After the first installation, please:

1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...

2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)

3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :

  • vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs

  • vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs

Thank you for your packaging effort! Maybe you can add one small fix for a deprecated dkms feature, according to https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/514#issuecomment-2821267860: Replace CLEAN="make clean" with CLEAN=true in dkms.conf.in.

Does anyone know how to modify this package for version 17.0.2? That's the last XSAVE-free version, and my attempts so far have not been successful. My modified PKGBUILD is at https://0x0.st/86J4.txt.
