Sudo vmware-modconfig -console -install-all # If you've updated, and there was a new kernel you will get errors if you haven't rebooted to it # If you get errors make sure you are running the msst recently installed kernel # Build the modules for the current kernel Sudo cp vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ # Change this directory name if you want to place these somewhere else # Uncomment this is you want some more verbose output to see what is happening Since we are on a rolling release and the kernel updates often, also, one might install an updated version of VMware Workstation (or Player) I created a quick and dirty script that can be run to do the updates. Hopefully I remembered everything because it's been a little while since I did that main install. It's also useful to have the USB arbitrator service running, to do that you can copy the unit files from the wiki for Arch Linux (actually that whole page has some useful information!): Just follow the instructions provided in the README.md and INSTALL.md files.
#Hos to install vmware bundle files upgrade
However, this broke with the recent upgrade to the 5.x.x kernel.
#Hos to install vmware bundle files series
This seems to work for the 14.0.x and 15.0.x series (at least the ones I had tried) on the 4.x.x kernel series. You may need to restart the vmware service to activate the modules: sudo systemctl restart rvice It's best if you install those before you install VMware Workstation, however if you've already installed you could run this to build the modules: sudo vmware-modconfig -console -install-all (You might need linux-lts-headers if you are running the lts kernel.) sudo eopkg install libelf-devel linux-current-headers linux-headers
That will install the necessary build tools, but you need a few more items. To fix that you need to install a few items, as below: sudo eopkg install -c vel Therefore, I thought I would post some quick notes here, to help my future self and anyone else!įirst of all, VMware Workstation will install fine, but will not work with the stock installation because the kernel modules will not build. We used to have some useful references on the old forum that helped me, but those are gone. Just a terse note on installing VMware Workstation on Solus.
