Ubuntu 19.04 - VMWare kernel modules updater
I had the same problem and I fixed it like this.
Downloaded this link:
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/w15.0.4-k5.0.tar.gz
Extracted the files.
Then ran these commands from terminal of the folder:
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
Yes. I'm running Pop!_OS 19.04. Fixed my VMWare this morning. I'm running workstation 15.04. I used the vmware-host-modules package over at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.
When you get there, click on the master branch, and change it to the VMware product that you have. Then follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
When it is done, restart and it should be working.
