I downloaded vmplayer 6.0 and have been using it for a couple of weeks
now just fine.
Today I got a message that Fedora 19 had some updates so I did the updates.
When I try to execute vmplayer it wants to compile new modules, but
fails on the vmnet module.
vmware-modconfig-3650.log:
2014-03-06T12:14:59.763-06:00| vthread-3| I120: Extracting the vmnet

I found this on the web:
http://guide.ecsmy.com/2013/08/fedora-19-with-kernel-310-fail-to.html
When I tried to apply that patch a lot of patches failed to apply. The
date on that page is Aug 14.
I just installed vmplayer from vmware a couple of weeks ago from this site:
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0
Which shows a date of:
=======================================
# Binary DetailsVMware Player and Player Plus for Linux 64-bit operating
systems. Enter a license key into the VMware Player user interface to
enable the VMware Player Plus features.
# File NameVMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle
# Build Number1379776
# Release Date2013-10-24
# CHECKSUMSMD5SUM: fe1354b05c7d0ce1839320ab21222df5
# SHA1SUM: 8a734c7c5d02e7e94a920337ad6ab58c3301b0be
======================================
So, I am thinking that vmware has applied the previous fixes, since they
seemed to work just a couple of weeks ago without those patches.
Like I said this was working fine after I installed this vmplayer a
couple of weeks ago and only after doing a Fedora update am I now seeing
a problem.
My current kernel is:
# uname -a
Linux unknownF46D04B04638 3.13.5-101.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 25
21:25:32 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Has anyone run into this problem with vmplayer ?
Thanks
