsf1 — Wed, 18 May 2022 15:14:09 GMT

The foregoing all have failed. Player remains unable to open a VM. Player installs. It can install a VM from ISO and run it but the VM cannot be restarted using the VM's restart command, and cannot be opened after reboot.

Over the past month:

I have attempted this on Ubuntu 20.04 and three or four reinstalls of Ubuntu 22.04.
I have attempted reinstall of VMware Player 16.2.3 fifteen or twenty times.
I have attempted every one of the foregoing recommendations at least three times.

Please see attached logs. Any suggestions that actually get the software working would be profoundly appreciated.

It works, I can run the VM, but the Network Interface goes Connected -> Disconnected and vice versa. Constantly.

gbruno — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 14:56:19 GMT

There is another solution for this problem, which is caused by an error in the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar

See:

Does it now support Wayland, or still require XORG?
