Even with the new version of [VMware Player](https://www.vmware.com/products/player/overview.html "Desktop virtualization with VMware Player") 4.0.4 you are still required to patch their sources. [So, same game as last month.](xref:update-kernel-patch-for-vmware-player-403 "Update kernel patch for VMware Player 4.0.3") Just changing the value of the required version in the kernel patch script of Stefano Angeleri (weltall) and you are done:

```
nano patch-modules_3.2.0.sh
```

Please change line 8 at the top of the script like so:

```
plreqver=4.0.4
```

Save your modification and then run the following commands:

```
sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patched  
sudo ./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh  
sudo service vmware restart
```

And again, on first start VMware will present you their EULA which you have to accept, and everything gets back to normal operation mode.

Interestingly, one day ago the [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com/ "Ubuntu Linux") repositories provided a newer kernel version 3.2.0-25, so everything is running fine for now.
