== Using VMware Player to run Linux crashes with Ubuntu 16.04 as Host ==

I'm using VMware Player and have Ubuntu 16.04 as Host. 
When I launch VMware 12.5.2 it crashes.

Launching vmplayer from the command line I get this error:
E105: PANIC: VERIFY bora\vmcore\vmx\main\timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr=148722

[SOLVED] VMware CPU speed problem 
fix the issue in your '''/etc/vmware/config''' file, 
you have to add:

host.cpukHz = "2500000" 
host.noTSC = "TRUE"
ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE" 

where "X" is your CPU speed. I have a 2.5 GHz P4, so mine is 2500000.
