The author provides a solution for Ubuntu 20.04 users to fix a problem with VMware. The steps involve checking the version of VMware, cloning a Git repository, checking out the corresponding version, and running a few commands. The author also notes that they will not use Ubuntu as their main system in the future.

My environment is Ubuntu 20.04, but it's okay if the version is different. This method is universal.

Solution, follow these steps:

Check your VM version and remember the result of this step.

vmware -v

Clone the git repository.

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git

Enter the folder.

cd vmware-host-modules

Check out the corresponding version of git, pay attention to the version number from the first step.

git checkout workstation-16.2.3

Execute the following steps in order.

make

make install

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

After completing the above steps, open a new terminal.

sudo su

sudo vmware

Okay, the problem is solved. You're done! 😆

Note on 11/3/2022:
