vmware player unable to start services in ubuntu
<p>I have some issue running VM Ware Workstation Player 12 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.</p>

<p>first I Download and install "VMware-Player-12.1.1-3770994.x86_64.bundle" using this command :</p>

<pre><code>chmod +x ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle

gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle
</code></pre>

<p>the installation finished successfully but when i tried to Create a Windows 7 Virtual Machine i got these errors :
<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ODvKK.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ODvKK.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make
sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.
Failed to initialize monitor device.
and after i run this command :</p>

<pre><code>vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
</code></pre>

<p>just figured out some of the services failed running :</p>

<pre><code>Starting VMware services:

Virtual machine monitor

done

done
Blocking file system
done

</code></pre>
