Install the correct dependencies:. It is also necessary to install the appropriate headers package s for your installed kernel s : for example linux-headers or linux-lts-headers. VMware Workstation The older versions presented in this article and their natively supported kernels are as follows: For VMware bundle versions, a collection of patches needed for the VMware host modules to build against recent kernels can be found from the vmware-host-modules GitHub repository.

Add this service as well, if you want to connect to your VMware Workstation installation from another Workstation Server Console:. After which you can enable them on boot. The vmware-workstation-server. After enabling Accelerate 3D graphics , the log may show something like:.

If your driver is unsupported, you might see a message like this in the log:. If your Vulkan driver is blacklisted, you might have to add mks.

See also Improving performance. This article or section is a candidate for merging with Improving performance. To disable them for the current session, run on the host :. If you are certain you have enough spare memory, you can ensure the guest OS writes its memory directly to the host's RAM by adding the following to the VM's.

If these settings are not in the virtual machine's configuration, the paravirtual SCSI adapter can still be enabled.

Ensure that the paravirtual SCSI adapter is included in the kernel image by modifying the mkinitcpio. Regenerate the initramfs. Shut down the virtual machine and change the SCSI adapter: set the. VMware offers multiple network adapters for the guest OS. This Intel adapter is generally compatible with the built-in drivers across most operating systems, including Arch. For more performance and additional features such as multiqueue support , the VMware native vmxnet3 network adapter can be used.

Arch has the vmxnet3 kernel module available with a default install. Once enabled in mkinitcpio or if it is auto-detected; check by running lsmod grep vmxnet3 to see if it is loaded , shut down and change the network adapter type in the.

After changing network adapters, the network and dhcpcd settings will need to be updated to use the new adapter name and MAC address. Vmware's KB provides the following optimizations:. Install the headers linux-headers. If not using the systemd service to automatically handle the services, you need to manually start the vmware-usbarbitrator binary as root each time. VMware Workstation provides the possibility to remotely manage Shared VMs through the vmware-workstation-server service.

To fix sound quality issues or enabling proper HD audio output, first run:. If interested in playing 5. Finally put the name in the. OSS emulation should also be disabled. This means that at least the vmmon module is not loaded. See the systemd services section for automatic loading. Another possible reason is Indirect Branch Tracking on 11th Gen and later Intel processors and starting from kernel 5.

See [1] for more details. If you just get back to the prompt when opening the. This can be fixed by either installing the ncurses5-compat-libs AUR dependency or temporarily allowing root access to X:. Version 14 has stricter CPU requirements than version If you try to start a virtual machine with an affected CPU, the following message will appear:. The solution is to uninstall version 14 and install version 12 vmware-workstation12 AUR.

Please try a cold boot shutting the system down and starting it again. On systems with librsvg version A workaround is to downgrade librsvg to earlier version, or more preferably, force VMware to use its own shipped version of librsvg :. As per [2] the temporary workaround is to downgrade the package libpng to version 1. If the system have installed gcc-libs , that library is already installed. Therefore, it is possible to remove that file and vmplayer will use the one provided by gcc-libs instead.

As root do:. Registered bug at Mageia , but it seems that there are no error messages shown in terminal with arch. Solution is the same, as root do:.

An example is the libfontconfig. Check vmware logs in the tmp directory to see which libraries are still not found. Copy them to the appropriate path with libraries existing on the system:. Instead of copying all these files manually, you may want to try exporting an additional setting:. On systems with fontconfig version 2. In such case, it is also necessary to provide a shared object library file libexpat.

This applies for at least VMware version To download the tools manually, visit the VMware repository. If the above does not work, try installing ncurses5-compat-libs AUR. In March , with the release of linux 3. When the host CPU frequency changes, the Guest system clock runs too quickly or too slowly, but may also render the whole Guest unbootable. This is likely due to the vmnet module not being loaded [3]. See also the systemd services section for automatic loading.

If your mouse's thumb buttons or other additional buttons do not work, set guest to use advanced mouse. This is related to the current Xorg keyboard layout on Host system. Keep primary layout e. This issue is related to promiscuous mode which, following standard Linux practice, can only be enabled by the root user. To work around these limitations, the permissions for the networking device in question have to be changed.

To uninstall VMware you need the product name either vmware-workstation or vmware-player. To list all the installed products:. Remember to also disable and remove the services:.

Jump to content Namespaces Page Discussion. Views Read View source View history. Check the Processor Requirements for Host Systems. This can be safely ignored, since Arch uses systemd.

Tip: To re build the modules from terminal later on, use: vmware-modconfig --console --install-all. Note: The -debug binary informs the user of an incorrect license. Note: You might need to add the mks.

Notes: Not specific to VMware. Discuss in Talk:VMware. Note: Upgrading the kernel and the headers will require you to boot to the new kernel to match the version of the headers. This is a relatively common error. Note: libxslt may be required for starting virtual machines. Tip: If kvm modules continue to load, despite being blacklisted, and you are running a system with integrated Intel graphics i,i , it may be necessary to blacklist the kvmgt kernel module directly from the kernel command line options.

Tip: To periodically correct the time once per minute , in the Options tab of VMware Tools, enable: "Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system". Tip: Use --console for the console UI. Category : Hypervisors. Hidden category: Pages or sections flagged with Template:Merge.
