INSTALL VMWARE AS NORMAL
In our case we installed VMware with a bundle file. To get the bundle to run you have to chmod a+x it to be executable then run this as root:

Citar

wget https://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/file/VMware-Workstation-Full-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundle
$~: sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundle

INSTALL GCC AND BUILD-ESSENTIALS

Citar

$~: sudo apt install gcc build-essential
It should install gcc 6.3.0. You can check by typing this in CLI
$~: gcc -v

PATCH VMWARE
It may seem hard, but really, it’s easy. It’s all about patching the VM installation files. Though we want to say; do it at your own risk.

Citar

$~: sudo tar -xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar
$~: xed vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c

In vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c, around line 1162, change

Citar

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 6, 0)
retval = get_user_pages((unsigned long)uvAddr, numPages, 0, 0, ppages, NULL);
#else
retval = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, (unsigned long)uvAddr,
numPages, 0, 0, ppages, NULL);
#endif

Citar

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 10, 0)
retval = get_user_pages((unsigned long)uvAddr, numPages, 0, ppages, NULL);
#else
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 6, 0)
retval = get_user_pages((unsigned long)uvAddr, numPages, 0, 0, ppages, NULL);
#else
retval = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, (unsigned long)uvAddr,
numPages, 0, 0, ppages, NULL);
#endif
#endif

Citar

$~: sudo tar -cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar vmmon-only/
$~: sudo tar -xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
$~: sudo xed vmnet-only/userif.c

Crear el módulo

Citar

$~: sudo tar -cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar vmnet-only/

RUN VMWARE AGAIN
Now just start VMware as normal and it should install vmon and vmnet correctly.

Este parche lo testado con el vmware que hay para bajar en las instrucciones, lo único diferente es el GGC que tengo la "5.4.0 20160609", el progama arrancaa perfectamente y no se queja

Si cuando arrancais el Vmware 12 con una Mint 18 y no os salen partes del menú teneis de hacer esto

Citar

sudo xed /etc/vmware/bootstrap

Y añadir esta línea  :ok:

Citar

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK="yes"
