Re: "Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded."

There is no need to reinstall.

sudo modprobe vmmon

will load the kernel module needed.

Then it may ask for vmci when the VM starts

sudo modprobe vmci

Then you should be running.

my system is ubuntu 13.04 and vmware workstation 8 X64
