How do I use vmware-installer in this package? I need to use the workaround for vmware-tools for a windows guest that's described on the wiki page for VMWare.

@justmeagain: Probably stupid question, but did you think to start vmware-networks service? If yes, do you have some errors? (systemctl status -l vmware-networks.service)
You can start vmware-netcfg program to manage network interfaces (and, for example, remove and recreate vmnet1, maybe it will fix your problem).
You can also reset all interfaces with the command "rm -r /etc/vmware/{networking,vmnet*} && systemctl restart vmware-networks-configuration.service"

"Could not connect 'Ethernet0' to virtual network 'dev/vmnet1'".
This is the warning message I get when launching a virtual machine.
Everything else works flawless, but I cannot connect guests to any network because vmnet adapters does not exists.
Seems that installation process did not created the virtual network interfaces needed by vmware

@jihem: oh man. I just put my dunce cap on. You're absolutely right. I forgot to load gksu on this clean install. :(
jihem commented on 2017-06-24 11:24 (UTC)
@frail: I cannot reproduce your bug. Actually, I think this bug is not related to this package.
To verify that, install gksu package and start a graphical program with gksu (for example: "gksu nautilus"). If you have the same error, so your bug is not related to this package and is probably a bad configuration of your system. Search a solution on Google.
If gksu works, the problem probably comes from this package, but I have no idea how to solve it. Try to uninstall the package, remove /etc/vmware and /etc/vmware-installer directories if they still exist and reinstall the package.

I'm not sure if it's intentional although I'm unable to enter in my license key. Clicking the button opens a prompt:
"Failed to run '/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-enter-serial' -n 'VMware Workstation' -v '12.0' as user root.
Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
Anyone run up against this?

@jihem Thank you very much !!! I installed the package manually following the first link, thank you !

@jmboris: This is because yaourt creates packages in RAM (/tmp directory is by default in RAM for performance reasons) and the creation of this package needs a lot of memory. Several solutions:
- manually install this package outside /tmp (without yaourt, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages)
- change the directory used by yaourt to create packages (variable TMPDIR in /etc/yaourtrc)
- prevent /tmp to be used in RAM (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/tmpfs#Disable_automatic_mount)

@jihem Of course I did not try to reinstall the software, doh!
After a reinstall(I did a complete uninstall of Workstation first), everything is working again.
Thank you!
(I am running the 4.11.3-1 kernel)

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
