Installation :: VMware Player Not Compling Kernel On Ubuntu 10.10 / Solve This?
Oct 11, 2010
I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.010 - Maverick Meerkat.
Launching VMWare Player 3.1.2 I get the message: "Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into running kernel".
I click ok, but there are problems recompiling VMCI sockets.
The effect is that my windows image starts, but then crashes.
Do you have some suggestions to solve the problem ? Or is it only a problem of compilation with the new 10.10 kernel, not yet available for VMWare?

System. fedora 15, fully updated Kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.X86_64
64 bit. Gnome 3
The other day I installed VMware Player on the system when the Kernel was 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64. On running VMware player after installing the kernel-headers and gcc files the program ran fine (I did not try to install the VMware Tools). I also have not loaded the guess OS as yet.
toady I did and update in which the kernel was updated. I checked to ensure the Kernel-headers were also updated for the latest kernel.
After rebooting the machine the running kernel was then 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64. I then tried to start VMware Player. It indicated because the kernel was changed it needed to install new kernel modules, OK, It open the module screen and then crashed.
The log says it can not compile Vmmon which is the first module. it does not go any further.
Tried to installed a new copy of VMware Player over the old one but this only resulted in the same error messages.
Any ideas on how to fix this.

I recently started to use Ubuntu in VWware player on my windows-XP. I installed ubuntu 10.04 few days ago, It was working fine.
Yesterday, I compile a new kernel, kernel 2.6.33 in my vmware ubuntu 10.04. Everything went well till I did reboot. before reboot I use the command "update-grub" to make it compatible to the new kernel. BUT... after rebooting, I have a problem in loading a grub correctly. it gives me following message " [2.149136 ]kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" and I can not proceed further. I have my all data on it. I also tried to boot it from live CD but unfortunately, I can't mount the hard disk on it in order to get those data from my old Ubuntu set up.

I am using ubuntu 9.10 and the vmware player 3 was working fine. But after the kernel headers updated to 2.6.31-22 the vmware player shows the pop up and says it cannot find the kernel headers. But actually, the linux-headers-2.6.31-22-generic are installed. I tried to re-install the vmware player but with no sucess. Is there any way to correct this error.

I have a fresh installation of Fedora14_x64 and after that I have updated the OS also.
Then I have installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.x86_64.
All the installation procedure has completed successfully without any error.
But when I am going to run VMWare It is throwing some error.
I am attaching all the needed screenshot and log file also.

I installed VMWare WorkStation 7.x.x . When It started that I have taken "Kernel Header" error and It want to enter path of Kernel. I tried many commands ;
yum -y gcc kernel header
uname -r
2.6.18-238.19.1.el5xen
rpm -qa kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5
Actually, It uses same kernel but VMWare is not working. I searched about Kernel Headers error when run VMWare on Internet. But I couldn't solve my problem.

I had installed Karmik Koala on VMware� Player 3.0.1 build-227600 and it ran perfectly well for four months. Today I upgraded to Lucid Lynx (lts) from within the VMware Player. The virtual machine restarted after the installation, now I can't direct my keyboard input to log in to my Ubuntu account. The mouse works but not the keyboard. How do I resolve this mess?

I installed VMWare Player 3.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and had the program show up in the applications menu. I opened and ran a prebuilt virtual machine without any problem. After shutting down the system, the next morning Player is gone, if I try to reinstall it shows that it is already installed, and if I try to open the virtual hard drive, it says that no applications is associated with that file type. There is no Player in the list of applications.

I tried to get vmware player 7.6 to work after upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie. I downloaded kernal headers 3.16.0-4-amd 64 as the dialog box said to do. After doing that and attempting to install I got this message “C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.” At this point I wondered if it would be better to try a more recent version of Vmware player. So I downloaded Vmware Player 12.01. I could not get it to open.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-10-generic today. After a succesful update that fixed a couple of nagging problems on my laptop (nice work guys) I started VMware Workstation. I got the expected "Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled..."
The compile errors out and points to the setup log. I have searched and found several very similar posts all relating to build-essential or kernel-headers not being installed. I have verified both are installed and up to date.
Here's the important part of the log:
Code:
Jan 15 17:39:16.079: app-139708855981824| Trying to find a suitable PBM set for kernel 2.6.32-10-generic.

I've installed F13. Installer has set:
kernel-PAE-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686
Installation of VMware Workstation was ok, but at first launch it ask me for path of
kernel-headers-2.6.33.3 Why I have different versions of kernel and kernel-headers? How can I make working VMware? Installation of kernel-headers 2.6.33.3 from package-manager seems impossible.What is the path to specify kernel-headers for VMware?

Really after it VMWare anyway doesn't agree to install. Zypper says that no newer version of gcc is available. So I can't see how I can install VMWare.

