Virtual Network Device unable to load/compile-VM Player 4.0.2 in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2

[traditionalist]

OK. System is finally running stable, ( On the current stable final release of 12.04). I removed "unity" altogether and use "Gnome Classic". Since doing this no problems with logins or system breaks. I have installed a lot of stuff and am extremely pleased with the results.

Since the VMware player now runs fine I don't need to try anything else.

Thanks to those who provided the solution and patch.

I installed vmware player 4.0.2 and had the same problem as the OP. The patch fixed it all up. Just updated to 4.0.3 and back to square one but now the patch won't execute and gives an error message saying it is specifically for 4.0.2.

Does anyone know where I can find a similar patch for 4.0.3?

gedit patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

Change the line to:

plreqver=4.0.3

Then do this if you are upgrading from 4.0.2:

sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patched

Then install the patch:

sudo ./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

gedit patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

Change the line to:

plreqver=4.0.3

Then do this if you are upgrading from 4.0.2:

sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patched

Then install the patch:

sudo ./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

I have the same problem after doing a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 64bit and downloading a vmplayer 4.03. I've tried changing "plreqver=4.0.2" to "plreqver=4.0.3" but i get an error on line 42 "patch: command not found".

Any ideas

thanks

I also was getting the error:

./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh: line 42: patch: command not found

As mentioned in a previous post, you need to insta ll the "patch" utility:

sudo apt-get install patch

Once I had the "patch" utility, and made the modifications to the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh file (on lines 27, 28, 28), as mentioned earlier, the vmware patch installed fine and I can run vmware player.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions,
Brendan
