VMWare Kernel Modules will not compile or update on Ubuntu 12.04
- by IsaacS
Kernel Module Update was required when opening VMWare client (vmplayer) then following error occurs. Any idea would be appreciated.
Unable to start services.
See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-NNN.log for details (Note: NNN looks like random numbers)
On GUI that show progress of updating, "Virtual Netowork Device" show red flag appears. Content of .log file is here: http://pastebin.com/wEKT5UHf
This page suggests installing linux-headers-generic and build-essential, which are already installed on mine (thus no good).
This could be 1st execution of vmplayer on my machine since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 from 11.10.
Environment: VMware Player 4.0.3 build-703057
