On first run, VMWare produces an error stating: Workstation 10.0.6 downloaded and installed without any issues. This is what I've tried so far, but growing increasingly desperate: So I decided to carry on trying to fix this myself. T15:04:23.290Z| vthread-3| I120: Building module with command '/usr/bin/make -j8 -C /tmp/modconfig-TT9hWO/vmnet-only auto-build HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc IS_GCC_3=no' T15:04:23.290Z| vthread-3| I120: Successfully extracted the vmnet source. T15:04:23.286Z| vthread-3| I120: Extracting the vmnet source from '/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar'. Upon checking the log file, the last couple of entries are (can get more if required): T15:04:23.286Z| vthread-3| I120: Setting destination path for vmnet to '/lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic/misc/vmnet.ko'. When I try to run the application it produces an alert which tells me to check a log file. The only thing that I ask is that people explain how to do certain steps, for instance instead of saying 'just untar the tarball edit the '*.config' file, would you please explain how to do that? My thinking is that it's better to start from a known point and post everything that goes wrong individually so that it helps others with the same problem rather than starting halfway through the fix. I have uninstalled VMWare and reinstalled it to get back to a known point and will happily cover old ground again to try and resolve the issue. I've tried the vast majority of posts I have found on this topic and none of them have resolved my issue. I'm having trouble installing and running VMWare Workstation 10 on Ubuntu 14.04.
