I'm new on this forum, but not so new like Mint user.
As you can see from subject, I have a problem with running VMWare workstation. I tried everything that I found on the internet and this forum is my last hope.
Let's start frst with all what I have and what I've done.
Linux Mint 18.1 x64; Kernel 4.4.0-53; VMWare workstation 12.0.0
I installed workstation, but I cant run it. I had more problems. First was with header. I fixed it with reinstalling. Now, when I run:
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware status
Code: Select all
Module vmmon not loaded
Module vmnet loaded
Code: Select all

I hope we will come out with some solution here
Reason why I want this program on my computer is because I was running Linux on the windows host for a long time. I had some hardware problems and when I installed Linux directly on my hard, all my problems was solved Next thing that I have to do is installing OSX on the vmware. It was possible on windows cause I found some patches. I hope I'll find that patch for Linux cause I need to have all 3 OS-s.
Thanks for reading this long post and thanks for help
