Worked for me on 4.13.0-26-generic kernel on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. THANKS!
I became curious when I read the thread title. Exactly the same problem in all previous versions of the Player and/or Workstation I used. Windows 7, 16 GB of RAM and you could never select more than 4 GB for a machine. Why would vmware limit the max. allocatable memory to only 1/4?? Doesn't make sense to me.
Works beautifully for Ubuntu 16.04 with VMware workstation 14 Pro.
THanks for the fix.
Thanks to all who contributed to this fix! I have a somewhat different problem, in that with Kernel version 4.13, Workstation will not even compile VMnet (?), so I can't open any VMs in the fist place. Does this fix also address the kernel compatibility problem? I know there are other patches out there for the kernel bug, but how to they relate to this patch (if at all)? Thanks!
Hi,
Issue is fixed in VMware Workstation Player 14.1.1.
