This will/can occur with the 5.4.x kernel series that are included in the 20.04 Focal Fossa release.īelow is a work-around for this issue derived from the great work being maintained by Michael Kubecek. Newer kernel versions have issues with building kernel modules VMMON and VMNET. The next time you start Workstation Player, the virtual machine starts from a powered-off state and the guest operating system starts.VMware Workstation/Player will fail to build kernel modules VMMON & VMNET
Workstation Player powers off the virtual machine. The next time you start Workstation Player, the virtual machine resumes operation from the point where it was suspended.
Workstation Player suspends the virtual machine. Select whether Workstation Player suspends or powers off a virtual machine when you close it.From the library, you can either open another virtual machine or edit the virtual machine settings. Workstation Player either suspends or powers off the virtual machine and returns it to the virtual machine library.
