After the first installation, please:

1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...

2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)

3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :

  • vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs

  • vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs

@jihem Thank you for explanation.

jihem commented on 2024-09-06 15:52 (UTC)

@ZorinArch I don't understand how the UEFITool project manages its releases, but some releases versions are named 0.xx.x and others are named Axx. These two types of releases provide different binaries, and only the 0.xx.x versions provide uefipatch binary. uefitool package provides the last 0.xx.x while uefitool-bin provides the last Axx. So yes, both packages are differents, even if they come from the same project. Please install uefitool instead.

@jihem i already installed uefitool-bin. Is it different from uefitool

jihem commented on 2024-09-06 13:11 (UTC)

Sorry, the link is fixed now.

@ZorinArch uefipatch is provided by the AUR package uefitool, which is added in the makedepends array when _enable_macOS_guests is set. I don't understand how you can have this error. Please check if /usr/bin/uefipatch exists and if not, try to rebuild uefitool.

edit line 63 in the PKGBUILD file and replace with "https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/${pkgver}/${buildver}/linux/core/VMware-Workstation-${_pkgver//-}.${CARCH} .bundle.tar"