When I try to install vmware-player it complains that it can't find the kernel headers for my running kernel (2.6.31-20-generic) to compile its modules. I did have this working on 9.10. No amount of googling revealed the name of the package I need to get this working in Lucid.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 in VMWare Player on my Windows 7 x64. My host video card is an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5730 with 1 GB DDR3 and I am very sure that my other specs are above par for desktop effects (i7-820QM, 8 GB DDR3 RAM). However, even though I enabled 3D acceleration for the Ubuntu virtual machine (along with 4 cores and 1 GB RAM), I can't enable desktop effects. I have successfully installed VMWare Tools. I used to use VirtualBox and with x86 Ubuntu desktop effects work.

I installed VMware Player on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine, which uses Macbuntu skin. Loaded Vista on VMware Player so I could sync my ipod... works great. One problem I want to use VMware Player's unity mode but there is no menu to select it. From all of the screen shots I have seen on the web there is suppose to be a menu bar selection at the top next to the ubuntu (apple in my case) symbol to select unity mode through... but it is no where to be found. Here is a screen shot with VMware loaded with Vista, VMware is the active window:

I recently installed VMware Player on my ASUS Eee PC 1015 which is running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. My goal is to run BT4 as a guest OS, but when I boot it from both the .iso and the .vmx I lose my mouse. After a quick Google serach I tried installing VMware Tools - no luck. I also tried using a USB mouse.

Since installing Fedora 14, I have found that everytime I run Vmware player it goes through the compile sequence. It works fine after that. It should only compile if the kernel has changed. Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas what is wrong?

I'm running OpenSUSE 11.4 x86 with KDE 4.6 and kernel version 2.6.37.6-0.5. I'm not advanced linux user, though I'm trying to use it occasionally for getting more experience. Now I want to check which of the virtualization software suits me better, I've already tried VirtualBox and now I want to try VMware. I know that it has a lot of products, but for just home use I guess that I need only player. So, when I try to find it through my default repositories, I just was able to find this vmware-guest-kmp-default . I don't know what is it, so I tried to search through the OpenSUSE Build Service, but there's also no player package. I've already downloaded the source from the official site and yes, I do know how to built binaries from the source, but I know also, that after installing in a such way, it would be difficult for the package manager to track the software, as it's not rpm. So I want to ask you first, if you know any other way, to get the RPM package of the VMware Player from any suse repository.

it?I have Ubuntu 10.10 (and Ubuntu Server) on a factory Dell Inspiron 530. It's running an Intel Pentium Duo Core CPU (1.6GHz), has 1GB RAM, and VMware Player installed. When I boot XP SP3, it runs, but randomly crashes. I managed to update IE6 to IE8 without crashing, but when I tried to download MS Office 2010 Professional (Trial), it crashed near the end of the download. I got a blue screen with the following:
"STOP: 0x0000000A, 0xB2EEf304, 0x00000002, 0x80508008
It then begins a physical dump of memory, completes, then automatically reboots XP in the virtual machine.
Every time it does this, it shows different memory addresses.
BTW, I also watched performance while doing this. As soon as CPU hit 100%, the download crashed, and soon after, XP crashed, sometimes locking up the physical machine.

I have a Linux guest OS in VMware player installed on my Linux host OS. I'm using the guest OS as a server that my host OS workstation will connect to for certain things. However, I want to run VMware player (and the guest OS it runs) headless - i.e. without its interface opening up. This is because I any commands I need to send to the server I do so using my host OS terminal, with commands such as ssh. I tried running 'vmplayer /path/to/guest-os.vmx', but that just triggers opening up the VMware player interface, which isn't what I want.
How could I make this work? Is there either a VMware-specific way, or maybe a Linux-specific way involving suppressing the interface or doing some other Linux magic related to GNOME or X or something? I've read somewhere this might be possible using VMware Server - is that true? In that case, is it actually not possible to do it in VMware Player? I hope it is possible because I really like the performance and simplicity of VMware Player and would prefer not to move to VMware Server.

I don't know if anyone else sees this, but I get some odd behaviour when using VMware Player sometimes (Ubuntu 10.10, VMware Player 3.1.2 build-301548, dual monitors).My screen locks after 5 minutes of inactivity. I run a Windows XP VM under VMware player occasionally for certain things and that has a screen-lock time of 15 minutes or so. When running the Windows VM in full-screen on one of my two monitors (not tried it on a lower res), if I place the mouse cursor on the XP VM screen and leave it for > 5 minutes, the screen does not appear to lock. I can come back to the machine and still interact with the Windows XP machine and do what I like. If I move the mouse cursor outside the bounds of the XP VM screen, then the whole screen goes black and presents me with the password prompt to unlock the machine
