VMware Player certificate error in Linux

When installing a virtual machine and attempting to install VMware Tools on it it will fail complaining about being unable to check a certificate and display an error message.

A certificate error occurred for the update server. Check your Internet settings or contact your system administrator

After the ISO has been downloaded it shows the instructions for installing.


















As always the patch on github
