更新：在 3.13.0-29-generic 中重新启动后该问题消失。
我正在尝试在 Ubuntu 14.04、内核 3.13.0-27-generic 上安装并运行 VMWare Player。我下载并执行了最新的官方软件包 VMware-Player-6.0.2-1744117.x86_64.bundle 。但它无法构建运行所需的“vmnet”内核模块。
我已经安装了软件包linux-headers-3.13.0-27, linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic, linux-image-3.13.0-27-generic, linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic。
我尝试应用答案中描述的补丁https://askubuntu.com/a/444375/285902。这也许会改善情况，但并不能解决所有问题。
每次尝试都会创建一个文件/tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-*.log。这些文件中重复出现的一个可能问题如下：
2014-06-01T10:41:33.896-05:00| vthread-3| I120: Failed to find /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build/include/linux/version.h

但这可能并不严重，因为/lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h确实存在。除此之外，唯一引人注目的是最后两行：

使用 Google 搜索其中一些编译器消息，结果一无所获。
下一步我可以尝试什么？如果有帮助的话，我愿意切换内核版本。
答案1
您是否按照以下说明操作：这个链接？ 有一组核心实用程序默认情况下不会加载，但是却是必需的。
答案2
安装较新的内核版本并重新启动。
对我来说，使用内核 3.13.0-29-generic 时问题就消失了。
