Problem with Workstation Player 14 Kali Linux

[alanv901207]

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out, I am running Kali Linux 2017.3, and I'm trying to get VMware player 14.0.0-6661328.x86_64 running but I can't.

It installs fine, but when i wan't to load the program, a pop up called VMware Kernel Module Updater appears and does this:

Stopping VMware Services    -->    OK

Compiling:

     Virtual Machine Moniter    --> Warning

Running depmod                   --> OK

Starting VMware Services     --> Error

Then it tells me that before I can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. I click on install and it starts al over again:

Stopping Vmware Services    -->    OK

Compiling:

     Virtual Machine Moniter    --> Warning

Running depmod                   --> OK

Starting VMware Services     --> Error

but gives me an error:

"Unable to start Services

See log file.

and it gives the "before VMware can run, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running Kernel" again, and again

Is there any solution to this? I would greatly appreciate your help. The log file is below

This is the output of the log file:

[swoot]

I discovered the fix here - Kernel – 4.14-rc1 Released – Breaks VMware and NVIDIA..  GPL Errors Again.. | Adventures With Linux ... (note: not the first solution! global_numa_pages will fail as the poster describes)

The problem was this: with the kernel upgrade, the "global_page_state" function was renamed "global_zone_page_state" (https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/commit/770c7ffe611520ac96490d235399554c64e87d9f ).

So, to fix, I copied vmmon.tar (created during the failing kernel module update process) from /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ to /tmp. I then created the folder matching that of the failing build command from the log (in my case modconfig-VFqmxS), and extracted the tar into it. Edit the file vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c, and replace all occurences (5) of "global_page_state" with "global_zone_page_state". Save and exit, run the build command. This will leave the file "vmmon.ko" in vmmon-only/ - simply move this to /lib/modules/4.14.0-kali3-amd64/misc (exact folder name will vary based on kernel header package installed).

Then starting vmware player will launch the kernel module updater, which will succeed with the vmmon module already in place and hopefully drop you straight into the GUI. Hope this works for you!

[nikoc03]

can you please be more specific to this?

1) You copied the vmmon.tar in tmp

2) you created the folder modconfig-**** (Where? So no vmnet in there?)

3) Provide the exact build command please...\

Thank you in advance
