Can't compile modules for Fedora 40 - Kernel 6.9.7-200.fc40.x86_64 & workstaion 17.5.2 #260

Closed ZheDude closed 4 months ago

ZheDude commented 4 months ago

System:

OS: Fedora Linux 40 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
Kernel: 6.9.7-200.fc40.x86_64
Memory: 3060MiB / 13789MiB

the first script used to work perfectly up until i updated to the kernel versions 6.9.6+ from 6.8.11

I tried running both of these Scripts i found online & in this issue -> #257 https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/257#issuecomment-2198321399 :

Script 1:

VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-17.5.1
TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware
rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER
mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER
cd $TMP_FOLDER
git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules
git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION
git fetch
make
sudo make install
sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1

#sudo mkdir -p /misc/sign-vmware-modules

#sudo chmod 777 /misc/sign-vmware-modules

cd /misc/sign-vmware-modules
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=MSI/"
chmod 600 MOK.priv

sudo mokutil --import MOK.der
