安装vmware workstation后终端运行vmware,弹出“vmware kernel module updater”对话框，提示“Before you can run vmware,several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel”, 点击“install”按钮，最终提示service不能启动。

virtual machine communication interface ------------failed
virtual ethernet ------------failed

本人新手请各位大侠帮忙看看怎么解决，非常感谢！

PS: 安装vmware workstation过程中没有任何报错。
Ubuntu 版本：12.04
vmware workstation 版本：9.0.2

试试：

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

非常感谢这么快速的回复！！！

执行 “sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all” 还是启动不了，我网上找找有人说是“由于Ubuntu 12.04采用了较新3.2.0的内核，执行sudo vmware，直接编译内核会出现“Unable to build kernel module"的错误。解决办法是给VMware打个补丁” 但是具体怎么打补丁就没下文了，请大侠指点下吧，万分感谢！

我的ubuntu的版本是：12.04.5 内核是3.13
网上找了一个“kernel3.13 针对 Vmware安装存在的问题解决”

VMware module patches and installation
VMware Workstation 10.0.1 and Player (Plus) 6.0.1 support kernels up to 3.13.5.
3.13.6 kernels
Since 3.13.6 patching vmnet and vmblock is required.
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/bawaaaaah/vmware_patch.git
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# tar -xvf vmblock.tar
# tar -xvf vmnet.tar
# patch -p1 -i /tmp/vmware_patch/vmblock-patch-kernel-3.13
# patch -p1 -i /tmp/vmware_patch/vmnet-patch-kernel-3.13
# tar -cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
# tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# rm -r vmblock-only vmnet-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

执行后还是无法启动vmware, 难道这个解决办法是针对VMware Workstation 10.0.1 而不是我安装的VMware Workstation 9.0.2 ？？跪求高手解答

将执行 “sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all” 的命令过程贴出来。

换 wm 11 吧， 9不支持3.10以上的内核。
