Re: Vmware 11+patch and pro 12 on Ubuntu 15.10 Does not start

here is what works for me, on ubuntu 15.10, GCC 5.2.1, and kernel 3.19.0-27

(thanks to : Can not install or run Vmware Player / Workstation on Linux with gcc5.1)

after a fresh install of vmware workstation 12  and with root privileges:

1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
2. tar xvf vmnet.tar
3. cd vmnet-only
4. make
5. cd ..
6. tar xvf vmmon.tar
7. cd vmmon-only
8. make
9. cd ..
10. mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
11. cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmmon.ko
12. cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmnet.ko
13. depmod -a
14. /etc/init.d/vmware restart
15. vim /usr/bin/vmware (or nano)
16. add before "set -e" :
    1. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    2. save & exit
       
17. Launch Vmware!

EDIT : You must do that each time you upgrade the kernel. i've just do that for upgrading to kernel 4.2.0-16 and that's work.

EDIT2: the last update (12.0.1 build-3160714) fix the majors problems, but you must do steps 15 - 16 -17.

Sorry for my bad english.
