I am having an issue with VMWare on Linux.After trying to launch an Ubuntu or Windows Guest on a host running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-BIT, I am presented with the following three errors:ġst: 'Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. I tried creating a new VM using UEFI and the same issue occurred.)

This completes the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server installation on VMWare Player.(EDITED TO ADD: Both Ubuntu and Windows guests are set to boot via BIOS and not UEFI.

After you enter the password, you are shown your home directory.

Enter the one which you typed in Ubuntu screen.

So just enter the user name after some time where the cursor is blinking.

The text “Enter the user name”, has scrolled above but the server still keeps on shows verbose text of other services and we kind of miss where to enter the user name.

According to the options selected, it will ask for login screen.

The installation will continue after this point.

In the Featured Server Snaps, skip everything.

You will need this later on when you connect to the server with an SSH client like putty.

In the SSH setup, select Install OpenSSH server by pressing the spacebar.

Enter the “Profile” settings in the next screen.

There will be one more confirmation about disk (virtual disk) erasing.Next screen just shows confirmation about previous selection.Next, in the Guided Storage Configuration screen, keep things as default.Next, keep the default settings in the Ubuntu Mirror url settings.In the next screen, enter the proxy server details if your machine connects to internet via a proxy server, else select “Done”.In the Network Connection screen, keep settings as default.
