Happy to hear this is still helping - thanks for sharing environment info.

Thanks!

Is there any chance you've run make & sudo make install on that system before with the same source code?? If so, try doing a "make clean" first.. This looks similar to when I had tried to re-use existing code after a kernel update.

@harryf1ashman - thanks for the support. I appreciate you viewing and taking the time to come in and comment. I'm glad that my effort has paid off in the form of helping yet ANOTHER viewer that faced similar challenges as me!

Wow, harsh choice of words on content that has resulted in helping dozens of people get the software working… while I appreciate constructive criticism, this comment doesn’t quite qualify due to your choice of words. This is an old video that I produced to quickly help me and others get past an issue we face when using VMware Workstation on Linux. My intention is solely to get past the issue. This channel is a hobby. If I were actually being paid for the content, I’d probably put a little extra effort and research into trying to provide more details about the WHY on each thing. For my purpose, and a majority of people that find this solution, the video suits its purpose. Perhaps this whole comment was put through a translator and that resulted in the phrasing… well, in any case; thanks for watching!

Thanks for the recognition! I appreciate you watching and commenting :)

Paul, thank you for watching and taking the time to leave an educated comment!

You're quite welcome!!! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!

Have you done everything in the video AND reviewed my pinned comment that has a little extra details?

Yes, it does. There was a comment 3 weeks ago on my other video "How to fix Unable to Install all modules VMware Workstation Linux" by a user that confirmed this.

You're welcome

I'm happy to hear the my effort helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment !

This has been an issue for many years now due to the speed at which the open source community releases kernel updates vs. a big commercial company releasing a product. I've seen this github referenced by "internal" teams when running into issues with getting VMware Workstation installed and working under Linux. This has been, and continues to be, a valid solution to our problem. I'm not part of engineering or even the team responsible for it so I have no "official" word on this one way or the other - just what I've witnessed and experienced. You could try posting in the official communities to see if there is any "official" response to this continuing problem.

@@DimensionQuest I see. Thank you for the information and the insight. But if you say the repo is reputable and even referenced internally I suppose I'd go with that solution then. 👍

Woah! Thank you so much!! You’re the first Super I have gotten since the channel became eligible!!! I’m very happy that my content satisfied you enough for you to express such generosity!

Great to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Fresh install of F40, latest update, 17.5.2 build-23775571, still does not work, albeit getting the 17.5.2 package from github. vmmon can't be found.

@Canleaf08 - I updated my pinned comment with some extra details.. Do you have elfutils-libelf-devel kernel-devel kernel-headers installed? sudo dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel kernel-devel kernel-headers

OMG BRO U HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO MAKE IT WORKD AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED TYSM

I’m happy that it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, ESXi is very particular when it comes to network cards. There are 3rd party vibs that can be used, but typically the easiest workaround is to get a USB NIC. William Lam has covered this pretty well in his blogs (both the vibs as well as the USB nics). In any case, thanks for watching and commenting!

@@DimensionQuest D'accord. Je suis surpris qu'il s'installe facilement dans vmware workstation. Obliger donc de prendre Proxmox.

Hmmm…. Are the permissions of the .ssh folder on Debian set properly? I’ve seen the same message when the SSH server I’m connecting to doesn’t have the proper permissions set on the folder and the file… responding from phone so can’t be more specific right now… Maybe this will help? superuser.com/questions/1822718/windows-11-ssh-fails-to-connect-using-a-private-key-specified-in-config …. Or maybe this one: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement

Check the “Computers” container in your Active Directory server: is the ubuntu machine there? Your error says “Server not found in kerberos database” so that would be my guess…

I’m very rusty with Active Directory and have not attempted what you described. This thread may help: community.spiceworks.com/t/unable-to-join-domain-what-to-do/130845/10

Glad it helped, thanks for watching and sharing your results!

Whenever that comes up, the instructions in the video have to be followed again... I haven't run workstation for a couple weeks. I just launched it today and got the same message as you, except I'm still running Fedora 39. Even though I'm also using Workstation Pro 17.5.2, the latest branch in the repo is workstation-17.5.1. As noted in other comments, that DOES work for me and others running VMware Workstation Pro 17.5.2. Since my kernel is now up to 6.8.11-200.vc39.x86_64, I had to simply re-run "make" and then "sudo make install" in the folder as per the instructions in this video. Now, my Workstation Pro 17.5.2 is once again launching without issue... until another kernel version or Workstation version breaks it ;) Good Luck!

Lol, why would I want to run Windows 😝Yeah, I know - but I prefer Linux and MacOS over Windows. If I were a gamer, I would probably roll with Windows for compatibility reasons.

