Vmware kernel module updater не работает

Ubuntu 19.04 — VMWare kernel modules updater

I ran this command:

and it returns the output

linux-headers-5.0.0-13-generic — Linux kernel headers for version 5.0.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

Then I ran the following command to update the linux headers:

Still, it gets stuck (VMware Kernel Module Updater) at the Compiling/Virtual Machine Monitor.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Extracted the files.

Then ran these commands from terminal of the folder:

tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only

tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

Yes. I’m running Pop!_OS 19.04. Fixed my VMWare this morning. I’m running workstation 15.04. I used the vmware-host-modules package over at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.

When you get there, click on the master branch, and change it to the VMware product that you have. Then follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

When it is done, restart and it should be working.

For version 14, the link is just below :

Compress also vmmon-only and vmnet-only

after changes in my ubuntu 14.04 computer (mainly related to the gcc compiler — if I understand it correctly), starting VMWare fails.

In the first step after starting, I am asked to perform a Kernel Module Update:

Before you can runVMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

I click on «install», are asked for my (sudo) password and get afterwards

See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-12819.log for details.

This file contains the following information.

How can I resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!
