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.

If you are getting conflicts I think it's because your VMWare is not installed using the AUR package?

I downloaded the bundle and changed the PKGBUILD like they said, but at the end of installation it says that there are conflicting files and doesn't install. The files they are conflicting with are VMware Workstation 16. I don't know how to fix it. I also tried to execute the bundle in a shell, but I get a message that it didn't install correctly and to look at the logs, but I have no idea what the logs mean. I'm using Manjaro, idk if that makes a huge difference in this.

@marcolussetti Oh! There exists a new version. Thanks for editing hints to update. It was working.

marcolussetti commented on 2020-12-20 05:03 (UTC)

To get 12.0.0 working (yay example):

  • Download from VMWare site: https://my.vmware.com/en/group/vmware/downloads/details?downloadGroup=VMRC1200&productId=974&download=true
  • Save/copy to ~/.cache/yay/vmware-vmrc/VMware-Remote-Console-12.0.0-17287072.x86_64.bundle
  • Run the install yay -S vmware-vmrc --editmenu --save
  • Select the appropriate toggles to edit the PKGBUILD
  • Edit the PGKBUILD:
    • line 17: source=("local://VMware-Remote-Console-12.0.0-17287072.x86_64.bundle"
    • line 21: sha256sums=('3429d897256e80d7e087ff9fc7b5e679695db06a9af2596b40d303e61c5000aa'
    • line 27: sh ../VMware-Remote-Console-12.0.0-17287072.x86_64.bundle -x ./files
