$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all


I got an error, failed to install virtual ethernet:
[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

It seems that the installer can't recognize or access my network, and I can't open the Virtual Network Editor, also failed to start vmware.service:
