VMWare Workstation

[foureight84]

I just installed VMWare Workstation and it wouldn't start because the vmmnet wouldn't compile. I tried to manually compile it and I saw this error:

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

I will try to get better error logs but seems that there's a missing dependency in the linux-headers

Same here. Also ZFS module did not build.

DKMS modules and custom kernels do not always play nicely together. Can you first exclude this is an issue of the relatively new kernel by cross checking with a mainline kernel?

Maybe also this comment helps that wrote you need the full source in https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu-binaries/issues/44

Simple fix sudo su cd /usr/src ; git clone https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu.git # run the above script. done

Do the modules build now since the packages are build in a different way now?

@foureight84 Do you try compile with: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules ?

Same here. Also ZFS module did not build.