Same here..thank you!

How ?

Did you try the way that hal9000svk did it? See the previous comment... Maybe that method will work for you as well?

That didn’t work but I have fixed it another way after readin an ubuntu forum. I just had to uncomment this line "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw1:0" in default.pa file in /etc/pulse path.

Thanks for sharing!! This response was hidden for review by youtube for some reason... even though I check weekly, it was hiding.. it finally showed today and I approved it.

Well, 17.5.2 is VERY recent... so I suspect the author has not yet committed the updates. When I click the Branch dropdown, I do see 17.5.1 github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-17.5.1 so maybe the author just hasn't published yet.. I really don't know, I am not associated with that person.

Did you try using the 17.5.1 branch? It looks like DarkKnight (previous comment) used that branch on their 17.0.2 build (I hope/suspect they meant 17.5.2)... I'll be trying this myself shortly....

UPDATE: I just used the 17.5.1 branch for the VMware Workstation 17.5.2 Pro on my Fedora 40 Workstation. After recent updates, I was facing the issue again so came to this comment, re-watched my video for the instructions and I'm back to successfully launching Workstation !

Well, good luck with it.. I should note that VMware Fusion Pro is now available FREE for personal use. So Wireguard + RDP or VNC would give secure remote access to VM(s) running on Fusion in a remote location. UTM was a so-so "free" option prior to Broadcom deciding to give Fusion Pro for free. If I were interested in emulation, I might consider further playing with UTM, but I don't have time for that kind of stuff.

@@DimensionQuest Yeah, I have VMware and Parallels. Parallels work the best out of all 3 of them for most things, VMware for Mac hasn't gotten the internal support it used to get, and has fallen behind. Now they're giving it away for free...while free is awesome, it makes me wonder how much will be invest in it going forward.

@@DimensionQuest I evenly got it working, but it's very slow. Older and smaller OSes can run, but slowly. Win 11 x64 loads, loggs in, but freezes, and Win 11 ARM locks up while logging in. I even connected my iPad to ethernet, and turned off wi-fi, just to be sure I was getting the best network connection. It's a cool idea, and I'm hopeful, but Parallels + RDP or VNC are still the best way to go right now.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to come here and comment with your experience. Hopefully it helps others! Thanks!

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your results

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

I'm confused by this comment. There is a button to power off the VM, therefore, the act of closing the console window should not power off the VM, but should close the console window. Since this is remote access, it is rightly referred to accessing the console. It has been this way since the beginning of Virtual Machine time. Regardless of the make of VM software you are running, the display of a virtual machine or application has been referred to as the console since the mid 1960s. If you look at current virtualisation software, the active VM window is referred to as the "VM Console", "Remote Console", "Web Console" "Virtual Machine Remote Console", etc. I would suggest to anyone reviewing this video and then the comments section, should not take advice from someone who is either a troll, or too inexperienced to comment on technology that he or she clearly does not understand.

Woah, is English your second language or did you simply not pay attention to the video??? - DimensionQuest wasn't looking for a way to power off the VM, WTF are you even talking about? He wanted to get back the the list of VMs WITHOUT powering off the VM that had the console window showing - Why wouldn't he refer to Console? The console IS, and has been, the machine's display where you can see the Bios boot up and access the login screen and alternate screens as needed. Perhaps YOU need to take a step back and actually learn about Virtual Machines and the industry standard terminology and use cases associated with them before you comment on people's efforts to share their experience. Yeah, I clicked your name, saw your attempts at making some videos with UTM... seriously, you really shouldn't be casting stones.... In any case, @DimensionQuest - yet another nice video! Well done! I saw Garry's comment where he asked for this... and damn dude, a 24 hr turnaround on a request while away from your usual gear! ko-fi donation sent ! !

I generally thank people for watching and commenting, but based on your comments you didn't even pay attention to the video and you are lacking fundamental knowledge. In any case, suppose I gained a view from you so thanks for that ;) Maybe when you gain some experience, you'll come to realize what a nonsense comment you have posted here. - cheers! :P

The machine you are trying to join to the domain - is it using your DC as the DNS server? If I'm not mistaken, I believe there are special DNS entries on DCs that are used for Active Directory/Domain activities. A simple 3rd party DNS server or hosts entry would not have the special records. Other than that, I recall another viewer discovering that there were some group policies that were preventing their attempts. Please let me know if you get this resolved and what the issue turned out to be. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it ! I hope you saw the ton of announcements around VMware Fusion Pro being FREE for Personal use now! Wireguard or some Cloudflare magic plus RDP or VNC would likely be a better solution at this point based on what I experienced while recording that video.

