Vmware workstation 14 arch linux free -
Well I tried to downgraded using the older versions und build numbers for vmware workstations and fusions, as well as the sha hashes, from this commit without modifying the pkgbuild any further. This should prevent the 5. You shouldn't have the day trial license unless you ask it after starting Workstation. The day message should disappear.
This file does not exist on my system. I'm getting validity check error on VMware-Workstation-Full I think there is a bug in the Linux version. I'm searching a workaround but I don't have any idea. In the worst case, you can downgrade to It should work at least until Linux 5. I hope VMware will release a fix before. According to VMware website, Player is still free of charge for personal users.
Do you think this is a bug? I am on kernel 5. If VMWare fails to load after installing In that case you should install polkit package and enable polkit.
But I'm not sure it is sufficient, I don't really know how polkit works. Installed Same behaviour with a manual installation on Arch Linux or Fedora. And it crash. I don't know what I should keep from the old one. I was prompted to enter a license key when trying to run vmplayer after upgrading to But VMware Player is supposed to be free of charge, right? Wow, not sure what you did, but my startup time for workstation has gone from 10 seconds to 2 seconds on my laptop.
Can you add StartupWMClass to the desktop app so we don't need to mannually add it every time after update? Atilir and NekoBuster: I don't have this problem on my computer. Maybe it only appears with a specific configuration. If you restart the service systemctl restart vmware-networks. If you manually reset your configuration with the command "vmware-networks --stop; vmware-networks --postinstall vmware-player,0,1; vmware-networks --start" and reconfigure it, do you still have the problem when you reboot your computer?
Atilir: same here, thinking it may be a problem introduced in the most recent update, any solutions? I get the following warning when building in a clean chroot. Is there a dependency missing, or should I just ignore that? Please include the version to ensure their uniqueness , as they otherwise don't get updated on version increment! Worked for me. Hope that helps. I am unable to start workstation through gui silent failure nor cli via 'vmware' command.
I believe it's stemming from vmware-modconfig which also gives the segfault error. Remember to install linux-headers so that the kernel modules can be compiled against it. It is listed as an optional dependency and therefore is not required to be installed. EDIT In case someone else have the same problem, disable firejail with sudo firecfg --clean Install and then re-enable firejail, solved it for me.
I get an error when trying to install. Been looking for an answer all over but not managed to find any solution yet, any ideas?
I can patch the. No big deal. Thanks again for explaining. You will only get problems if you are trying to do that using two steps. With the vmware-horizon-client maintainer and vmware-keymaps author, we had a discussion by mail and the better solution we found is to put the common files in a new package.
I understand your point of view but I don't want to come back to this decision. But, just to reassure you, these keymap files haven't been changed since at least VMware Workstation 11, so this package should be updated rarely or never. I always review what changed at each new release of an AUR package.
Basically it's a full code review at the first installation and then incremental ones which usually take less than a minute. Having an external, non-official, third-party repo makes the updates more complex. A conscious user is forced to clone the external repo manually and review it at every update.
Was it a big amount of work to maintain the keymaps? You already do a lot, so I am not pretending to change your ways. I simply want to understand :. EDIT: I see in the gitlog that this is needed for compatibility with vmware-horizon. Is there any other feasible alternative? Then, install it with the following line:. Thank you!
How can I use the overwrite option when install a package from the AUR? I usually use git clone then makepkg. I rolled back one week and run kernel 4. I will try again in a few days to update to current state and then will try again to use the package. Can you try to start VMware with the following command line:. When you update to version This is normal, the reason is that some files previously included in this package are now provided by another package vmware-keymaps which is now a dependency.
Another solution is to uninstall your current version of vmware-workstation, then build and install the new version with vmware-keymaps dependency. Installing now. Out of curiosity how did you see that commit? I am fairly new to Arch from MacOS. About 3 months now on my laptop and I love it more than any other OS but Im still working out some kinks here and there.
I really appreciate the community support. The commit d17bd2c includes some patches taken from the repo you quote in your previous post that make the package compatible with Linux 5. Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.
