    [solved] vmware workstation 12 on kernel 4.10.0-33-generic (ubuntu 16.04)

    Hello I just tried starting vmware-workstation for the first time in a few months. Looks like there are problems with the newer kernel, as I have updates according as updates came along. The ouput of uname -ar is Linux lp 4.10.0-33-generic #37~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 14:07:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I attach screenshots of the messages that I get. The following is the log file produced.

    Re: vmware workstation 12 on kernel 4.10.0-33-generic (ubuntu 16.04)

    There is no issue with new kernel. I am running same one as you and my vmware 12 workstation player works fine.
    May be you can re-start your machine and try again and see if that fixes your issue.

    Re: vmware workstation 12 on kernel 4.10.0-33-generic (ubuntu 16.04)

    I restarted my laptop a few times now.
    I ensured that I'm using the most recent version of Vmware Workstation (12.5).
    Still nothing doing. Problem persists.

    Question Re: vmware workstation 12 on kernel 4.10.0-33-generic (ubuntu 16.04)

    I'm having the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04.

    I've rebooted my VM and laptop multiple times and have tried using both the NAT settings and Bridged settings that had worked with the previous kernel.

    Hi, I was having the exact same problem.

    Using Ubuntu 16.04.3, 4.10.0-33-generic and VMWare Workstation 12.5.1.

    This was output from the log file:

    After a much searching and not finding any answers I simply downloaded the installer from VMWare website (12.5.7) and did a clean install. The installer also takes care of the uninstalling of the previous version. In all it took about 5 minutes, very painless, and now it's working.

    Note: I did receive an alert notifying me of a newer version available for upgrade but I have ignored it for the time being.
