Hello,
I have the same problem (kernel header 3.8.0-19-generic), but with Workstation 8. Since the patch is for Workstation 9, I assumed it will not work for me, so I tried to do:
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic/include/linux/version.h
It didn't fix the problem, I think it got worse, now I get: "Before you can run Vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel". I press "install"
and then get another error: "Ubuntu 13.04 experience a crash".
What do I do now?
:-(
Thanks in advance,
Linux Girl
