The below suggested sudo systemctl start rvice did not work for me.In this tutorial we will be learning to change the screen size of Ubuntu installed in VMware. Starting up a VM and then: $ sudo modprobe vmnet & sudo vmware-networks -start I found a workaround, but it is quite annoying, as indicated here More information can be found in the vmware.log file. T15:32:41.807+01:00| vcpu-0| I005: VNET: MACVNetPortOpenDevice: Ethernet0: can't open vmnet device (No such file or directory) This seems to be the relevant log output: T15:32:41.807+01:00| vcpu-0| I005: VNET: 'ethernet0' enable link state propagation, lsp.state = 5 Get the error Could not connect 'Ethernet0' to virtual network '/dev/vmnet8 Now I can at least load my VMs, however the vmnet module seems not to work. I figured out that you can manually load the modules and I did $ sudo modprobe -a Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

$ /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer Could not open /dev/vmmon: Cannot open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. I installed VmWare Playe anew, then applied the patches from īut when I start without the wrapper, I get vmmon error, even though my Secure Boot is disabled (as suggested by this vm-ware article: )
