Vmware-workstation installed in ubuntu15.04 (kernel 3.19)

Install the latest version of the linux15.04 installation Vmware-workstation11, when running the GUI program appears, the VMware Kernel Module Update Prompt window, said to update Vmnet-device.

Click Install to show that installing the Vmnet component is not successful!

Workaround:

2. Enter Mware module source code directory to modify related paths

   cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

4. Unzip the Vmnet modules.

   sudo tar -xvf vmnet.tar

6. 使用你喜欢的文本编辑器打开vmnet-only/driver.csuch as: Gedit,vim,emacs, etc.

   sudo gedit vmnet-only/driver.c

8. 267 lines are modified as follows:

9. if (Filp && filp->f_op && filp->f_op->ioctl = = Vnetfileopioctl) {
        ret = Vnetfileopioctl (filp->f_dentry->d_inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); }return ret;

   Change to:

    #ifLinux_version_code < Kernel_version (3, 19, 0)if(Filp && filp->f_op && Filp->f_op->ioctl = =vnetfileopioctl) {ret = Vnetfileopioctl (filp->f_dentry->D_inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); } returnret; #else  if(Filp && filp->f_op && Filp->f_op->ioctl = =vnetfileopioctl) {ret = Vnetfileopioctl (filp->f_path.dentry->D_inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); } returnret; #endif

10. 1194 Nearby,修改如下:

    if (Filp && filp->f_dentry) {    inode = filp->f_dentry->d_inode;  err = vnetfileopioctl (inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); return err;

    More for:

    #if Linux_version_code < Kernel_version (3, 0)if (Filp && filp->f_dentry) {    = filp-& gt;f_dentry->= vnetfileopioctl (inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); return err; #else if (Filp && filp->f_path.dentry) {    = filp->f_path.dentry->=  Vnetfileopioctl (Inode, Filp, Iocmd, ioarg); return err; #endif

12. Save this file and open the vmnet-only/userif.c

        sudo gedit vmnet-only/userif.c    

13. Near the

14. 526 Line, modify the following:
    

     return  Skb_copy_ Datagram_iovec (SKB, 0 , &iov, Len); 

    Changed to:

      #if  Linux_version_code < kernel_version (3, 0) return  Skb_copy_datagram_iovec (SKB, 0 , & iov, Len);   #else  struct   Iov_iter To;iov_iter_init ( &to, READ, &iov, 1   return  skb_copy_datagram_iter (SKB, 0 , &to, Len);   #endif  

16. 保存文件，然后重新压缩


    sudo tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

18. 删除先前的解压后修改的文件

20. sudo rm -r vmnet-only

22. 再次运行The GUI (Workstation or Player) appears after the Elevation box point install and then lets it create related components.
