workstation on linux host without GUI, service cannot start just after it installed

[user9922]

vmware-workstation-server service cannot start right after install. Tried on Ububtu and debian, both GUI and NON-GUI versions.

I prefer non-gui.

Workstation ver. 12.5.0

How do you get Workstation server up and running?
