The Kernel/OS update fixed it automatically on 2 machines, after I did the update, rebooted, re-started Player.  Player gave that "I have to compile drivers..." message then it completed without error and everything works. On ONE machine it was not automatic.  I had to do the update, then follow the instructions to re-sign the drivers.  And then it still would not load until after a few more re-boots and re-signs.  Then it started to work.  Weird. if your getting the missing driver error, keep at it.  If its some other error please elaborate.

Great news! The latest kernel and OS updates for Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS have fixed it! The kernel has also updated to: uname -a Linux developer1 6.2.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jul 13    

Same problem with VMware Player 17.0.2 build-21581411 Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS uanme -a Linux developer1 5.19.0-46-generic #47~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Jun 21 15:35:31 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I did the driver signing procedure that worked under Ubuntu 20.04. But I have read around that there appears to be a problem with it under this new kernel. I have not figured out yet whether this is a: 1. Problem with Ubuntu's internal DKMS and mok system not working with the new kernel, or 2. This new kernel expects a different signing system that VMware has to support? A quick way to expose the error: sudo modprobe vmnet modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vmnet': Key was rejected by service
