  • MacOS Virtualization using VMware

    I had to fix a well known issue with running VMware on Linux - compiling your own kernel modules. This isnt much of a problem for seasoned users but for others it might be a deal breaker. This repo will save you hours of searching google.
  • VMWare Player on 5.19.3-arch1-1 kernel
    2 projects | /r/archlinux | 25 Aug 2022
    Just wondering if anybody is successfully running Vmware player/workstation 16.2.4 on this version of kernel. I've been bashing my head for 2 days trying to get it to run but with no success to get past vmmon and vmware-network.service errors when starting VM. I already tried bundle/AUR package installation, patches from this github repository and endless browsing through forum posts which basically just repeat the same. At this point I'm just considering trying VBox or simply running it from my Windows dualboot system.

  • What's the most recent linux kernel supported by WMWare workstation ?
    2 projects | /r/vmware | 11 May 2022
    Oh, yes, I know about that :) But it works really well with Mint's normal kernel (which is 5.4) so I was wondering if some people would have experimented with kernel versions to know which version does work :) I've found someone who provides patches for vmware to make it work with the latest kernels but I'm not good enough to know how to apply them yet.

  • Use VMware Workstation with the latest Linux Kernel
    2 projects | dev.to | 6 May 2022
    You can avoid all this by directly clone the branch (replace the VMWare version with the one you use) : git clone -b workstation-16.2.3 https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
  • VMware Workstation finally working on Pop OS 20.10

    https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules automates this process quite well

    Step 4 - After getting the error, close everything and clone/download this repo https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-16.2.1
  • Problem with virtualization
    2 projects | /r/pop_os | 24 Mar 2022
    Idk if it has any relation with the problem, but VMWare coudn't initialize right after the installation, so I followed this (https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/blob/master/INSTALL) guide to install patched modules of VMWare to be able to use it. Do anyone has any clue of what is happening? (i forgor 💀 where the log files are)
