I have this issue.

Install VMWare Player on Ubuntu 22.04 (kernel 5.17)

And I followed the answer provided. On the last command:

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

It fails with this:

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support. Segmentation fault

I find many repeats of this in the VMWare logs if I try to start VMWare Player and it tried to compile the modules into the Kernel:

Great question - I might have the solution you are looking for. Per this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYAdPOSxh8c, you should try running these commands in sequence, and it will resolve the issue.

sudo apt install libaio1

sudo apt install build-essential

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

sudo apt install gcc9

Rerun the sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all command, and enjoy!
