This is what helped me

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.2.3
sudo make ; sudo make install

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

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.

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.2.3
sudo make ; sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon vmnet

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

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.

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

See:

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VM-Workstation-16-1-gt-16-2-1-on-Ubuntu-21-...

Is still working for me.

Does it now support Wayland, or still require XORG?
