Hello, I am brand new to the VM world and am struggling to install VMPlayer on an Ubuntu OS. I have read up a bit on this and understand that there are compatibility issues between the VMWare Linux and Ubuntu and I need to add and modify some files to make it work. I have downloaded the VMware-Player-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundle and it will install but does not run. It appears to be looking for some specific files and cannot find them. Here are the terminal results...
root@BirdBrain:~# cd /home/ken/Downloads
root@BirdBrain:/home/ken/Downloads# ./VMware-Player-12.5.9-7535481.x86_64.bundleExtracting VMware Installer...done.

A capture of the VMPlayer install screen is attached... it says everything is O.K.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
