If you get this Error in VMware Workstation Pro 15.5:

Unrecoverable Error buffer to small

sudo -i
export LC_ALL=C
bash VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.0-14665864.x86_64.bundle --eulas-agreed --custom 

which should fix the “Buffer too small / unrecoverable error” issue

However, as it seems, that is STILL not enough to have a working installation of VMware WS. So (again as root ) you will probably have to do

sudo -i
chmod a+r /etc/vmware/config
