    <description>&lt;P&gt;hi i also updated pop os to 21.10 and had the same problem. i found a solution. i keep the last working kernel. using command&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;sudo kernelstub -v -k /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.5-76051505-generic -i /boot/initrd.img-5.15.5-76051505-generic&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;after reboot you will have the old kernel which works perfect with vmware.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;now you can fix vmmon and vmnet from gui of vmware without any problems and wait for new updates which will fix the problem&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;good luck &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@DCF4E2F7991292CEECF250394DB2C2BC/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Pop!_OS 21.10, kernel 5.15.8-76051508-generic, VMware Workstation Pro 16.2.1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Successfully installed VMware WS 16.2.1.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Attempted to start the app, but VMware Kernel Module Updater failed to "install all modules ..."&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Per numerous tech support articles:&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Uninstalled VMware WS.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Ran the following, to load required kernel headers &amp;amp; environment:&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Command output reported:&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "linux-headers-5.15.8-76051508-generic is already the newest version&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (5.15.8-76051508.202112141040~1639505278~21.10~0ede46a).&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; build-essential is already the newest version (12.9ubuntu2).&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; build-essential set to manually installed.&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Reinstalled VMware WS 16.2.1, with the unfortunate same result.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can provide&amp;nbsp; logs, if actually needed; however, this is a problem which apparently continues to rear its ugly head.&amp;nbsp; Were this FOSS, it'd be one thing.&amp;nbsp; But, it's quite different, when one spends over $200 and installing on a mainstream distro.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Take a look at this git repo and see if this helps &lt;A href="https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-16.2.1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-16.2.1&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had to use it to compile vmmon and vmnet myself for Workstation 16.2.1 on Red Hat 8.5, and I am using kernel 4.18.0&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is one of the unfortunate side effects of running the latest-and-greatest kernels with software that needs to build modules for it; it's one of the reasons why I ran &lt;STRONG&gt;QEMU&lt;/STRONG&gt; for a long time before coming here. I do know that VMware Ws works with this kernel branch - currently using it on EndeavousOS (Arch-based) - but the package I use has been tweaked with the patches mentioned in &lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5531581"&gt;@mlizbeth&lt;/a&gt;'s post.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks! I was concerned that compiling the modules would require some programming chops, which I do not have. However, the INSTALL instructions seem very comprehensive &amp;amp; straightforward.&amp;nbsp; We'll see if the patches work on the Pop!_OS 5.18.8&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The hell of it is VMware WS 16.2.1 was running fine in a Pop!_OS 20.04 &amp;gt; 21.10 OS. Unfortunately, an unrelated system crash required deleting the partitions and a clean reinstall.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, this didn't work.&amp;nbsp; There were numerous error codes associated with vmmon.&amp;nbsp; Afterwards, when running VMware Workstation Pro, it unsuccessfully attempts to compile vmmon and must be closed.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

That said, I ran into this. I restored to a backup with 5.15.5. It appears to function correctly (though technically officially unsupported). I'll try this update to 5.18.8 a later time.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I was surprised to see that VMware WS 16.2.1 was running fine for you in&amp;nbsp; Pop!_OS 21.10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was unable to boot up VMware Workstation Pro as soon as I updated to Pop!_OS 21.10. Made me wish I waited before upgrading.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I attempt to launch&amp;nbsp;WS Pro 16.2.1 the "VMware Kernal Module Updater" comes up with a message stating "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel." When I click the "Install" button, the "VMware Kernal Module Updater" window pops up stating that it is "Compiling and installing following kernal modules..."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vmmon&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vmnet&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then I always get the same error window which states "Unable to installl all modules. See log for details (Exit code 1)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was planning on just waiting for VMware to release a new version to fix the issue but if WS 16.2.1 was working fine for you under Pop!_OS 21.10, i guess we both have to figure this out on our own.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>If you're trying to build kernel modules from the source tree, you need to be root.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It took a while but once &lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;sabennett&lt;/FONT&gt; spelled out the steps line by line, I finally got WS Pro 16.2.1 up and running for the first time in nearly a month.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VM-Workstation-16-1-gt-16-2-1-on-Ubuntu-21-10-broke-everything/m-p/2885277/highlight/false#M173211" target="_blank"&gt;https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VM-Workstation-16-1-gt-16-2-1-on-Ubuntu-21-10-broke-everything/m-p/2885277/highlight/false#M173211&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is a production machine. That was the last time I upgrade a kernal without verifying that WS Pro will work first. I am setting up a second popOS machine now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again &lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;DigitalDude&lt;/FONT&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>For anyone running into issues, I'm not sure the best place to post this but after a few days struggling to get VMware to run on kernel 5.13.0 I discovered that I needed to manually sign them for it to function with secure boot. &lt;A href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1348250/skipping-btf-generation-xxx-due-to-unavailability-of-vmlunux-on-ubuntu-21-04-ge" target="_blank"&gt;https://askubuntu.com/questions/1348250/skipping-btf-generation-xxx-due-to-unavailability-of-vmlunux-on-ubuntu-21-04-ge&lt;/A&gt; I only noticed because I saw that BTF warning during console compilation. If you run into the same message or otherwise find it odd that even the git repository with patches to make it compile for more modern kernels, it might be this. It seems particularly likely to happen when we're using workarounds that involve manually compiling our own modules.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Here is the solution that worked for me after hours of pinging around.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Download the bundle from VMware.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Change permissions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;sudo chmod +x &lt;SPAN&gt;VMware-Workstation-Full-xxx.xxxx.xxxx.bundle&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Run and build:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-xxx.xxxx.xxxx.bundle&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Run:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Check status:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;sudo /etc/init.d/vmware status&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Start services:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;That's it!&amp;nbsp; Now let's play with some VM's like we wanted to hours ago.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
