Update Note: Make sure to re-download the latest available code from the github repo linked. This is frequently required due to the kernel updates in Linux. In recent (as of this comment) builds of the kernel, I have had to do the following for VMware Workstation Pro 17.5.2: Pre-Req: Make sure you have the following packages installed first: elfutils-libelf-devel kernel-devel kernel-headers - Download latest code from github (17.5.1 is latest there and works with Workstation Pro 17.5.2) - cd into the folder - run: make && sudo make install NOTE: If the kernel update (OS Upgrade) results in issue recurring and you are Still running Workstation 17.5.2, you must first CLEAN in the code folder (ONLY if re-using your last download): - cd into existing folder - make clean && make && sudo make install Otherwise, you get some sort of mis-match error when attempting make install. UPDATE 2024-06-30: I ran into problems with Fedora 40 running kernel 6.9.6-200.fc.x86_64 .. Here are the steps that allowed me to run Workstation again: git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git cd vmware-host-modules/ sudo make tarballs && sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Source: github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/257 Good luck everyone!!
I want to thank you very much, after watching a bunch of videos on the subject yours was the only one that gave a clear simple explanation and to the point on how to do this and it works great...thank you you get an A+++
Thank you Carlos, It's a shame that a 3rd party repo needs to be used in order to keep Workstation running on Linux :( I'm very glad you found it helpful and appreciate you taking the time to comment here!
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.
Downgraded kernel? That repo generally has the necessary files for newer kernels... did they have it and it just not work for you or what? VMware really needs to do better with Workstation for Linux, we shouldn't have to go to a 3rd part repo and recompile with each and every kernel update...
Couldn't open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory. Please make sure that kernal module 'vmmon is loaded . Please don't tell me to openssl and other fucking things, i m trying From three days this 🥺🥺🥺
Did you actually watch the entire video here and use the github repo to compile the host modules? When you attempt to launch Workstation the first time, it needs to compile vmmon ... if you don't have vmmon, it seems you didn't step through the required process to get it working.
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.

Thanks! Love that you explain each step so that the viewers know what they are installing into their machine.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

In The setup what soft is that the little one
Not specific enough question to be answered and doesn't even seem to apply to this video.
cheers!!!!!😀
Thanks !
Does this work on 24.04?
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.
I downgrade it my kernel and now it works

thankyou!!

You know you can just use VMware on windows? Lol
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.
@@DimensionQuest Errrm... so that you don't have to resort to baking in random code from a total stranger into your kernel to get it to work, Lol?
