When running firefox and vmware together, it sometimes get frozen, and it happens usually when I copy something and swith to the vmware it stuck, but clicks on the frozen screen still make sense. My vmware version is 17.5.0-2, archlinux with kernel 6.6.9-arch1-1, and wm is hyprland with nvidia video card, I am not sure if the N card is the culprit:(

@JThundley - I agree with you regarding issues with zen. I switched to linux-lts as suggested by @jihem and OS is way more stable but unfortunately vmware 17.5.x immediately hangs my thinkpad, so i will stay with 17.0.2 for a while. Maybe new version will solve it. I also disabled huge pages as wiki suggest, but it didn't help.
BTW I found another issue not related to that one, caused by nvidia gpu (vm is running but not accessible and notebook hangs afer a while) but easy solution is to avoid using nvidia and stay with intel ;).

@wgustowski I think there's a problem with the latest release of linux-zen. I had all kinds of weird "rcu_preempt detected stalls on cpus/tasks" in dmesg and seemingly random programs would freeze up. I downgraded to the previous version and then had trouble building vmware modules for it so I decided to try the latest vmware. I'd recommend you do the same as me and downgrade your linux-zen and linux-zen-headers and run the latest vmware-workstation. Good luck!

I don't have the skills to try to fix this issue (the patch I've added comes from this project: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules, and I don't understand what it does exactly).
For the moment, I can only suggest to switch to linux-lts until VMware releases a new version which fixes this issue.

Unfortunately its still doesn't work for me, but i have a bit different problem. If i will run vm after upgrade to 17.5.x, my host (notebook) will freeze and only hard reset would be an option.
I tried both kernel versions zen (that i use most of time) and main linux. As workaround i use older version, but would be good to find solution for that issue. Do you have any ideas/suggestions?

I upgraded to the latest vmware-workstation and confirmed that it now works again. Thanks again for all your effort :)
jihem commented on 2023-11-09 18:03 (UTC)
I have the same problem. I've just pushed a patch that seems to fix it.

I also face issue after upgrade kernel to 6.6.1. The host loose network connection. Can't shutdown/reboot the host OS. Using endevourOS.
curled commented on 2023-11-09 09:22 (UTC)
I updated my kernel to kernel 6.6.1, but once I boot my guest os(whatever windows or linux), my host lose network connection, and even I close the guest os, the network still stuck, and sometimes it makes my waybar and firefox freeze...

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
