vmplayer problem - VMWare Kernel Module Updater doesn't run since 13.04 upgrade

Solution 1:

Found a fix for this problem. The following will force it to fix itself

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Solution 2:

I have to do one thing before your fix that I got from here: http://mergy.org/2013/03/three-tips-to-get-vmware-workstation-9-going-on-kernel-3-8-0/

So my complete fix has two steps and they would be:

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/version.h
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

On the first command change the linux headers version for the last version you have, in my case is 3.8.0-25 but i've been doing this since 3.8.0-19.
