In this video I will show you how I installed VMware Workstation 17.0.2 Player on Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur)
This is my new channel and my first video so I apologise for the quality! Thanks for watching.
VMware Workstation 17.0.2 Player may not install correctly on Ubuntu 23.10 but a few simple fixes allowed me to fix the error “Unable to install all modules”
REMEMBER TO CHECK THE ANGLE BRACKETS IN THE ‘LINE 46’ COMMAND BELOW! THEY MAY GET MANGLED BY THIS DESCRIPTION
Specifically with errors like:
make: *** [Makefile: 117: vmmon.ko] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile: 117: vmnet.ko] Error 2
