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

libxcrypt-compat is a new Arch package, if you use Manjaro it could explain why this package does not exist in your repository for the moment.

To complete @yurikoles solution, to install libxcrypt-compat as a dependency (which will be removed when not necessary anymore), you should type sudo pacman -U --asdeps <path/to/>libxcrypt-compat-4.4.28-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

@ajgringo619 the only difference is the addition of libxcrypt-compat dependency, it is very unlikely this is the reason of your problem.

@Captn138 @xavierbaez

I also faced the same issue, but the package is still there and available to manual download, which can be installed via sudo pacman -U <path/to/>libxcrypt-compat-4.4.28-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

-> Could not find all required packages: libxcrypt-compat (Wanted by: vmware-workstation)

Since 2022/02/25 update (16.2.1-4), the package requires libxcrypt-compat, which is not available to download anymore.

Does someone have a quick'n'dirty fix or can this be corrected somehow?

Hi, my ovftool not working:

ovftool

/usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/ovftool.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Edit:

Solved by cp libcrypt.so.1 founded in steam to /usr/lib/vmware-ovftool

@AveryFreeman The file /etc/vmware/networking is created by the service vmware-networks-configuration.service, which is automatically called by the service vmware-networks.service. You should only need to start/enable vmware-networks.service to see all the /dev/vmnet* devices appear.

All of the systemd units are stored in /usr/lib/systemd/system.

re: Sticky, where are unit files installed? I re-installed using the .bundle before I saw this because I was missing /dev/vmnet{0,1,8}

should I assume /lib/systemd/system, /etc/systemd/user?

not everyone wants to have services they don't use/need to be enabled by default.
