TEphraim · ‎08-07-2013

Hey,

I'm trying to get VMware Workstation bundle 9.0.2 running on a Ubuntu 13.10 pre but the kernel modules won't get compiled against the kernel 3.10.0-6.

Here is the log of the build scripts:

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

Hopefully the kernel 3.10 will be supported with the next bundle release.

There is a patch for VMWare WS 9.0.2 to play nice with 3.10 kernel here :

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware#3.10_kernels

Or you can wait for VMWare WS 10.0 to come out.....

I'm in the same boat. Diff Distro, same kernel. I think I will try the Workstation 10.0 Tech preview. https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/get-download?downloadGroup=WKST-TP-MAY-2013
