12.1 Beta VMplayer

gustavodiazjaimes · October 5, 2011, 12:49am

After Installing All Dependencies
When trying to start vmplayer appear a modal dialog

Cannot execute command ’ ‘’’’/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig’’’ --icon=’’‘vmware-player’’’ --appname=’’‘VMware’’’ --gcc=’’’/usr/bin/gcc’’’ --headers=’’’/lib/modules/3.1.0-rc7-3-desktop/build/include’’’ --gcc-ignore-minor ‘’.

Looking on google it’s look like it’s need a kernel patch

#vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Yes. There are actually two patches needed… at least for the Workstation. They are:

http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/vmware2.6.39patchv3.tar.bz2
-and-
vmware workstation 7.1.4 fixes to use linux 3.1 | Weltall’s blog

You can find more details on my WebPage at:
SuSE 12.1

Take care,
Chuck

There is a new versión of VMplayer (4.0) but I already return to opensuse 11.4…
Someone want have try it in kernel 3.1?

Is there anyone who runs VMware-Player-4.0.0-471780.x86_64 with kernel linux-1msc 3.1.0-rc7-3-desktop x86_64 on 12.1 Beta?
I always get errors in the vmnet-only directory:

I found no useful patch for Kernel 3.1.0-rc7:
Can someone post a solution?
With the 12.1 Milestone 5 everything worked fine with the 2.6 Kernel version.

Martin,

VMware is a little slow when it comes to conforming with the latest kernel.

I would recommend checking with someone in the VMware communities for a patch.

meierkurt123 · October 23, 2011, 6:18pm

It works:

Install package “hal”, start haldaemon in Yast2
Patch Kernel: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware#3.1rc_kernels
Compile vmware-modules: vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

gustavodiazjaimes · November 4, 2011, 11:25pm

works!! TX

Thanks a lot! This made it work
