Problem: The kernel already has this update.
How can I make the Player run?
In detail:
For my openSUSE Leap 15.0 64bit I downloaded VMware-Player-14.1.3-9474260.x86_64.bundle
After logon as the user who shall run the Player I opened an Xterm.
su root
sh VMware-Player-14.1.3-9474260.x86_64.bundle
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module canberra-gtk-module: libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
But the Installer startet and claimed "Installation was successful." at the end.
When I then tried to start the Player it did not work:
"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 4.12.14-lp150.12.16-default
were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions."
<Cancel>
uname -r answers 4.12.14-lp150.12.16-default
That means the kernel which the Player asks for is installed.
My PC has an Intel Core i5-3570 processor and 8 GB RAM.
