問題描述
上周比較閑升級了Kali內核從5.7.0升級到5.8.0，更新完又出現了VMware-workstation無法啟動的情況！點擊VMware圖標后無任何響應無任何報錯，本以為是之前更新造作系統導致vmmon-only無法啟動造成。故直接運行之前寫好的腳本，腳本內容和具體執行方法可參見上一篇博文：永久解決Linux更新后Vmware無法打開提示“kernel module updater”
排查過程
首先運行了升級腳本，結果發現腳本中有報錯信息：
⚡ ~ ./vmware-update.sh
Cloning into 'vmware-host-modules'...

Switched to a new branch 'workstation-15.5.1'
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Branch workstation-15.5.1 has been retired on 2020-08-20 and has not been
* receiving any updates since. Please switch to latest 15.5.x version
* available.

* Latest kernel version this branch is intended to work with is 5.7.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
從上面的信息可以看出，是因為我安裝的VMware Workstion版本為15.5.1，並且在2020-8-20日就停止維護了。最下面一行也說明了15.5.x最后一次更新僅僅支持5.7的內核。得到這些信息就分析出了無法啟動的原因，接下來就是如何最小變動的情況下升級VMware Workstion。
升級VMware Workstion
首先前往VMware官網下載最新版本，官方下載地址。
下載下來的是bundle后綴安裝文件，需要通過chmod +x賦予執行權限。然后直接在終端中執行即可，執行過程如下：
⚡ Soft-linux ./VMware-Workstation-Full-16.0.0-16894299.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
[######################################################################] 100%
The system is up to date.
這種升級方式需要注意：舊版本的VMware無需卸載，直接安裝新版本即可。這樣可以保持VMware原有版本相關的配置不變，包括vmnet的配置也都會保留。更新完成之后如果直接打開會提示vmmon相關服務沒有升級的提醒，這里忘了截圖遇到這個問題只需要修改我們之前的腳本並運行即可。腳本只需要將其中的“VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-15.5.1”修改為”VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-16.0.0“。執行過程如下：
⚡ ~ vmware-installer -l

激活VMware
上述過程都結束后，新版本的VMware便安裝好了。這時點擊VMware圖標，根據提示選擇同意相關license要求，最后輸入許可證密鑰即可完成新版本VMware激活。
