I'd appreciate some insight. I've tried Charles's workaround here: VMware won't work after Ubuntu Upgrade which passes the first hurdle and I get a Kernel upgrade message, but then it fails to update Kernel ... fails on Vmnetwork. Output of CLI below:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

failed
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/modconfig-TrwoH8/vmnet-only] Error 2

I solved it doing.

after kernel 4.4 (VMWare Workstation 12) need some changes in c code:

/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

1) vmmon.tar

  • untar

  • change ./vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c

  • replace all:

    "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"

  • tar and replace original

2) vmnet.tar

  • untar

  • change ./vmnet-only/userif.c

  • replace all:

    "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"

  • tar and replace original

Successful compiled on FC23 FC24, FC25 (kernel 4.7)
