Hi Zenmebcomcast.

 

   You  may want to   try the following.

 

1)  Completely remove WS TP.  You could use KB 38  but I prefer the following which I've developed over many months.

----------------------------------------------

su

 

/usr/bin/vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

 

**** keep configuration files -no *******

 

/etc/init.d/vmware stop
lsmod | grep vm
cd /lib/modules/kernel_version/misc
mv vm* /tmp

 

rmmod vmnet.o
rmmod vmmon.o
rmmod vmci.o
rmmod vmblock.o
rmmod vmppuser.o

 

rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc2.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc5.d/*vmware*
rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc6.d/*vmware*

 

rm -rf /etc/vmware*
rm -rf /usr/bin/vm*
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware*
rm -fr /var/run/vm*
rm -fr /var/log/vmware*
rm -fr /tmp/vmware*

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

2)  The install the bundle.  WS will be installed - but the modules are not yet compiled.

 

3)  Use the following patches and scripts from ArchLinux Wiki.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

cd /tmp
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# tar -xvf vmblock.tar
# tar -xvf vmnet.tar
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# tar -cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
# tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# rm -r vmblock-only
# rm -r vmnet-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Works for me on Ubuntu 13.10 and openSUSE 13.1  May work on Fedora 19 as well.
