Error Installing Vmware Workstation On Ubuntu.md

Error Installing Vmware Workstation On Ubuntu

To fix this we will need to apply this patch to filter.c in VMware Player module sources.

Step No 1

Create a file in tmp directory name filter.c.diff and copy paste the following code init.

nano /tmp/filter.c.diff

	205a206
	> #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0)
	206a208,210
	> #else
	> VNetFilterHookFn(const struct nf_hook_ops *ops,        // IN:
	> #endif
	255c259,263
	<    transmit = (hooknum == VMW_NF_INET_POST_ROUTING);
	---
	>    #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0)
	>       transmit = (hooknum == VMW_NF_INET_POST_ROUTING);
	>    #else
	>       transmit = (ops->hooknum == VMW_NF_INET_POST_ROUTING);
	>    #endif

Step No 2

	sudo -E -s
	
	cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ 
	
	cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.original
	
	tar xvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/filter.c
	
	patch vmnet-only/filter.c < /tmp/filter.c.diff
	
	tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/filter.c
	
	rm -rf vmnet-only/

After that just run vmware and it will work fine.

####Note : You also need to chown the .vmware directory otherwise your vmware changes will not save ####Example

	sudo chown -R one:one .vmware

###Where one is my username and one is my group. sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .vmware
