I have installed VMWare 14.0
on Ubuntu 16.04
(both 64 bit versions) following instructions here.
I made a new virtual machine to install a Windows 7 - 64 bit
, but when I want to power it on to install my ISO file, the workstation says:
Unable to change virtual machine power state: Disconnected from virtual machine.
There is no hard disk issue; I have 59G available and this VM needs maximum 40G hard disk.
What is wrong or where can I find the cause?
EDIT 1:
I have tried sudo /usr/bin/vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
; this is what I've got at the end:
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Blocking file system done
Virtual ethernet failed
VMware Authentication Daemon done
Unable to start services
