问题描述
上周比较闲升级了Kali内核从5.7.0升级到5.8.0，更新完又出现了VMware-workstation无法启动的情况！点击VMware图标后无任何响应无任何报错，本以为是之前更新造作系统导致vmmon-only无法启动造成。故直接运行之前写好的脚本，脚本内容和具体执行方法可参见上一篇博文：永久解决Linux更新后Vmware无法打开提示“kernel module updater”
排查过程
首先运行了升级脚本，结果发现脚本中有报错信息：
⚡ � ~ � ./vmware-update.sh
Cloning into 'vmware-host-modules'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 349, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (349/349), done.

* Latest kernel version this branch is intended to work with is 5.7.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
从上面的信息可以看出，是因为我安装的VMware Workstion版本为15.5.1，并且在2020-8-20日就停止维护了。最下面一行也说明了15.5.x最后一次更新仅仅支持5.7的内核。得到这些信息就分析出了无法启动的原因，接下来就是如何最小变动的情况下升级VMware Workstion。
升级VMware Workstion
首先前往VMware官网下载最新版本，官方下载地址。
下载下来的是bundle后缀安装文件，需要通过chmod +x赋予执行权限。然后直接在终端中执行即可，执行过程如下：
⚡ � Soft-linux � ./VMware-Workstation-Full-16.0.0-16894299.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
[######################################################################] 100%
The system is up to date.
这种升级方式需要注意：旧版本的VMware无需卸载，直接安装新版本即可。这样可以保持VMware原有版本相关的配置不变，包括vmnet的配置也都会保留。更新完成之后如果直接打开会提示vmmon相关服务没有升级的提醒，这里忘了截图遇到这个问题只需要修改我们之前的脚本并运行即可。脚本只需要将其中的“VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-15.5.1”修改为”VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-16.0.0“。执行过程如下：
⚡ � ~ � vmware-installer -l

激活VMware
上述过程都结束后，新版本的VMware便安装好了。这时点击VMware图标，根据提示选择同意相关license要求，最后输入许可证密钥即可完成新版本VMware激活。
