Using the MS-Edge Win10 VM image, as supplied by MS.
Performance using vmware-worksation (16.2.3-2) seems to be horrible. It's responsive for a few seconds, then stalls for 10 seconds, rinse and repeat. Task manager shows Win10 is not CPU bound or RAM starved, so it's not clear what's causing the unresponsiveness
VMWare tools is installed, nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, should be more than capable. Anyone else seeing similar issues?
@jihem Thanks for your advice.I change "export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=yes" then reboot my system, and problem fixed.
@heimodl The export to ovf works for me (at least with VMware Workstation, not tested with VMware Player). Maybe this is a problem with dependencies. Can you try to decomment the line export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=yes in /etc/conf.d/vmware, restart VMware and retry to export your virtual machine, and tell me if that works?
Hey guys, I just find that exprort vm to ovf failed in the latest versionn(16.2.3-2) Here the error message:
Export failed: Unknown error, please try again. If the problem
persists, please contact VMware Technical Support and provide
/tmp/vmware-darklord/ovftool.log
BUT /tmp/vmware-darklord/ovftool.log is null. So i had to change the version to vmware-workstation15 15.5.7-8, then the error disappeared....
Does anybody know the solution? Thanks
ok thx. Btw, I tried v16.2.1 as well and get the same journal spam. Sadly that's the last version I can try. All the older ones won't allow me to build the kernel modules.
@ajgringo619 Good to know I am not alone. Could you please link to your post, so I can keep an eye on it? Thx
I just noticed, as soon as I enable networking
$ sudo systemctl start vmware-networks.service
my journal gets spammed with these messages, non stop and as far as I can tell it never ends spamming.
Apr 07 13:31:57 main kernel: userif-10: sent link up event.
Apr 07 13:31:58 main vmnet-natd[1736]: RTM_NEWADDR: index:2, addr:192.168.0.15
Couldn't find anything searching for it. Does anyone experience something similar or can give me a pointer how to fix it?
Thanks
@jihem
I accepted uefitool and in latest update made binary artifacts names lower-case in accordance to other uefitool-* packages. So please update line 412 of this PKGBUILD accordingly.

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
