Linux vmware 编译模块失败。 Vmware player Unable to install all modules.

Vmware player Unable to install all modules. See log for details

ubuntu下的vmware play经常会让更新模块。一起点击确认就可以正常编译更新。

而且一定要编译后才能打开虚拟机系统

但是奇怪的是，最近一次点击 更新，报错：

显示的英文错误信息：

Unable to install all modules. See log for details

看了日志：

遇到问题后就google一番。

果然还是老外大神多。

翻了一个解决方案后，终于找到一个可行的。【所以必须的英语水平还是要的】

可行的方案：

去github下载最新的host-modules

https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules

下载一个最新的。

然后解压：

unzip w16.2.3-k5.17.zip

得到以下文件

INSTALL  
LICENSE  
Makefile  
README  
vmmon-only    
vmnet-only  

然后我们打包两个文件夹

vmmon-only
vmnet-only

tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

这时，文件夹下多了2个tar的文件,vmmon.tar和vmnet.tar

然后拷贝到 目录：

/usr/lib/vmware.modules.source

sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

之后可以直接编译：

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

安装完成之后，再次打开vmware player就可以看到：

这样就是成功了。
