[ubuntu] VMware Workstation 11 will not run on Ubuntu 15.04 (Kernel 3.19.0-15-generic)

I recently did a clean upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04 and after installing VMware I am unable to run it. When I launch VMware I receive a message stating several modules must be compiled first. I select install and got an error stating it was unable to start services. Below are the details of my machine,screenshots and the error logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not new to Ubuntu but very new to VMware so please be as descriptiveas possible with the answer. Appreciate the help in advance.
