Question

I am trying to install the Vmware software in my system but the kernels it requires vmmon and vmmnet is not getting installed. I tried multiple things like installing build-essential & linux-headers-generic. I have installed libelf-dev. I tried using sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all as well.

i tried install vmware workstation 16. and workstation 15.5 as well both has same problem in my ubuntu.

I dont know if this is a right place to ask this question, if not, please do tell me where should i ask it.

I am getting the error like this. snippet of log file.I have attached log files as well. Please help.
