I get two error messages something with the kernel module but it doesn't seem to want to proceed

What vmware version are you using?

#

it is possible to trigger just builing the kernel modules

#

I believ ethe command would be sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

#

basically ensure headers are installed, update everything else, and then run that command

#

its entirely possible it failed to install because it lacked the permission to do so

If they fail now, they will fail at rebuild anyway.

#

@shy wigeon if you need something for virtualization in linux use virt-manager or virtualbox.
