VMware 15 not working on Ubuntu 19.04

Milo83! I also have this problem and the code below worked for me.

#!/bin/bash

#make sure you have git. if you don't, run: sudo apt-get install git

#copy and paste this code into a .sh file. e.g. vmwareFix.sh

#run: chmod 744 <filename.sh, e.g. vmwareFix.sh> 

#then run this file: /path/to/this/script

VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-15.0.4

TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware

rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER

mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER

cd $TMP_FOLDER

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git

cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules

git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION

git fetch

make

sudo make install

sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1

/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

The instructions are in the comments above. Bye.
