When you update to version 15.0.2-4, you should see an error telling that some files already exist. This is normal, the reason is that some files previously included in this package are now provided by another package (vmware-keymaps) which is now a dependency.

One solution is to install vmware-keymaps with the option --overwrite usr/lib/vmware/xkeymap/\* before updating vmware-workstation. Another solution is to uninstall your current version of vmware-workstation, then build and install the new version (with vmware-keymaps dependency).

After the first installation, please:

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

2) Enable the services you need:

vmware-networks.service: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator.service: to connect USB devices inside VMs
vmware-hostd.service: to share VMs on the network

For people who would stay on VMware 14, you can switch to vmware-workstation14 package.

Hi,

Macosx part seems broken :)

15.1.0 requires the patches to be updated (version increment and updpkgsums does not build). Not 100% my patch is correct http://stro.nz/public/PKGBUILD.patch http://stro.nz/public/modules.patch But, build, rmmod vmw_vmci vmmon && modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon, start vmware. Worked for me. Hope that helps.

as of May 14th, this package is out of date, the new version is 15.1.0 which I assume has fixes for the updated 5.1.2 kernel.

I get an error when trying to start workstation (installation was successful):

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am unable to start workstation through gui (silent failure) nor cli (via 'vmware' command). I believe it's stemming from vmware-modconfig which also gives the segfault error.

Remember to install linux-headers so that the kernel modules can be compiled against it. It is listed as an optional dependency and therefore is not required to be installed

EDIT In case someone else have the same problem, disable firejail with sudo firecfg --clean Install and then re-enable firejail, solved it for me.

I get an error when trying to install. Been looking for an answer all over but not managed to find any solution yet, any ideas?

jihem: thanks for the reply. I understand your situation.

I can patch the .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD files at the update. No big deal. Thanks again for explaining.

jihem: I have just installed/updated vmware-keymaps and vmware-workstation with a single pacman command – without any special command line options. You will only get problems if you are trying to do that using two steps.

@jhem thank you that worked!
