I am trying to get VMWare 15 working on LL 4.4 with the 5.0 kernel since my hardware is basically new.

It installed perfectly fine. When I go to run it I get a message saying "before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel"

It gets to the end and says it cannot start services.

This is the vmware log I get afterwards.

System Specs: Intel 9700k, Intel z370 Chipset, AMD WX7100 Pro Video Card, 1TB NVME drive

You should post your log using the Post Quote option. The icon for that is located beneath the Font Size dropdown menu. It can deter people if they have to download your log as an attachment.

Can you run all your hardware on the stock 4.15 kernels?

I can't because some of the hardware does not work if I do.

I'll work on this in a VM and when I get a solution, I'll post it. Suffice to say, from the research I've done, VMware does not play nice with 4.19+ kernels.

Thank you very much!

I don't know programming but I have a lot of hardware I can test things out with at my shop if you ever need me to.

My problem is I usually upgrade my home and work pc every 3-6 months and stay bleeding edge with hardware due to what I do.

There are only a couple windows programs I need for work and they don't play well with wine.

Working perfectly here:

Code:
sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential

wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.0.4.tar.gz

tar -xzf workstation-15.0.4.tar.gz

cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-15.0.4

make

sudo make install
