场景
在Ubuntu 20操作系统下面安装Vmware执行开始运行，启动虚拟机发现报错
类似于下面这样的
Could not open /dev/vmmon: ?????????.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.手动启动Vmware模块，发现有两个模块启动失败
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Virtual ethernet failed
VMware Authentication Daemon done执行命令安装缺失的模块
$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
# 发现输出当中包含错误信息如下
/tmp/modconfig-DPn7nL/vmmon-only/./include/vm_asm_x86.h:67:44: error: expression in static assertion is not constant
67 | ASSERT_ON_COMPILE(sizeof(Selector) == 2 && \

.....
Unable to install all modules. See log for details.解决方案
查看VMware版本
通过安装包信息查看
在Ubuntu系统下面获取安装包的时候会下载一个*.bundle文件，该文件的文件名称就包含了版本信息，比如VMware-Workstation-Full-16.2.3-19376536.x86_64.bundle的版本就是16.2.3
如果Vmware还能正常打开，可以查看Help下面的About信息查看
安装缺失模块
需要手动去编译缺失的vmmon和vmnet模块
依赖一个git开源仓库，获取仓库
$ git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules查看分支信息
$ cd vmware-host-modules
$ git branch -a
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/player
remotes/origin/player-12.5.2
......
remotes/origin/player-15.5.6
remotes/origin/player-15.5.7
remotes/origin/workstation-14.1.3
remotes/origin/workstation-14.1.4
......
remotes/origin/workstation-16.2.1
remotes/origin/workstation-16.2.3
依据之前获取的Vmware版本信息指定分支，以workstation-*和player-*指定workstation和player版本
$ git checkout workstation-16.2.3开始编译和安装
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install查看本机内核版本
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.15.0-43-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-026) (gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34) #46~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 14 15:20:17 UTC 2022
# 或者
$ uname -r
5.15.0-43-generic可以知道目前内核版本是5.15.0-43-generic
所以执行完成之后生成的模块会安装到/lib/modules/5.15.0-43-generic/misc
$ ll /lib/modules/5.15.0-43-generic/misc

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 157K 八月 4 10:05 vmmon.ko
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92K 八月 4 10:05 vmnet.ko最后重新加载所有vmware模块服务
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done

Shared Memory Available done内核版本升级导致的问题
当编译vmmon和vmnet模块安装之后，后面如果有内核版本升级的话需要重新编译安装
之前的内核版本是5.15.0-41-generic，后来apt upgrade升级了一下发现VMware又不行了才发现有这个问题
执行重新安装发现报错
$ sudo make install
Version mismatch: module vmmon-only/vmmon.ko 5.15.0-41-generic, kernel 5.15.0-43-generic
Version mismatch: module vmnet-only/vmnet.ko 5.15.0-41-generic, kernel 5.15.0-43-generic
make: *** [Makefile:35：install] 错误 1所以需要删除之前编译好的文件，重新开始编译和安装
$ sudo make clean
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