Specifically there error listed below. I recently upgraded to Linux Kernel 5. Does the latest package have support for this kernel? I do not see the module in the kernel modules either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 4. Is anyone else having issues with USB 3. I've been having this really annoying mouse cursor lag and beeping on my freshly installed Windows 10 guest, so I googled the symptoms and found this old reddit thread:. The symptoms are similar but not the exact same , but that bug was fixed a long time ago, and I'm on build already.
Then I tried setting the USB compatibility to 2. I don't know what causes this, some people were saying it's because of a slow CPU, but mine isn't slow, it's an i5 k. I just wonder if it's just me who's experiencing it. Can someone with a Windows 10 guest try to reproduce it? In the git repository of the package, you have to find the commit number corresponding to the version you want 40ba3a8a for VMware This is awesome.
Thank you jihem! The issue got indeed fixed with the re installation of the linux-headers and unfortunately used the official bundle I still received errors the "Missing kernel headers" when using yaourt : Name : linuxheaders Version : 3.
The virtualbox-host-dkms package also put linux-headers as optional dependency. Why the linux-headers is optional? I got the same error for vmmon on vanilla arch install too. With kernel headers it's fine. It seems that you use a real time kernel, maybe you should try with a standard kernel. You can find detailed information about installation and configuration in the Wiki. Besides, did you read the pinned comment, especially 1 there? Not a lot to find in the make. With the MB installer, the guest additions are downloaded only when you want to install them on a VM.
I don't understand why your bundle is Mb size as on vmware site the download size is only Mb. MisterPresident: I never had this issue. Does your user have sudo rights? If no, be sure to enter the root credentials when the popup ask your password. This may be because the root password is required to register your license.
Please contact a system administrator with any questions. I will add it in the dependencies in a future package update. You're not going to believe this. I had already given up about getting the proper theme in VMware. So I had to find out how in the world I was able to fix this.
The only thing I did in the past few hours was installing some packages, so it had to be it. I uninstalled about 8 packages and opened up VMware to see if some of them would break theming again. So I uninstalled gvfs and just left gcr installed. To my surprise it worked But tomorrow I'll set up a virtual machine in a clean non-GNOME ambient, then install both vmware-workstation and gcr to see how it goes.
This behaviour can change simply by upgrading the system, installing or removing some packages. But it doesn't always work well, depending if your theme is compatible with GTK 3. Currently, VMware theme works well for me.
I swear to God. Theming in version 14 didn't work at all for me, but after the But then I decided to do a clean install of Arch yesterday, so I installed VMware, but now it doesn't pick up the proper theme and icons, again. Does anyone have any ideia of what is causing this? VMware always picks up the dark Adwaita theme. On this release, I've added this file in the package, that's why you had this conflict.
Deleting this file before upgrading is the right thing to do. I have got new "updates available" notification from the package manager as I was using version I then removed version 14 and tried to do fresh install of version 15 and I still got the same error. Finally I have deleted the file manually and restarted the build process, installation was successful and everything seems to be fine so far.
I've just updated the package for version Tell me if you see some bugs. I think the new thumbnails might not be updated properly. Thanks a ton! If you really want it now, you can download it here: EDIT: this link is not useful anymore.
It seems to get stuck here:. Everything in this cp block seems to be identical to v. I will probably update the package this week-end, because I want to check if all functionalities work correctly and I don't have enough time for the moment. New build is Does anyone else have to manually start networks and usbarbitrator services after update? I think it was not required before Looks like upstream librsvg fixed the bug as of v2.
There is no need to report this problem because it doesn't come from librsvg: this is because the proprietary VMware libraries are compiled for an old version of librsvg and something was broken with the new version.
Eike Thank you! I'm just like you, a normal user I have no idea what actually cause the problem. Hope someone can report or find the actual issue. I get the same error after updating some packages. I finally pinpointed it to a troublesome package called librsvg. Downgrading to a prior one librsvg I have the same error as Eike.
