Install vmware8.0.4 in Ubuntu 12.04

I installed ubuntu12.04 a few days ago and never said goodbye to the win platform. However, I encountered many problems. One of them was the issue of installing VMware. I went to the VMware official website to get vm7.1.4 out of use and then installed vm7.1.6. After running VMWare, the following message is displayed:

Unable to build the kernel module.

See log file/tmp/vmware-root/setup-4383.log for details.

I guess the version is incorrect. Next I uninstalled 7.1.6.

VMware Workstation uninstall command: # vmware-installer-u vmware-Workstation

Then try 8.0.4.

Step 1: Download 8.0.4vmware workstation full. Bundle

: Https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details? Downloadgroup = WKST-804-LX & productid = 241 & download = true & fileid = 50025037 & secureparam = 2d36a8e6d8974082aa72069852970d57 & downloadtype =

Step 2:./This bundle File Installation has a problem

Then, after the downloads directory is run directly./This full. Bundle, a virtual network device is a minus sign,

Step 3: download the patch vmware802fixlinux320.tar.bz2

: Http://ishare.iask.sina.com.cn/f/24171326.html

Step 4: Extract

Tar-xjvf vmware802fixlinux320.tar.bz2 and then get two files vmware3.2.0.patch and patch-modules_3.2.0.sh (I will upload to csdn later. There is actually one on csdn, but it requires 10 points. Is it easy for us to earn points? Based on the free principle, I will skip all the points uploaded in the future.) Step 5: modify. sh file modify patch-modules_3.2.0.sh File
In row 7th, change vmreqver = 8.0.2 to vmreqver = 8.0.3, save and exit.
The command is to enter the directory in terminal, where I am in/home/username/downloads/, and then VI this file, the 7th line, and then: WQ save and exit. If it is changed. Q! This command is not saved.
Step 6: run the. Sh File
./If the patch-modules_3.2.0.sh passes through, congratulations, you just need to run VMware to use it. If you encounter
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patched found. You have already patched your source
This sentence, then. You have to continue to the next step to delete the previous configuration file;
Step 2: Enter the directory in shell and delete the. patch file. This is a hidden file that you cannot see in file system.
If you have run the same patch on version 4.0.2 before, you may get this error: "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/. Patched found.
You have already patched your sources. exiting ".
If you see that, just delete/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patchedFile and try again.
Haha, I finally got it done. I deleted all files in/usr/lib/vmware. /Usr/bin/vmware is also deleted. Then compile the./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh. And run VMware. Finally succeeded.
I have been drumming for one afternoon and now I am applying for try linkers.
