I downloaded vmware player 4.04 and run into the problem of virtual network device fail.

After googling a bit, I found How do I install VMware Player? and applied as this answer suggest, which is the following:

1) I downloaded the tarball http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz

2) Change the plreqver=4.04

3) and run it. Everything looks working until I try to run vmware player again.

Now, it failed at the step "Virtual Machine Monitor" which was OK before I applied the patch. I guess the patch skerewed the whole VMware kernel modules.

Any help?

Open a terminal, navigate to directory where the patch is downloaded & unzipped.

Execute following

sed -i -e 's/8.0.2/8.0.4/g' patch-modules_3.2.0.sh. Re run the patch.

If you get a patch: command not found error, please install patch using

sudo apt-get install patch and rerun the patch script.

let us know how it went.
