per risolvere il probelma è bastato scaricare la patch a quel sito, (quella relativa alla versione di vmware player che avevo) e poi come sempre:
tar zxvf patch.tar.gz
e poi lanciare un semplice bash ./patch.sh
ps:in realtà avevo trovato una patch ma evidentemente era sbagliata invece questa è ok ;)

[SYSTEM_OVERIDE]

per risolvere il probelma è bastato scaricare la patch a quel sito, (quella relativa alla versione di vmware player che avevo) e poi come sempre:
tar zxvf patch.tar.gz
e poi lanciare un semplice bash ./patch.sh
ps:in realtà avevo trovato una patch ma evidentemente era sbagliata invece questa è ok ;)

Grazie per averlo riportato, magari servirà a qualcun altro :)

UP, un piccolo up per segnalare che se avete kernel > 3.2.x e player > 4.0.2 si può fare con una piccola correzione, riporto il mio esempio:
little up to report that if someone have kernel > 3.2.x and player > 4.0.2 can be done with a little workaround, my example:

Code Select Expand

noyse@dog:~$ vmplayer -v
VMware Player 4.0.4 build-744019
noyse@dog:~$ uname -r
3.4.0-030400-generic-pae
- scaricare la patch da qui [ 0 ]  download the patch
- con il vostro editor preferito modificate:  edit with your editor

Code Select Expand

nano patch-modules_3.2.0.sh
modificate questa linea con la vostra versione del player, this line must be changed with your own version
plreqver=4.0.4
- applicate la patch, apply the patch

Code Select Expand

sudo ./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh
- riavviate il sistema!!!! ho perso quasi 1 ora! reboot the system!!!
- una volta riavviato se avviate il player funzionerà tutto alla perfezione, after reboot start vmplayer and all work perfect!
