title: vmware player unable to start services in ubuntu
body: <p>I have some issue running VM Ware Workstation Player 12 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.</p>
  
  <p>first I Download and install "VMware-Player-12.1.1-3770994.x86_64.bundle" using this command :</p>
  
  <pre><code>chmod +x ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle
  
  gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-version/build_number.bundle
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the installation finished successfully but when i tried to Create a Windows 7 Virtual Machine i got these errors :
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ODvKK.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ODvKK.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make
  sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.
  Failed to initialize monitor device.
  and after i run this command :</p>
  
  <pre><code>vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
  </code></pre>
