vmware player unable to start services in ubuntu

I have some issue running VM Ware Workstation Player 12 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

first I Download and install "VMware-Player-12.1.1-3770994.x86_64.bundle" using this command :

chmod +x ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle

gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle

the installation finished successfully but when i tried to Create a Windows 7 Virtual Machine i got these errors : enter image description here

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded. Failed to initialize monitor device. and after i run this command :

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

just figured out some of the services failed running :

Starting VMware services:

Virtual machine monitor
failed
Virtual machine communication interface
done
VM communication interface socket family
done
Blocking file system
done
Virtual ethernet
failed
VMware Authentication Daemon
done
Unable to start services

how can i fix these issue. thanks

Solution

  • I Found the Answer, it's all about Secure Boot that should be disabled while creating new virtual machines in VMWare Player or Oracle VirtualBOX.
