I want to uninstall VMware Workstation 10.0.3 from my Ubuntu 14.04. I used the '.bundle' file to install VMware Workstation.

Answer 2

You can try manual uninstall:

Prepend all commands with sudo, or switch to root using this command:

sudo su

Shut down all VMware applications and services.

/etc/init.d/vmware stop 

Verify that all processes have stopped:

lsmod | grep vm

Note: A zero must be listed beside VMware related modules to indicate that they are no longer running.

Move the VMware libraries to the /tmp directory:

cd /lib/modules/kernel_version/misc
mv vm* /tmp

Note: If the kernel has ever been updated, you must check and move the files from multiple paths. Substitute the kernel version where indicated above.

Unload the kernel modules:

rmmod vmnet.o
rmmod vmmon.o
rmmod vmci.o
rmmod vmblock.o
rmmod vmppuser.o

Remove the VMware startup scripts:

rm /etc/rc2.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc3.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc5.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc6.d/*vmware*

Remove the remaining VMware files and directories:

rm -rf /etc/vmware*
rm /usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator
rm /usr/bin/vmnet*
rm -r /usr/lib/vmware*
rm -r /usr/share/doc/vmware*
