2023-11-05T01:32:20.925Z In(05) vmrc DictionaryLoad: Cannot open file "/usr/lib/vmware/settings": No such file or directory.
Also this:
DictionaryLoad: Cannot open file "/home/ihab/.vmware/config": No such file or directory.
Could it be that the missing "/usr/lib/vmware/settings" file be causing the signal 11 error?

Notes for 12.0.1-2 [edit: applicable to 12.0.5-1]:
You need to download the VMware-Remote-Console .bundle from https://www.vmware.com/go/download-vmrc and place it in the same directory as the PKGBUILD.
vmware-keymaps has been made an optional dependency. vmrc will run fine without it, although I imagine how well it works may depend on your keyboard setup. Making it an optional dependency removes the problem of conflicting files between vmware packages, but also lets those who don't need it ignore it.