@@DimensionQuest Yes bro ! VMWare Workstation Pro & Fusion Pro are free for personal use now. I couldn't find many differences between: VMware Fusion personal use licence vs VMware Fusion Pro personal use licence. I think more features for Workstation Pro users because Fusion users were already using most of the features but still a good news for users. I have been using VMWare Fusion Free Personal Licence for some time already. But i have also been using UTM as well because: VMWare Fusion VM's (Linux Ubuntu VM) doesn't play videos. Videos doesn't play well in the browser or Using VLC or some media player (Chopping problem) That's the main reason to use UTM because UTM plays ok, not as smooth but it does play.

Yes, for most of us it does.

@@DimensionQuest okay

Hello there @garrysingh4484 , thanks for visiting my channel and taking the time to comment. I've had a quick look over things and had my iPhone connected to a VM within a few minutes via local wireless network. I switched to my phone internet (roaming out of country) and connected that way too. The lag was terrible when not on wifi, maybe because I'm out of country. My first instinct was to say no to this request as it is not something I see myself using.. however, since the effort was minimal, I'll see if I can pull together a video on it. I'm out of country for a while so I don't have my regular setup with me so it could prove challenging to get this particular one going. I didn't see ANY documentation on this other than the release note announcement, so I see why you requested it. Since it may take a bit for me to get an actual video produced, here are notes of what I just did: Accessing a UTM Remote Server from outside your network would require that your provider allow inbound traffic, or some mildly advanced home/lab network wizardry (perhaps Wireguard VPN for example). Once you have a couple VMs available in UTM, just go to settings and enable the server. Require a password, it will auto-generate a 32 character password. In the "Welcome" screen, you will then see a "Server" tile. Click on that and when the window opens, you'll need to click the checkbox there that says "Enable UTM Server". The status bar of that new window will show the EXTERNAL IP address of your network as well as the Port that UTM is listening on. When Local, the IOS client auto-detects the running instance. After you have the UTM Remote client installed on your IOS device, try to connect via the local network or external IP/Port. You will then be given a series of prompts from UTM and the Client in order to establish trust. The IOS client must trust the fingerprint of the server address and provide the password specified on the server side. If you have a firewall running on your UTM server, you may also need to Allow/Trust the connection. After you connection has been trusted, verified, established, you are presented with a list of VMs available on the UTM server. I'm not a fan of the way they did this.... The VM I had already started on my Mac had an entry... when I tap on it in IOS Client, it just shows me some info... no obvious way to access the console. The other VM that was powered off has a little Play button I could tap (Triangle in a Circle). This actually started up the VM on the UTM server and gave me a console where I was then prompted to login to the Ubuntu VM UI that I had just powered on. I powered off BOTH VMs and refreshed the VM list on my iPhone. Both had the start button available now and both powered on and presented me with a console. Back on my Macbook pro, I was then unable to access the console. So, in summary, it seems you can only access the console from where it has been powered on.... This is certainly NOT ideal and hopefully NOT the intended behavior. Working with the iPhone 15 Pro Max in portrait mode is a bit of a challenge.... when you rotate to landscape, you get prompted to login again! I hope these lengthy comment helps you along!

@@DimensionQuest 👍👍👍 Much appreciated!! What a detailed, informative response to my request, absolutely amazing. I couldn't find any video or detailed documentation about UTM remote server for Mac, except from what they have on their GitHub. But you already cleared many of my questions. I never used or heard about this feature on UTM so had no idea what it is used for or what to expect. I am looking forward to your video!!! thanks

And, here it is: Lets Try UTM 4.5.2 Remote Server for MacOS th-cam.com/video/oiDFZJkpqCo/w-d-xo.html

24.04? I haven’t tried that on my workstation build yet.

Not sure how to help if the steps in this video didn't work for you... are you SURE you selected the correct build from the repo for the kernel version you are running? If so, I suggest visiting the Fusion Communities as soon as they're made available at community.broadcom.com/home -- at the time of this comment, they are still in the process of migrating the content from the old VMware community site..

@@DimensionQuest sorry to not inform you issue solved after comment in 10 min 😅

LOL, same thing has happened to me so many times! I spend hours trying to fix something, doing research, videos, etc... I finally give in and ASK FOR HELP... then a few min later I figure it out !! :P

@@DimensionQuest 100℅ true bro 😆

Thanks for watching and sharing your results. This method tends to only work for recently unsupported CPUs.

That’s great to hear! Thank you!! I’m glad it helped.

I haven’t run into that myself, but a quick search found this: askubuntu.com/questions/1064456/ubuntu-18-04-usb-audio-device-suspended … while that is an older article and version, it “may” still prove helpful.
