N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

  • What do you need that repository for? Who added it to your Ubuntu installation? It does not belong to the default repositories.

  1. There aren't any packages for Ubuntu 17.10 in ppa:ehoover/compholio, so remove this ppa from your software sources:



    sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ehoover/compholio 
    sudo apt update


  2. Download the latest VMware Workstation Player for Linux version from the official VMware website.



  3. Change directories using cd to the directory that the VMware .bundle file that you download is in:



    cd /path/to/directory/that/contains/VMware-bundle 



  4. Make the VMware Player bundle file executable.



    chmod +x VMware-Player-14.1.1-7528167.x86_64.bundle 



  5. Install VMware Player.



    sudo sh ./VMware-Player-14.1.1-7528167.x86_64.bundle 



  6. Install Open VMware Tools for virtual machines hosted on VMware. It is a suite of virtualization utilities and drivers to improve the functionality, user experience and administration of VMware virtual machines.



    sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop
