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. Follow steps below to fix it.
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf #add line blacklist i2c-piix4 #for older versions use blacklist i2c_piix4 (underscore) instead sudo reboot
