VMware needs to recompile the kernel modules after each kernel upgrade. We are all pretty familiar with this, since VMware requests module recompilation when launched after a kernel upgrade.
In the vast majority of the cases that will go smoothly without any hick-ups, but in rare occasions this might fail, especially after a major kernel upgrade.
The fix for this is to download the latest kernel modules for our VMware version and install them:
- Check the version of your installed VMware Player.
vmplayer --version - Get the version of your currently running kernel, in case there are multiple modules compiled for different kernel versions
uname -r - Download the appropriate vmmon and vmnet modules.
Visit: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tags
Download the appropriate module file depending on your Vmware Player version (and optionally kernel version). In this case I am running VMware Player ver. 16.2.4 and a kernel ver. of 5.19, so I would download the p16.2.4-k5.19 file. Here “p” stands for player (if you have the VMware Workstation instead, then you would download the one starting with a “w”):
- Extract the tarball file, create the tar module files and copy them over to the vmware’s source modules directory
tar -xvf vmware-host-modules-w16.2.4-k5.19.tar.gzcd vmware-host-modules-w16.2.4-k5.19tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-onlytar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-onlysudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ - Install the modules
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
You should be able to launch VMware normally now.

Thanks, it worked for me using only step 5
Hi,
Works fine for me, thank you !!
yes it can work with step 5 only if only vmware has downloaded the tarballs beforehand.

Did not work on kernel: 5.14.0-284.30.1.el9_2.x86_64
Many Thanks. It didn’t work initially, but it was my mistake because I typed the commands wrong. I wrote vmmon-only twice by mistake.
Forgot this:
Kernel 5.15.0-89-generic,
VMp 16.2.3.
Now updated to 16.2.5 and still working.
Thank you so much for the link!
Thanks so much for the approach. I tried it with “vmware-host-modules-p16.2.5” but to no avail. Seems the stddef.h include files are missing.
My system is a :
Linux xxxxx 6.8.0-35-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 20 15:51:52 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This fix does not work for me, I am running 24.04 LTS,
Linux 6.8.0-35-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 20 15:51:52 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
During make process I get “stddef.h not found” and “stdargs.h not found”. Does anybody have a solution for this.
thank zou,
this was very helpful for ubuntu22.04 with kernel5.19
