Several modules must be compiled when running VMware Workstation on Ubuntu

Several modules must be compiled when running VMware Workstation on Ubuntu

I have a machine with Ubuntu 24.04.2 with VMware Workstation working as expected. When I connected to the machine Ubuntu told me there were packages available that can be updated inlcuding the kernel. So, I did the update and rebooted the machine. Running VMware Workstation failed with "several modules must be compiled". The fix is quite easy, run the following to fix it.

$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Notes:
- VMWare Workstation: 17.6.3
- Host: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
