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

I just did a system upgrade and /etc/init.d disappeared.

I reinstalled this package but the /etc/init.d/vmware file is not coming back.

Hello,

On the last 16.2.1-4 version, if you enable "_enable_macOS_guests=y" in PKGBUILD, you have the following error :

-> Téléchargement de unlocker-3.0.7.py…

...

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

==> ERREUR : Erreur lors du téléchargement de https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DrDonk/unlocker/v3.0.7/unlocker.py

Unlocker has now new versions (not python anymore, it seems ?), and 3.0.7 does not seem to be there anymore.

Thank you.

Best regards,

ZEBofx

I'm using Manjaro Upgraded using Pamac GUI. It noted the Libcrypt-compat dependency and installed it. Everything works fine.

For people using Manjaro, the best solution is probably to not update this package for the moment (stay on 16.2.1-3). libxcrypt-compat dependency is useless for you, it seems that your glibc package already contains the required library. Just be careful during the next system upgrades: when glibc package will be updated, you will probably be able to update this package.

Greetings! My system is Manjaro KDE.

Same issue:

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

I've downloaded libxcrypt-compat-4.4.28-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I've tried: sudo pacman -U --asdeps libxcrypt-compat-4.4.28-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
The system's answer is:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libxcrypt-compat: /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 exists in filesystem (owned by glibc)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

No idea what to do next.

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
