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

I had the same problem as @Glocke. The problem is that Manjaro/Arch sees the version of the packet as older than the previous one. vercmp 25H2-4 25H2u1-1 1 Then I just installed again with yay -S vmware-workstation

@Glocke remove your cache directory before installing so it can update the pkgbuild. for example, rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/vmware-workstation

@sinayion

It is, unless you uncomment _remove_vmware_keymaps_dependency=y: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=vmware-workstation#n116

sinayion commented on 2026-03-01 06:26 (UTC)

When trying to install, it requires vmware-keymaps. Should be added as a dependency.

@Glocke: so what?

Glocke commented on 2026-02-28 17:44 (UTC)

vmware-workstation: local package (25H2-4) is newer than the package available in the AUR (25H2u1-1)
