Hi,
I've just installed VMWare Workstation 14 on My PC with OS Ubuntu 17.10.
When attempting to run it via the vmware workstation (Edit > Virtual Network Editor), ask me password and nothing happens.
so I tried to launch the Virtual network editor via cli sudo vmware-netcfg I get prompted for root credential and then i get this error, anyone seen this that can help?
$vmware-netcfg
