How to run VMWare 16.2.3 on Ubuntu 22.04

Currently (2022-05-16), we cannot install and run VMWare Workstation 16.2.3 on Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS.
You can installed it and see the icon, but when you try to open it, it would ask you to install some modules and would fail.

Solution

Here is a script that are verified by me that can solve the problem.

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.2.3
sudo make ; sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon vmnet

Then you may need to reboot the host system to make VM networks working.

Conclusion

Although Ubuntu 22.04 is a LTS version, it is not stable and compatible enough to deal with daily works currently. My advice is to use Ubuntu 20.04.
