Version mismatch with vmmon module WMware pro 17.16 #280

Open Titof86 opened 2 months ago

Titof86 commented 2 months ago

Hello,

i have this error with vmware Pro 17.16 :

"Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 417.0, got 416.0. You have an incorrect version of the 'vmmon' kernel module. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation."

Linux 69-31-17-125 6.10.6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.10.6-1 (2024-08-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux

i try it:

git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git cd vmware-host-modules/ tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Reinstall VMware Workstation, that fixes it.

Follow the instructions!

Nice, works well

mem0git commented 2 months ago

@bytium - Could not get this to work. Steps: 0) For testing purposes, installed Ubuntu 24.04 fully patched, VMware Workstation runs perfectly. 1) Reformat hard drive, Install fresh Fedora Linux 40 on laptop. 2) Update - Install RPM Fusion (both) - Update again. - 6.10.7-200.fc40.x86_64 3) Install all dependencies: group install all dependencies, dev libraries, etc. 4) Clone your repo, follow all instructions. Instructions are very simple. 5) Everything compiles. make; make install. 6) Workstation 40 refuses to run.

It was not tested on Fedora or other distros. Perhaps we need to modify the file location for other distros.

Just tested on fully updated F40. kernel 6.10.8-200.fc40.x86_64 I had to re-install WS 17.6.0 as I had been "playing" with getting it going. vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation VMware-Workstation-Full-17.6.0-24238078.x86_64.bundle A couple of warnings but compiled OK Ran a Windows 11 VM (not fully updated) for a very quick test. All seems well - many thanks - vital for me! John

Did you clone the repository (nan0desu) at the top of this thread and build the modules?

I emphasise I have no idea of the significance of these changes and of possible consequences! Suggested here https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/243

2024_09_13-09.43 Tried changing two include files from bytium before compiling /global/db/sw/VMware_17/17.6.0/Module_Fix_Mk2/vm-host-modules/vmmon-only/include/ x86cpuid.h and x86msr.h changed one line in each file typedef struct CPUIDQuery { uint32 eax; // IN uint32 ecx; // IN uint32 numLogicalCPUs; // IN/OUT CPUIDReply logicalCPUs[]; // OUT ja_hack [0] to [] } CPUIDQuery;

pragma pack(push, 1)

pragma pack(pop)

systemctl stop vwmare.service if running

then make; su; make install systemctl restart vwmare.service Not sure this is necessary vmware

No crashes and no apparent damage to host or VM

Only a very short test of W11 VM

@bytium - Could not get this to work. Steps: 0) For testing purposes, installed Ubuntu 24.04 fully patched, VMware Workstation runs perfectly.

  1. Reformat hard drive, Install fresh Fedora Linux 40 on laptop.
  2. Update - Install RPM Fusion (both) - Update again. - 6.10.7-200.fc40.x86_64
  3. Install all dependencies: group install all dependencies, dev libraries, etc.
  4. Clone your repo, follow all instructions. Instructions are very simple.
  5. Everything compiles. make; make install.
  6. Workstation 40 refuses to run.

Tested on Latest Fedora. Work perfectly!

I cannot find the correct "mix." I repeat all the steps above: Reformat drive; Install fresh Fedora 40; Updates; RPM Fusion; Updates; Install all dependencies; Install VMWare WKS 17.6.0; Clone Bytium repo; Follow simple instructions; Make/Make install; Reboot; VMWare Workstation will not run. - Move to second computer, repeat steps, not working. - Go to third computer, repeat steps, not working. Current kernel version: 6.10.10-200. I am no novice at this. I don't know what I am missing.

ja-jaa-org-uk commented 2 months ago

Only thought - try a make clean before the make.

If that works the changes to x86cpuid.h and x86msr.h are probably a good idea.

penaivanalejandro commented 2 months ago

You can try this patch:

This Work for me... When I updated to 17.6.0 build-24238078 and mi Kernel is 6.9.3-76060903-generic (Pop OS!)
