Hi all:
First, I have spent four hours across the internet searching for answers, so if it easy, then I have not found it. Please note I have tried.
I have attempted to install VMware-Player-5.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle on Linux Mint 13 x64 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). vmnet0 and vmnet8 will not install. I have rebooted, uninstalled, rebooted, installed, and rebooted; and nothing. Weird thing is I used a different physical machine with Mint 13 x64 to test the install before installing on my main machine and it installed perfectly. Main machine failed.
This is a home system and not commercial.
I have attached vmware-installer that was located in /var/log.
