VMplayer kernel issue(my solution)

[Freshnuts]

Hey guys, I noticed @ dec-2015 people are still having issues on another post. (Don't want to GD)
I was looking around google and having issues finding it. I am posting my solution.

This solution worked for me:

Downloaded:
VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle

uname -a
Linux kali 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.4-1+kali2 (2015-06-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

apt-get update

apt-get install linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-all-amd64

The result:

The following extra packages will be installed:
linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64
linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-common linux-kbuild-4.0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-all-amd64
linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64 linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-common

Afterwards, I was able to get on vmplayer just fine with no issues.

Hopefully, this helped. Cheers.