I reverted to the prior kernel and it did not fix the problem. I wish I had kept better track of the updates applied this morning. EDIT: Resolved with a clean reinstall include dependencies issue was with dkms and old In fact, this command will install the version 4. This version is not 4. And the command yaourt -S vmware-workstation seems to download the right version. Remove it and rebuild the package. TheChickenMan: Thanks! I probably wouldn't be able to create this package without the work of the first packager, Synthead.
But I also spent a lot of time to improve his package to fix bugs, add missing functionalities, maintain for new versions It is not funny at all, but I'm pleased with the result. Sherlock-Holo: I'm not sure I can help you, I don't really use this functionality.
For testing purpose, I just run the vmware-hostd. You can check if it is a network problem: do you use the same port number in the host and in the client see in "Edit", "Preferences", "Shared VMs"?
Does the host use a firewall which blocks connections to this port? Moreover, check if you have the sufficient permissions right click on "Shared VMs", "Permissions You can also try to run vmware-hostd. GugaDozero: sorry the the late answer, I hope you have found a solution.
Otherwise, be sure that ncurses5-compat-libs package is installed and try to manually run the command "bash VMware-Workstation-Full I tried to put a package together for this last year, ran into endless trouble and eventually gave up assuming it was just too complicated and likely impossible. Your package works great and is really appreciated! Lots of credit for putting this together.
I'm sure it wasn't easy. I install vm workstation on 2 computers, one enable and start vmware-networks.
The upgrade to The application starts and functions correctly and my VMs are functional, but the Workstation window is rendered in all black with white text and the menu bar element windows File, Edit, View all drop down as fully transparent and the white text overlays the visible text under the transparent dropdown.
As a result, it is really difficult to use the Workstation menus. Switching it to Adwaita default resolves the problem. I get an error when trying to install vmware workstation from the update manager.
It was recommended to edit yaourtrc to point to another tmp directory. It seems gksu was removed from official repos a few hours ago. I've simply removed this dependency in the package because VMware includes its own gksu version in case it is not installed in the system. The errors still show up. Thanks anyway! The package conflict between vmware-horizon-client and vmware-workstation was first reported by jvybihal on I can confirm that this issue still exists.
I installed vmware-workstation first, then I had to use --force to install vmware-horizon-client. Now everytime I use yaourt to update packages, it shows the following errors 32 lines. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for your detailed informations, I will investigate when I will have time. Hello there, when using this package I can't copy a file from any guest tried windows 10, kali, ubuntu because it uses a wrong path.
For instance, when trying to copy "test. So, the file was indeed transferred from guest to host but only the reference was wrong. I could reproduce in two machines different hardware, DE, WM and after uninstalling the package and using the standard bundle it works.
So I believe its related with some of the patches, services, etc. Anyone else facing the same issue? I thought headers was a requirement and didn't checked as I should.
Thank you a lot. This package should work with Linux 4. If it's a fresh installation you have probably forgotten to install the linux-headers package. Hi all, 4. I was using normally on a 4. Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded. I don't have time to investigate your problem and I don't really know Manjaro, but my idea is that the version of GCC used to compile the kernel is more recent than the version of GCC installed on your system which doesn't already include the patch retpoline.
If I'm right not sure at all , you have 2 solutions: downgrade your kernel on the previous version until a new version of GCC, or use a more recent version of GCC for example from testing repo if there is a testing repo in Manjaro.
Edit: I just discovered a tip that can help you: after the startup, loading vmmon module with: modprobe --force-vermagic vmmon.
For anyone who might get the following error I finally changed my mind concerning VMware It seems that a lot of people cannot upgrade to VMware 14 because of the license or an incompatible processor and VMware continue to provide security updates. Also, vmware-patch package is clearly not as convenient to use as this package.
