I've tried multiple (at least 5 now) suggested solutions to get Vmware Workstation Player 7.5 to sign the kernel module vmmon and nothing has yielded successful results.
There are two files, vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko located in /lib/modules/5.15.0-91-generic/misc. I made myself root by creating a root password and still get the same message
after entering the following command at the root prompt:
root@mike-System-Product-Name:/home/mike# modprobe -v vmmon
insmod /lib/modules/5.15.0-91-generic/misc/vmmon.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vmmon': Operation not permitted
I am going to reboot and see if I can point the bootloader to the location. This is (as mentioned) the 5th different solution I've tried and when powering on the virtual machine the complaint
remains constant - "could not open /dev/vmmon no such file or directory please make sure the kernel module is loaded.
From my (somewhat limited as I've not tried anything like this before) perspective, the file is clearly located in /lib/modules/.
It's my first post so if I've transgressed in any way by not appending this to some other thread, please accept my apologies and be kind.
Much thanks.
