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

@JulianXhokaxhiu It's working now. The issue was caused by my work network. Thanks for your help!

@JulianXhokaxhiu Yeah, seems like setting http_proxy was not enough for yay to start using the proxy...only setting all_proxy as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Proxy_server#curl_and_pacman resolved the issue. Thx for the response

@echolee: That's correct because they have removed the DNS records officially. We're remapping them on this package via curl, see DLAGENTS in PKGBUILD.

I can access broadcom.com but cannot connect to softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com, even via a browser.

nslookup softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

** server can't find softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com: NXDOMAIN

nslookup broadcom.com
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Unable to install through yay, HTTP 403 on every softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com Tried to access it through multiple VPNs and either ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED or PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR (yes, VPNs do work on every other site, even on broadcom.com itself; it's not a CLI problem either, curl and dig work fine on broadcom.com but not on the softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com)