That's why I created the package vmware-workstation12 and I will try to maintain it for the next kernel versions. It should not be a big work for me, but I will be able to make only very limited tests my single machine already run VMware Thank you for making this work. I tried using version 14 with the ' monitor. To be clear, I don't maintain the I only put instructions to install the last version I have built and tested. Exceptionally, I have updated the package for So, if you don't want to stay on Linux LTS, you should switch to vmware-patch.
It is not as convenient to install as this package but the current maintainer provides the compatibility with this version of VMware.
Is it possible to also get the latest That would be awesome because I have a Core2Duo which is not capable of running the latest The first line in the shasums to '04ba5d38eafb5c96e85beea5bbca5acac32'.
I get the same error. Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4. Building module: cleaning build area DKMS make.
In file included from. Please update your system pacman -Syu before trying to reinstall the package. In my opinion, the main problem is that you use an NTFS partition. Also, I made my tests on linux-zen, which includes some optimizations for desktop use. You could test this kernel too. I think I know what the problem is, but I don't have a solution.
You can try it for yourself and see if you can reproduce this issue. Thing is, when the VM is booting, browsing files on that HDD is nearly impossible, because it's painfully slow. I've checked VMware's log files but I couldn't find anything relevant as well.
This file is automatically generated by VMware if it doesn't exist, but I decided to include it directly in the package. I use xfce, if you want to test on this desktop environment. To get more information about the error, you can start VMware from a terminal and see if it display an error when you try to import your file.
You should also search informations on log files. Firstly, try to uninstall modules dkms remove -k 4. Now, when you start command "dkms status" on a terminal, do you see the line "vmware-workstation, If you used bundle installation before trying this package, maybe some modules are still installed and cause conflicts.
And retry the dkms command to install modules. I still can't open OVA file. This OVA file was made by virtualbox. I'm using i3wm, is that OK? Where can I get further info about this problem? Modules don't get build here. Would you be able to fix that? What about a separate packages for dkms modules? Building module: make clean rm -rf vmmon vmnet rm -rf vmmon-only vmnet-only rm -f vmmon. On this version, I can open ova files without problem, I get a message talking about a problem with OVF specification conformance but if I click on "Retry" the VM is imported.
If you still can't import your OVA file, can you tell me more informations: error messages, how the file was created with VMware or VirtualBox , can you open it with VirtualBox? Don't follow the wiki, it is useless if you use this package. Kernel modules are automatically compiled with DKMS when you install the package, you don't have to do it manually just verify that you installed linux-headers before. Just read instructions in the pinned comment, this is all you have to do and be careful that services names are slightly different than services names in the wiki.
Appreciate your feedback, jihem. I don't get it. If I follow the wiki I can't compile the machine monitor. I can confirm the following: On ArchMerge kernel version 4. It asks mentions kernel 13xx during installation but it is no problem. By the way, I'm not using Workstation version 14 because when running with a Windows Guest for some reason, the program automatically exits FulScreen Mode without any intervention or fault by the user including Exclusive Mode. I haven't been able to identify the cause.
Linux Host: Kernel 4. It's very strange, it seems you are the only one who have this problem. Try to investigate: does it work better if you disable graphics acceleration in your VMs? If you disable systemd services related to VMware? If you have an Intel processor, have you installed intel-ucode package?
And of course, verify if there is no regression with your hardware in recent kernel versions. Not working for me anymore on kernel 4. Report issues here. Arch Linux User Repository.

Weird, Chrome works fine with the link. CaskAle13c When I run vmplayer, it runs okay until the part where I have to select the try 15 day trial.
The moment I click next, it prompts me. I have to sudo vmplayer in order for it to run smoothly. Have you any idea how to use vmplayer without sudo? Hahaha If I do the same thing for make it gets further, but Yes PATH seems to be completely unset within the build environment. It won't expire. I applied your patch. Very grateful for your work in making this available.
I'm having the same issue, dani. Anyone got a solution yet? EDIT: Well I tried to downgraded using the older versions und build numbers for vmware workstations and fusions, as well as the sha hashes, from this commit without modifying the pkgbuild any further.
