Then, one fine day, this error occurred could not open when starting a VM: 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. I'm not sure of the reason, but it could be, purely speculative, due to upgrading the Nvidia driver (it was akin to a visit to the dentist's office, so please do not tell me to mess around again with the graphic driver.) In pursuit of a resolution, I updated to VMware Workstation 12 using the GUI installer. gksudo bash xxxxx.bundle I assume it was smart enough to uninstall the older version before proceeding to installing the new version. All is good, except the same problem above occured when I tried to start a virtual machine.
