After you finish installing the Ubuntu OS for the virtual machine and restart it, you can get the following error:
-
Piix4_SMBus: 000:00:07.3: Host SMBus controller bus not enabled

This error is being caused because VMware doesn’t actually provide that level interface for CPU access, but Ubuntu try to load the kernel module anyway.

Turn off the virtual machine and open the folder that contains the virtual machine you have installed. Find the file "Ubuntu-Desktop.vmx" and open it by notepad to fix it.