However this did not work and I made a full downgrade. How to switch tty for host? Does anyone get the same? I have installed VMware Player with the official method on Arch, Fedora and Debian the two last distros are officially supported : Player ask a license.

Install the correct dependencies:. It is also necessary to install the appropriate headers package s for your installed kernel s : for example linux-headers or linux-lts-headers. VMware Workstation The older versions presented in this article and their natively supported kernels are as follows: For VMware bundle versions, a collection of patches needed for the VMware host modules to build against recent kernels can be found from the vmware-host-modules GitHub repository.
Add this service as well, if you want to connect to your VMware Workstation installation from another Workstation Server Console:. After which you can enable them on boot. The vmware-workstation-server. After enabling Accelerate 3D graphics , the log may show something like:. If your driver is unsupported, you might see a message like this in the log:.
If your Vulkan driver is blacklisted, you might have to add mks. See also Improving performance. This article or section is a candidate for merging with Improving performance. To disable them for the current session, run on the host :. If you are certain you have enough spare memory, you can ensure the guest OS writes its memory directly to the host's RAM by adding the following to the VM's. If these settings are not in the virtual machine's configuration, the paravirtual SCSI adapter can still be enabled.
Ensure that the paravirtual SCSI adapter is included in the kernel image by modifying the mkinitcpio. Regenerate the initramfs. Shut down the virtual machine and change the SCSI adapter: set the.
VMware offers multiple network adapters for the guest OS. This Intel adapter is generally compatible with the built-in drivers across most operating systems, including Arch. For more performance and additional features such as multiqueue support , the VMware native vmxnet3 network adapter can be used.
Arch has the vmxnet3 kernel module available with a default install. Once enabled in mkinitcpio or if it is auto-detected; check by running lsmod grep vmxnet3 to see if it is loaded , shut down and change the network adapter type in the.
After changing network adapters, the network and dhcpcd settings will need to be updated to use the new adapter name and MAC address. Vmware's KB provides the following optimizations:. Install the headers linux-headers. If not using the systemd service to automatically handle the services, you need to manually start the vmware-usbarbitrator binary as root each time. VMware Workstation provides the possibility to remotely manage Shared VMs through the vmware-workstation-server service.
To fix sound quality issues or enabling proper HD audio output, first run:. If interested in playing 5. Finally put the name in the. OSS emulation should also be disabled. This means that at least the vmmon module is not loaded. See the systemd services section for automatic loading. Another possible reason is Indirect Branch Tracking on 11th Gen and later Intel processors and starting from kernel 5. See [1] for more details. If you just get back to the prompt when opening the. This can be fixed by either installing the ncurses5-compat-libs AUR dependency or temporarily allowing root access to X:.
Version 14 has stricter CPU requirements than version If you try to start a virtual machine with an affected CPU, the following message will appear:. The solution is to uninstall version 14 and install version 12 vmware-workstation12 AUR.
Please try a cold boot shutting the system down and starting it again. On systems with librsvg version A workaround is to downgrade librsvg to earlier version, or more preferably, force VMware to use its own shipped version of librsvg :. As per [2] the temporary workaround is to downgrade the package libpng to version 1. If the system have installed gcc-libs , that library is already installed. Therefore, it is possible to remove that file and vmplayer will use the one provided by gcc-libs instead.
As root do:. Registered bug at Mageia , but it seems that there are no error messages shown in terminal with arch.
Solution is the same, as root do:. An example is the libfontconfig. Check vmware logs in the tmp directory to see which libraries are still not found. Copy them to the appropriate path with libraries existing on the system:. Instead of copying all these files manually, you may want to try exporting an additional setting:.
On systems with fontconfig version 2. In such case, it is also necessary to provide a shared object library file libexpat. This applies for at least VMware version To download the tools manually, visit the VMware repository. If the above does not work, try installing ncurses5-compat-libs AUR. In March , with the release of linux 3. When the host CPU frequency changes, the Guest system clock runs too quickly or too slowly, but may also render the whole Guest unbootable.
