A few days ago, a new #Linux #Kernel was installed on my main workstation, running Linux Mint.

When I launched #VMware Workstation Player (version 17.5.2), it tried to install Kernel modules on startup. This happens after every Kernel update, usually takes a few seconds and then the UI starts up. But not today.

Here's how to fix Workstation for recent Kernel versions. 👇

Cool, but why are you using VMWare Workstation on linux? Perhaps there is a feature you need from workstation? Or perhaps you need to ship VMs to others that use VMware?

If its an option for you, Linux has builtin virtualization using libvirt/KVM without requiring out of tree kernel modules. You can take a look at Boxes. I still like virt-manager myself.
