So, this may be more than a minor bug, and a kludge or VMware upgrade (to Workstation 12) may be all that's available.

(for instance a VM that you use to test your Autopilot deployment.) Open up your VMware Workstation app, click on the Create a New Virtual Machine button. If you have an existing VM with Windows 10 for instance, you can choose to edit that VM to make it compatible with Windows 11. I should note that Ubuntu 16.04 is not a supported host operating system for VMware Workstation 11, according to the VMware online documentation. In this demo I will create a new VM to install Windows 11 on. Instead, one must look up the code the poster cites, re-enter it in the terminal, and then launch VMware from the terminal.Īny thoughts for getting VMware to install and run on Ubuntu 16.04 other than by kludge would be most gratefully received. (b) Neither solution persists after closing the terminal shell. (a) In neither case will VMware launch upon clicking the icon, as was the case before the Ubuntu upgrade. The patch was applied using software-packages commands. Haven't tried with PowerCLI yet, that might work. Currently the workaround from VMWare support is to resize VM disks from ESXi host management consoles. You can manually check for the update from the Help -> Software Updates menu item.

VMware Workstation 11 will prompt you to download the update the next time you run it. According to VMware Workstation Pro developers, customers running Workstation 15.0 can resolve the issue by upgrading to the latest Workstation 15.5 free upgrade. Upgraded the first of 3 vcsa servers we run, and post upgrade we're seeing errors in the web console, and we're unable to resize VM disks. VMware Player 7.1.0 is a maintenance release that is a free update for all VMware Player 7.x customers. The remaining problems, obviously profound, are: The VMware Workstation Pro program should now work without any issues on your Windows 10 version 1903. The post suggested two solutions, one 'temporary' and the other 'permanent.'

Uninstalling and re-installing has no effect. Briefly, VMware Workstation 11 does not launch after an Ubuntu upgrade. A similar problem was noted at Problems starting VMware Workstation 11 on Ubuntu 16.04 after upgrade from 14.04.
