Workstation does not start on kubuntu 15.10

Hi.

After a fresh install of  kubuntu 15.10 and completely upgraded I installed workstation 11.

No error message was shown.

I launched  workstation from the menu  (/usr/bin/vmware %U)

At the task bar is seen the "launching icon" for 8 secconds and nothing else

If I try to execute /usr/bin/vmware %U from the konsole.

After 1 second i see the prompt again.

The same with "Player" and "virtual network editor".

If I try to opern abc.vmx (crated with workstation 11 in another pc) nothing happen

From the menu , with right clicking on VMWorkstation / abc.vmx this  message is shown 

KDEInit coul not launch  «/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kioexec»

Anyone has an idea for a solution??

Thanks in advanced

As I know, Ubuntu/Kubuntu 15.10 host is not officially supported by VMware Workstation 11. You can try workstation 12 if possible.
