And if you can upload the vmware-installer log under /var/log/, that will be helpful. Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 3. Re: VMWare Workstation 8 or 10 under CentOS 6.4 runs into "start ..

Please make sure the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded I checked with http://superuser.com/questions/628586/vmware-vmplayer-failing-to-launch-vm-on-ubuntu-could-not-open-dev-vmmon lsmod and it was indeed not loaded. When i try to load the module using "modprobe -v vmmon", i get the following error:- insmod /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/misc/vmmon.ko FATAL: Error inserting vmmon (/lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/misc/vmmon.ko): Invalid module format Then I found from the VMware forums the following suggestion:- sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all --appname="VMware Player" --icon="vmware-player" This does a lot of compilation, which I guess is to compile the module again, but I get the following output at the end of it:- Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor failed Virtual machine communication interface done VM communication interface socket family done Blocking file system done Virtual ethernet done VMware Authentication Daemon done Unable to start services After this I get the same error as the start of the whole process. This has got me completely stumped for 2 days now, any help will be highly appreciated :( ubuntu-12.04 vmware-player share|improve this question asked Aug 6 '13 at 12:47 xkcd 13112 migrated from serverfault.com Aug 6 '13 at 12:50 This question came from our site for system and network administrators. add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote uninstall it as root, and reinstall
