My VMware Workstation 15.5 pro won't open on Linux host I installed Vmware 15.5 pro on xununtu 21.04 by installing the .bundle and executing it in the terminal but when I click on VMware workstation on player to open it, there's a little loading circle, then nothing opens. not sure if it is my terminal so here is a picture of what happens when i type "uname -r" I am not sure what is happening. Any suggestions?
