I confirm that the recipe listed by Patrick (thanks!) works. Some additional notes:
It is necessary to re-run `sudo vmware-networks --start` if you reboot the host machine. I used the code in https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git for vmnet/vmmon (checkout the branch vmware-workstation-12.5.7). This includes the latest fixes to those modules, just in case. The directory /lib/modules/4.13.0-16-generic/misc didn't exist on my machine and I had to create it. Most likely this is due to uninstalling vmware 12.5.7 and reinstalling it. The reinstall was not complete because the problem described on this bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715552 Title: VMWare does not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1715552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
