How to Fix VMWare Player Error on Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid
Well, there is no fix, are just some discussions about some way to fix with patches from pastie.org but that thing doesn't work on 32 Bit machine because of new Linux Kernel 3.19 probably. It may work maybe on 64 bit machine using last VMware Player 7.1.0 ( VMware-Player-7.1.0.x86_64.bundle.tar )
The only thing remained to be made is to remove the VMWare Player and to import the VMDK ( Virtual Machine Disk ) from VMWare Player into VirtualBox :)
Not every VMDK will work, Ubuntu VMDK works fine , even the old 10.04 LTS. Windows7 works also fine, only the Windows Xp is crashing.
