Hello
I just tried starting vmware-workstation for the first time in a few months.
Looks like there are problems with the newer kernel, as I have updates according as updates came along.
The ouput of uname -ar is
Linux lp 4.10.0-33-generic #37~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 14:07:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I attach screenshots of the messages that I get.
The following is the log file produced.
Can anyone help?
